Synchronised Swimming

As we swim down into the deep
unguarded waters of our sleep,
we dive together and it seems
tonight we’ll meet at last in dreams.
We broke the vows the waking keep
and left our bed clothes in a heap
and, skinny dipping now, we reap
what we have sown at love’s extremes
as we swim down.

Then, as we swim, our shadows meet
and steal away to soundless deep
while, tightly wrapped in blue moonbeams,
we kiss, now knowing what this means;
we’re most alive when sound asleep.
So we swim down...
