Sapphire
Cobalt cold
a blue, like cranberry juice
a richness...none-too-sweet - so resonant
competing with tartness in me
Deep teal, seeping teal;
bottomless as soul
We swam in air...or water
detached - a match in the drink
I knew what you were thinking
I knew better than to blink
Swaying up on seabeds
I wore...something, I recall it not...
maybe it was naught
spines weaving waves
sparring the tide
My frame,
gaining your gazes
Contrary outlander fire blazed
We faded, freaks allying our intensities
under uncanny light - deviant flame
My hair pooling - mousey
I was drowsy
You were rousing
I felt it in your ribs
Aloft, I was...
Then;
you held me...a softness
A boldness
Sevenfold strength to my form
Floating, recognizing...
the same same brine in my eyes
