The Sleep of the Beloved

“Come sleep with me: we won’t make love, love will make us.”

Mine

Spirit Wife

“Every moment you spend with her, I envy you.”—Etienne Navarre (From the movie “Ladyhawke”)

My wife is in spirit now. 

I still talk to her,

confide in her,

cry with her.

We dance, sing and pray together.

But I cannot touch her, human flesh to human flesh.

I long for you, Angelena. 

I would sell my soul for one more touch…
