I WISH FOR THE STARS

 I WISH FOR THE STARS

I wish for the stars,

The stars hanging in your heart.

I wish for the silence,

The silence of your glance.

I want you in my arms,

Not for my wandering.

I will stay stone awed

By your place in my bosom.

I weep for your happiness,

Under midnight's raucous cloak.

I fly in the face of you,

In love with the smoke rings.

I wish for the stars,

That you sprinkle in my dreams.

I wish for the fragrance,

Of all my life in you.
