Waves

Let me ride your waves, let me hold your gaze-

Let me hold you close, let me hold your ghost.

Your velvet, rough skin held against my cheeks,

Fall into your soul, in this waterfalled creek.

Our fingers held together, clasped and entwined,

Our eyes sing together, your chest upon mine.

Your elegance surrounds me, my heart bursts alight,

Siren calls, birds of paradise act as dancing kites.

Tides overhead- we struggle with all our might,

Caught in the rip current's bittersweet fight.

Then the world itself folds, the sky becomes bound,

Plants and animals fall, noise and songs lose sound.

Winds and waters move no more...

Sun and moon swept ashore.
