once upon an eternity

once upon a star-filled night
we will meet
and you will look at me
the dark pools of your eyes
like the ocean, foaming waves
swelling up with questions
my eyes will look into yours
like a tunnel on some mountain
pass, hope
gleaming at the other end.

we will embrace
you and i

each time you
imprint a question on the sand,
the arms of
despair will wipe it out
again
and again.

once upon an eternity
we will meet.
