The Poem

Each syllable of the poem
Was hiding in soft cocoons behind your eyes
Transforming me, transforming you
Into branch and water
Bamboo and cloud
Unspoken plaintive heartbeats
Were the cadence of these words
Each letter lying languid in a lonely silver lagoon
And the poem like a river was unleashed raging
Finding us flying
When we kissed
