As If In A Dream



i woke up in a sweat
race up to the lake
with a bottle of champagne to amend myself
in vain i look up to the waning moon-mistress
i look for you,i search for you-mine soft
sweetest,gentle,fiery,foaming,liquefying
poem---alas,all in vain
suddenly,as if in a dream,i see you passing
in the half-lit-moon-wedded-woods
worn in nothingness but love-rays
O i almost passed out w/ your beauty
daughter of Aphrodite-blinding beauty
my champagne broke,cigarette in the socket
got soaked-i lost time,i lost all
ran i after you like a topless top round
around the Solar-Ball
B4 i could penetrate,you disappeared once
again;leaving me, nandeenee,with darkness
dreams,loneliness,broken champagne,soaked
cigarette!
