Saberi Roy - Oracle by Midnight

I met you behind
those secret veils
our soft romance
was a disappearing shadow
yet it had iron wings
in baroque designs
when the sky
covered me like a cloth.

You were the stars
my hydrogen jewelry
my red pajamas loosened
and you laughed in circlets
those ticklish breaths
of winter leaves.

they still nestle
on my shoulders and fingertips
like checkered suns,
forgotten sins
you were tightly
wrapped in my palm
rolled capsules and sushi rice.

and when in the night
I'm unaware
or simply dead sea silent,
your voice creates its ripples
within me.


******

I was jazz
to your ears,
I heard your broken notes
joined them in toccatas
so you were smiling
violets of garden silt
when I choked in you.

I looked into your eyes
twinkle like a flame
and became
a fallen eyelash
in your lucid unconscious.

I met you
with the pink corals counting,
rain drops were nacre pearls,
your heart was still open
like a child's mouth,
and I entered it
through your skin.

so then in the night
when you are unaware,
or your eyes
are simply Pluto calm,
I sit peaceful, creating beats
within you.
