In Romeo’s Ghost’s Clutch
I slept in you without your knowledge. You
Were sleeping in my arms and I slept in
Your brain and yet because my eyes are blue
Your mind did not hold on to me. No sin
Arose, at least not in your sleeping soul.
I cannot promise that no sin in me
Occurred. Of course this was because the whole
Of me absorbed you. Large as Ocean Sea
Columbus crossed is where your meaning hid.
Because that mystery lies there, waking I
Am doomed to find it never. Deep love slid
To underwater caverns lurking sly.
I dreamed inside you and you did not know.
I only grasp that it will never go.
