Reaching for you

Gentle waves at the seashore
There you stood, a seashell on your hand
Your dreamy face the colour of wine
Washed by the blazing sunset

At that beach, staring towards the ocean
Lips in half smile, like petals
Caught in sweet repose
Your turquoise eyes stare

On that eternal shore
As the wind blow
My heart was ripped raw
With the sight of you

Building a sand castle
In my mind, a fluff
Of imagining, a subtle
Sweet dream, a vision

Outside my vision,
Some crabbed and shrimped
They lived, they love they wander on
They elaborated on life, their own

Within the you and me
In our own garden in the forest
Watching you next to me
Tombstone, a mark, no word spoken, just rest

I remembered when you took me away
The touch of your luscious lips
The way you licked and bite
Ecstatic, I soared, drunk in the symphony

Like a goddess by the lake
I birthed manipulations
To sway the sea, white crested waves
Thundering beyond the mists

“Blow bitter wind,
Above me, o’ rain do fall,
I chant this bitter song
To bring back my lover’s soul”

Knife in my hand, I sang
Asking the powers above
I chanted incantations
I sang, whispered, entreat, o’love

The thousand names of the gods
Arrayed in purple, dressed in diamonds
Death in its shadows
Beauty of darkness beneath

What language speaks death?
What eternity do I traverse?
Do I kneel in worship?
Beat these gorgeous breasts?

I cried to the void
Through the darkness of under
Green nature was gone, sleep
Fled, I was crushed

Here I stand near the water
The blue sea yonder turned black
The pink and red roses at the corner
Of my vision faded now

Why am I alone again?
Through this life I traverse on
Alone like a silly apparatus
Under a dark sky, with wet cheeks.
