Under Murky Waters

I see your eyes under 

the murky water

my eyes overlay yours

you carry a- torch

flame lapping the

currents

you raise it languidly above 

your chest 

closer, under your chin

our eyes flicker twin flames

lighting seaweed twined

in the space
between... 

...Long I have waded 

in dark waters. 

Before my light 

crashed into yours 

A collision course 

of purple and purpose 

A galaxy of wonders 

wrapped 

in

One. 

A duet with my favourite songbird, Rafia Bilkis... whose tune puts my heart at ease.
