dream eternal

i dreamt that we were dead

our cold hands clasped for eternity

our empty eyes locked in a lovers gaze

our lips locked in an lasting kiss

our breath no longer warm in each other’s faces, only an empty echo carried away with the wind

our bodies slowly rotting side by side in the flowers

our love spreading into the earth below us, feeding the soil and fertilizing the fruit

i dreamt that we were dead together
