“The Emperor of the Dawn,”
he finally introduced himself
Sending me a text
While we were sitting on a candle lit beach
Where people were singing
We were sitting there
Having just had a cigarette after sex…
“Hello” he had said just a few hours ago
When I stepped into the salty water
“Hello” I replied
The sun started going down
And we delved into the golden hour beyond time
The Ocean became more and more infinite
As we floated further and further
The water felt less and less salty
And sweetness grew stronger and stronger
Until the slightest saltiness dissolved
And boundaries were no more…
There… he came in
And the sun went down
I think he,
the Sun I mean,
noticed us
And waived with his golden robe
Making the water around us glow
Mmmhhh…
There… I went in…
I surrendered to the dream
that was reality
reminded by a slight sensation
caused by salty water in my temple…
We were almost back to the shore
When I finally opened my eyes
Just to see the dream continuing
“Ide were were”… a mantra to the Goddess of sweet waters they sang
around candles
We sat down
I rolled a tobacco
And whispered:
“This beach will always be a beach of sweet waters…”
That’s when he introduced himself
And maybe that’s where the Emperor was born
Because what I didn’t know was
That actually all beaches and seas
became ones of sweet waters from there on
Because…
Not just the Emperor, but also he Empress was born
So I opened my phone
the next morning on this new beach
that’s water was ever so sweet
And texted him:
“The Empress of Sweet Waters. Nice to meet you!”
And although there was no reply
And his love lasted just till the dawn
It was enough
A new love story had begun
A never-ending one
Be well, dear Emperor!
Sincerely Yours,
The Empress
