laisser tranquille.

i can hold you in the silent hours
when all is still and the nighttime lingers
when only the shushing sound of water
caressing the boat hull is heard

i can hold you in this twilight world
where no one is wrong
and nothing is forbidden
phantom arms and secret kisses
from ghosts
i should know better than to wake
but whose touches i can’t bear
to live without

Love the imagery in this piece, and the emotion in the following lines:
where no one is wrong
and nothing is forbidden
phantom arms and secret kisses
from ghosts
