I Want You When You are Sleeping

i want you when you are sleeping
neither the yearning
in the longing of the 'what darkness'

nor soft sleep that shades the miracle of love
nor the privacy of my soul
can dream water!

I agonize in what I seee as a magnificiant sculpture
The sound it arrrives to my ears as i confess in the subtle air that spills to roses
In an atomic drop of golden stars
Holding together two tones of light

I love you
this I read to you in a silent question
you are full of me

Can the night stars be like butterflies
sleepy moon , sleepy sky

We both are dreams
We both sound like strangers arriving in the night

So our smiles will meet
and you can find me
When silence perfumes the air

Don't guard your dreams from me
so sweetly just let go
into the hours where we can be close

for now
i can only want you
when you are sleeping
