Love Poem: Oceans of You

Oceans of You

Strange gray island
Cloaked
In salty haze

Dead slate clouds
Falling
Over pitching blackness

A hint of song
Carried
Across haunted swells

I can barely
Make
Out the sweet lyrics

Glowing with warmth
Skin
Kissed by eternity

A lover promised
Finally
From a ghostly paradise

Insane beauty
Reaching
Out to me

Liquid desolation separates
Her
From me

Must cross

Now


Ahh! There she is!

Succulent treasure

Singing (wailing)
Beckoning (demanding)
Promising (bargaining)
Drawing (pulling)

Jagged rocks looming….
Coming closer…

…in focus now…

warming (chilling)
comforting (incarcerating)
giving (taking)

can’t    turn    back

kissing (damning)
loving (loving)

OhYesOhNoOhYesOhNo

Becoming one
Letting go now
Goodbye
Goodbye

Shrieking laughter
Echoes
Through the minds of the lost
