I And You

I And You

A Poem by Lucas Grasha

 My hands shake beyond what I believe,

the skies have opened up their eyes upon me.

With hate they look, as despise, they must,

I cry to their Wings, “I’ve had my enough!”

I scream and scream, till my voice starts to bleed,

but I wake back up in a dream, fantasy.

I’m on the sands; they’ve brought me here,

back to these hearts that I held so dear.

I hear them calling, their voices clear,

I cry back to them in pouring tears.

I’ve left them so; I know what I’ve lost,

there was no price of this, not a knowing cost.

I sprawl on their fabrics, the skin of life,

I find their warmth within confines of night.

They do not recede, like the waters onshore,

what more could a man as me ask for?

I have been brought my comfort, my solace sands,

I may finally be able to put rest in my hands.

Replace this parchment, this ball-point pen,

let my heart find life again.

Build me a vessel; let me sail these seas,

let me sail until I find myself another beach.

And then, there, I will rebuild at last,

far away from my sailing mast.

And then, there, maybe I’ll find my love,

surely, my last song hath yet to be sung.

And maybe, there, you’ll start there with me,

to intertwine so tight, to feel your breath with my breathe.

We will have our island, our own domain,

far from confines, far from restrain.

We will own the sunset, the sunrise too,

for if you want, let it be only I and you.

Love the ending. '"I've had my enough!"' Was that intentional? Just curious.
