DESIDERIUM

How I wish
That you were not you
And I was not me
But two dark strands
Of ecstasy
Tangling together
And unraveling
In a pagan dance
Of fantasy
Intoxicated by the scents
Of each other's breath
Teetering drunk
At the edges of sanity
How I wish we could bridge
Time, tide and destiny
Two voices, lost
In one song of love
Its notes playing on
For eternity
