your heart is too accepting
it was awfully gaped
that anyone can dock
anytime at unusual time
close your harbor
be the right place
for one certain ship

i am the shoreline
i face storms
and sunny days
and i don’t break
slowly my sands
are stolen
washed away
and yet i remain
i am fiercely determined
to succeed
and all these things
will simply help define me

swim like a mermaid
through the ocean
to me
swim through
rough waters
until you reach
the calm
under moonlight —
surface my soul
entwined with yours

the fire burns bright,
clouding my mind
with the smoke
of an angry heart.
she tries
with all her might
to put the blaze out —
will she succeed?

a fire burns
in my soul —
for him,
small at first
before it grows.
now,
it's a forest fire
that starts
from my toes
and up
through my belly
into my heart
and
to my head
i am thrilled —
by the burning

a pearl sat on the softest piece of you,
at the crossroads of your hips.
I lean in and kiss it, the delicate taste of salt,
and my cold nose is warmedby your skin,
the gentle smell of aftershave and flesh.
I look up at you, your prickled jaw looks back,
you look at your eyelids,
the sensation overcoming you.
that little pearl, a bleached version of your skin,
it is the riches of a thousand oceans.

i can not be the only one
who has those nights
where you feel
a power deep within
as if you could pull the
oceans into the earth
make the sun set
and the moon rise
turn the masses
to turn to you
those nights
where you feel
as though
you could save the world
where you feel
as though as you could
save yourself

don't expect me to do for you
what you don't do for yourself
don't mistake your right to be wrong
for my respect
the worlds collided, merged
what you attack rules over you
the song i've known for years
makes sense now but
i still won't play it out loud
but i'd watch you dance anyway
i will tell you what i have been dreaming about
since i chose to be useful
those are my real hopes
and dreams
that i want out, once and for all
but that would never be allowed
i am, we are, exhausted, anyway
your anger is justified by everything you lack
there is no point in teaching
you need to be left to learn
slowly
but
surely
here is my last line
everything this masochistic mayhem is about
it's fine to be alright
it's still normal to feel okay
it has been always normal
for you to be okay
it is okay to show vulnerability
you are human after all
but always remember to defend your keep
steady now and don't lose your footing

i dreamt of you last night
of your name lighting up the screen of my phone
of us chatting again, talking
as if we're friends
as if nothing happened
i would say that it was as if thing were normal
but that isn't normal for us.
or now is it?
normal for us is,
avoiding
ignoring
questioning
imploring
it's ambiguity and tentativeness
it is stubbornness
and resentment
and bottled feelings
and empty explanations
and hurt pride
normal for us is silence
and things are back to normal

tonight, let's dance
like daffodils in a hurricane
beautiful
flying
braving the gusts
of winds
that threaten
to tear us
apart
