Fish

After the heaven's curtains eclipsed the daylight,
The bed carries my weight; Indian sit.
With both hands folded upright
I envisage a mortal's silhouette.

The two unsealed windows on his face flicker
Like stars dropping light on life below;
And his smile is the sun engulfing the shiver
Consoling any chilled fellow.

My eyes caught his beatific trait 
And I ascertain;
Submerged in this sea so quiescent,
He resembles my greatest dream.

Now, before I rest my head on mellow cotton,
I'll grip for his fin and hold it tight.
I'll blow wishing candles in orison,
May this vertebrate swim his way to my life.
