Adjectival
 
Ocean, sky, wind, fire, bird, fish,
Mountain, earth, grass, tune, water,
Stream, light n’ dark, bed, pillow,
You, me, carpet, sofa, sweat, word,
No-word and smiles…
 
We’re resting on a land
Deeper into the jungle where
 
You are my ocean, as you wave me
I am the sky, as you keep me blue
You’re wind, as I flow
I am fire, as you make me eat
 
You are bird as you nest over me
I am the fish as you let me swim
You are the mountain where I rock
I am the earth, as you dig me inside
 
You’re the grass, as I grass-hop
I am the tune, as you let me waltz
You water me, as I quench
I stream you, as you undress
 
You are the light, as I am the path
I am the dark, as you stop the harp
You are bed, as I sleep
I am the pillow, as you unrest
 
You are I, as I am you
I am the carpet, as you untie
You are sofa, as I find it soft
I am the sweat, you plough me on-the-spot
 
You are word, as I say
I be no-word, as you sense
 
Action!!
 
We are the smile.

The ending was splendid and well worked into the rest of the words, I thought.
Along with the melody that this carries on one's toungue, the language itself is beautiful.
This was lovely, and thank you for requesting that I read it. Feel free to send me requests and check out my stuff whenever.
