Love Poem: Ila

Ila

I speak to you with words
of Forever, and Always; call
to you, using splashes and dashes
of light, pulsing beyond any
common obscurity...but there is no 
code to my caring – beaming
slip-less slides, and raging currents 
of timeless affection; I am
the contrary boy boring holes
in dikes – though we live 
at a sea, often confused and 
seemingly slammed by encroaching 
depths, but, yet, I remain buoyant – 
my sole focus on you – you, my only 
meaningful surface...you, my 
sextant and compass.
My three quarter earth. All land.
My sky. My Forever and
Always. Happy Birthday!
