LOVE OF THE RIM

LOVE OF THE RIM

your lips...
had never been that generous
glass was my body
wine...my soul..
your smile was joy
and I
reaching your mind ...
dancing and turning..
sky was on earth..
yet earth in sky..
stars danced with souls
we danced with moon

image of sun
reflected from your glass
into your eyes..
into your soul..
that indeed was my eye
reaching you to tie

smile on your lips
became laughter in my soul
you were in me
where was I
in us
whose laughter of it
yours... mine...
ours...ıt had to be ours
in our own solitude
in a green forest
crowed...but none saw us
forest was cool
yet the fire was there..in us..
flames of fire were our tongues
