golden sand

meander through my thoughts

the current brings them here and back

the sun cuts through the clouds and tells me

the secrets of every feather here

i'd like to stay here connected to you

there's too much to do off this island

gold coins waiting to be put in a pocket 

the saddest pocket that's ever been

waves appear and disappear in my sunglasses

i'm alive but i can hardly feel

we worked so hard on our technicolor world

can you hear me remembering

can you hear me feeling

beneath three layers of skin you'll feel my pulse

you pull me, you tug me to shore

i pay no attention to the tide or wind

all the creatures of the sea

they think i'm aloof

did I forget or

was it self-deception

sometimes i'm chasing earthquakes

forgetting where i was

closer to anything i've ever been

you look like a goddess twisting in the sand

i can feel, i'm rich in your arms again

waves appear and disappear in my sunglasses
i'm alive but i can hardly feel
we worked so hard on our technicolor world
can you hear me remembering
can you hear me feeling

I love this stanza, as well as all of them, but this one stood out...I'm alive but I can hardly feel, wow that is exactly where its at. "our technicolor world" love it.

Love this stanza

beneath three layers of skin you'll feel my pulse
you pull me, you tug me to shore
i pay no attention to the tide or wind
all the creatures of the sea
they think i'm aloof

Nice poem, love how abstract it is.
