sea glass kaleidoscope

I’m just a runaway fantasy
a hundred breaths of seafoam
spoke like wisps of match smoke
behind your ear

I escape to you
when my hands idly play
and rub each other warm
thinking of your touch

When the dawn melts to day
the chain left to the anchor snaps
and lost it with my thoughts
of the day before
barely echo

Each day
I’ve to conquer
to reach the realization
that I’ve only loved you
an illusion chosen.

You are a poem unread, not yet wrote
a song unsung, declared not
each day another line, a verse
your beauty speaks another word
someday I hope to peer into the eyes
of the best soul ever written on earth.

Sadly, I’ve forgotten your face
but I remember your lips; their taste
the first snowfall of autumn
the snap chill on my skin
I will never forget your taste

your moves
like the way wind floods pollen
and if you really look
you witness a mess of molecules
become a sea on air
you’re a sea on earth
in every breath and smile
a sea
and I choke
on keeping it to myself.

I would give everything I have left
to swim in your neck
and on your waves; your lips; your tongue.
To drown in your breath
and sink
sink
until my lips turn blue
lungs full of beauty; cold blood hue.

*I’m baaack. About a girl, obviousily.
