BODY & SOUL

Your body is a dream

Your soul is a stream

Into which my thoughts flow

And shine till the afterglow

The scent of your skin

Expires from within

And floats like a silent sigh

So the spell is cast: wonder why?

Here I stand away from who

Once shared the thoughts of you

But I am closer now to me:

I look ahead, and I feel free...
