Swam across a river, in my dream, at noon.
Savored a sliver, of the River of Tears, mosaic afternoon.
The Sun almost sets there, a lone swimmer.
The water slightly sticks.
The River of Tears, only for one, still, only one at a time truly cries.
I had a guitar, under the thatched roof,
Waiting for a tune to slither out of slumber,
But poetry is what I want least,
Not a song on mind, empty is my feast is.
Had been a long time,
This time, the Nubile Godess,
Fooled me like countless others,
Is how I again tasted the river.
….Nothing to fight. Nowhere was there a sight.
My princess, here, wait a sec, let the smoke dissipate.
The River of Tears, doesn’t cause you Fear.
Live on with happiness, let us not search for a mind….
