By dreaming I reach
............................ the core of your warmth.
Breathing you nightly
................................ keeps me undaunted.
Loads melting, float
........................ weightless within my heart.
My mind drinks your word
.............................. or it becomes parched.
How many sips
...........................will render me thirstless?
Time cannot enliven me
............................................like your verse.
Keeping you near means
........................................my spirit survives.
If this be love, friend,
.................................. then it nets me alive.
