	WISH

	By Grish Davtian

	I want to sit under the stars
	And count the stars in your eyes.

	I want to pluck the petals of the flowers
	And discover the colors of your eyes.

	I want to perch in the garden
	And breathe the roses of your eyes.

	I want to walk on the beach
	And gather the pebbles of your eyes.

	I want to bathe in the sun
	And warm up by the sun of your eyes...

	...And drink the torrid taste of your lips,
	I want...
