The Street of Shadows

i morphed into the mind
of the beloved
in the moist hour; gathering dreams

your sweet fragrance of desire
becomes the light
the living light of my life

i taste the divine fruit of thought
chasing the
future in the street of shadows

i sow the seeds of destiny in the
nick of time
extolling the virtues of the desert utopia

you unlock my imagination under
the sky of blue
feeding my hungry soul

i move towards singularity
in the defining
moment when love flowers in my veins
