if love is
water
then wave’s a
kiss,
full and bracing upon
parched
lips.
rhyme
you drop bread
crumbs as
love,
as i fade to my
own heart
and each time, i chase
your gracious
trail
right back to where
we start.
you smiled
a bit,
and i hid..
like a
kid,
for you had
melted years within
and found me home
again.
it was humanly
natural
and destined
to be
the truth that
broke our
quiet
as tears restored
the peace.
in facing my
worst
it cast light
on your
best,
and i basked
in that
glow
more than i’d
let you
know.
you returned
brighter
to
blind,
so i didn’t open
my eyes
yet
realized.
braced to your
wing,
wind whipping
skin–
a trust
sheltered within.
visible from
shore
are shadows
midst the waves,
as moonlight
holds vigil
over underwater
graves.
upon
dashboard–
i spot lights and
dials to guide
my ride
midst
whispers
from backseat
driver side.
icing sugar powders
window-
lips blow
clearing glass,
as it fogs up
before my
eyes,
she claim clouds
don’t last.
