When the salt chuck was mine
I promised to dance as the ocean waves on the smiles you grant
For the sea I was a trap of destiny
To the sand I was too slippery to stamp
I embraced the wind bearing the taste of brine
I rendered a pledge from your bright eyes into the sea’s chant
Every edge of this tedious isle
You were the unending aria
At dawn, you would passionately rip the queen conch
The hush of the gale would turn into wail
The sun would set as the shore would reflect
Your voice a ditty, a glassy reverie
When the hurricane arrived
You were carried away by fright
A zephyr into a whirlwind
Drawing abyssal rumpus into ordeal
I tried to hold your hand tight
But you whispered “this is what it’s supposed to be”
You carved the salt into your skin- a sight of crystalline art
And breathed “i found a better shore than your stormy coast”
It was only a sojourn you said
So you left my briny, dull and murky
The salt chuck was a wreck
The queen conch was whacked

You say you love me
when you let outrage shower my soul
letting the tears escape
and thoughts grumbling
You say you love me
when you're tired of explaining
confused notions seizing seconds into hours
unwelcome thoughts conquering my sense
You say you love me
when you offer two words for my essay
disregarding the good points
heeding slipped appalling curses
You say you love me
when I see more lights in your eyes without me
i was once the peek of your existence
wider smiles, forgetting i exist
I am a boke in those glimmering eyes
blurred and easy to forget
I know, I know--
I knew.

My bed sheets remain the same
With the tainted love stained on white roses
With the scent of skin fusing and hopes colliding
All for the pleasure of sweet surrenders
To my divan where you used to breathe in
Silence of exhaling roars
To my pillowcase trapped forever
Deep groans that left glorious scars
Bashfulness banished off the frame
Rolling strengths into the threads
Savoring the agony of loud throbs
Whispering my name to depth
For the love that is lost
For the love that never fades away
For the love that wanders every day
To my bed linens carved to eternity
