--In a dream I did see
lovely outstretched hands
  pierced with lily white light
between the Oleander and the mad seas.
  That by starlight--- chained
for more than twenty thousand years
  captive in the vast realms of Heaven,
shot forth suddenly!

--Beneath a shivering willow
  I received a flurry of quickened kisses.
The flowers that she picked
  entwined their thin arms
in each soft corner
of the violet forest to the
  cool raging streams that effervesced
into the warm azure pools--
  embroidered with lime green moss that hangs
from each branch
of the willow into the eye
   of the poet.
  He said it had a voice, firm, yet--

endless...

  as I floated back down--

distance knew not time.

  I looked deep into the apple green eyes
of the leaping panther
  as I fell back
into an ocean of pearls.

I swam back to sleep.
