Returning To The Sea

A poem about allowing yourself the vulnerability to be in love

Drowning in your crystal seas

Reluctantly I cease to breathe

Gripped by storms within your eyes

Never wishing to release me

From torrents wild as your mane

Words and images spin through my brain

Love and lust and hope and trust

Opened chest, and skin of rust

Exposing every nerve and vein

Turning every empty page

Ink and image wane and stray

Of my very soul they will betray

Not magic wands or words of mage

Nor swords of knights will dragons slay

Giving breathy fire to my thoughts

Embers cast on pages splayed

Burn deeper memories as they fade

Dark, in the voice you use to convey

The feelings in your heart, betray

And the love and lust and hope and trust

Inspired by each word, and touch

Each kiss, each breath

Each whisper over neck and ear

My muse to be, whom I hold so dear

Lay with me and write the prose

In summer sun and winter snows

Blooming flowers in your heart so free

Returning the tempest of your crystal seas

Once again I’m held and bound

To drown within you, breathlessly

See what you do to me?

It's gorgeous, Paul! Why have I never seen this? I'm so honored.

Well, I mean, there was some time there that we really weren't in each other's sphere. A lot has been published in my blog, but not in other places.
