Salted

Your soul shines
when your eyes
pierce mine
like the shimmer
found upon
that mountainside
where the sunset
falls
upon the horizon
and
you still can’t see
past your internal
walls & flaws
as you go
to war
with yesterday
and the key
to managing
the ebbs & flows
of healing
is sitting
within
that moment
silently
listening
sealing wounds
once vaulted
to release those
into ether
rain rain
go away
come back another day
to say
you understand
there’s more to lose
than gain
and you can’t lose
yourself in the midst
of the rain
they said
no pain, no game
but all that means
nothing
when you hold
peace
in the little things
and
tomorrow isn’t promised
sun kissed
shades of bronze
salted by the seaside
immersed
in the tidal shifts
blowing
haloed kisses
on the breeze
in the hope
they find you
whilst lost
in translation
swaddled
in love.
