With Only Our Kisses To Protect Us

I watch you sleep as if you float in a seaming sea far away from me unmoored from reality. Where are you I wonder drifting...drifting into the here of there. And now I watch your dreams hide behind your eyelids adrift now upon the vast sea unconsciousness my words mere birds high overhead I watch you until I too sucumb to that great unknown later I will enquire of what you dream of... & you tell of a boat lost upon a sea that dwarfs it in its immensity how you longed for even a single kiss to protect you. You smile as if your dream had been seen by me. Later still I take you in my arms & we both embark on that long journey together with only our kisses to protect us.
