Love Poem: Sedoka

Sedoka

Hush me forever
when sea winds light the ember
as your eyes bid a goodbye
on a tidal pool
drained by lashed rain of the sky---

and yet, I still drool.

If we meet somewhere
these my  glances will not dare
look beyond your shade
even if flowers
blossom near, far to invade
the darkness of lone hours
