A Reflection

When I was a young girl
With fresh blooded cheeks
And hair like stallions
I used to see a girl in a lake.
A beautiful girl
With skin like milk and hair so wild
Yet tamed as if washed in the water.
With fresh blooded cheeks
And hair like stallions
I used to see a girl in a lake.
A beautiful girl
With skin like milk and hair so wild
Yet tamed as if washed in the water.
I would see her at the lake
Swimming alone under the half-hidden moon.
A lake of desires
Of the men and women
Swarming around like bees and watching,
Watching only the girl.
Swimming alone under the half-hidden moon.
A lake of desires
Of the men and women
Swarming around like bees and watching,
Watching only the girl.
The rest of the world dim
Except around her, and she,
A source of light.
So focused on her was the moon.
Except around her, and she,
A source of light.
So focused on her was the moon.
I could not keep away from the her,
Wading through slime and moss
To be near, inches away,
Until the water,
Between our bodies
Could be felt so close.
Wading through slime and moss
To be near, inches away,
Until the water,
Between our bodies
Could be felt so close.
I swam with her
Until I was not young,
And she, too, no longer a girl.
Until I was not young,
And she, too, no longer a girl.
The day that I saw the girl clearly
In the sunlight
She I, and I she,
Together as one, a reflection conjoined.
Now we swim in that very same lake
Desiring one another.
Desiring forever.
In the sunlight
She I, and I she,
Together as one, a reflection conjoined.
Now we swim in that very same lake
Desiring one another.
Desiring forever.
