Ophelia, by Enas R.

Ophelia, by John Everett Millais (England) 1852

Ophelia

I am at the riverbank
drowning in your tears, Ophelia.
Why call for me?
Your soul rests in Rue.
Your soliloquy lives in aloe.
You’re a haunting echo.
I listen to your eulogy,
my heart is speechless
and wanders in a water dreamscape;
in remembrance it feels,
in freedom it breathes,
and in love it lives.
A lotus blooms in my depths,
lilies grow on my skin
and roses bloom in my palms.
I wish you would see me walk on water, Ophelia.
