while you dream at night

your eyelids whispering

telling you of the things deep inside your head

i lie awake underneath the night sky

whispering to the stars

about the way i see them reflected in your eyes

even when the night is nowhere to be seen

i whisper to the pillows caressing my head

and tell them of how the flutter of your heartbeat beside my temples

as i lie my head on your chest

caresses my soul

do i even have a soul?

or is my soul just a whisper

a whisper of the love i have for you inside me

gently scraping its way out to the surface

perhaps that is death

the whisper inside me finally escaping my lips

lifting me up to the stars

so they can caress my head

while you dream at night

your eyelids whispering
