it is bitterly wonderful
subliminally divine
how you now spend so little time
in my thoughts confined

“What do you think wisdom is,” she asked.
“The purification of life," he replied,
as leant over and kissed her.

With her, I knew no control,
Consequence, tragedy,
Still take their toll

I saw her and thought I'd shatter,
I gasped, clutched my heart,
Ripped and tattered

She looked like heaven incarnate,
I felt like hell, struck,
Cursed love, ****** fate

deep and unexplored, endless and full of life
birthed from within we broke the surface, gasping in amazement
and there we return in awestruck wonder

his eyes were emerald, and her eyes were sapphire
but your eyes are a sea

heart beating fast, enamored with the thunderous crash of the storm
heart beating slow, content with the light at the brilliant sunset
home again on the sturdy rocks, home again on the shifting sands

his eyes were shining, and her eyes were bright
but your eyes are a sea

creator of myth and legend, vast and eternal it stands
building a map to the ends of the earth where silence sleeps
beyond the flight of the birds and the reach of the sun's arms

his eyes were rich, and her eyes were rare
but your eyes are a sea

cold and unforgiving the earth remains
rubies and pearls measure wealth and gains
but when they are gone the waves shall reign
your eyes are a sea

She fell for the clumsiness of
his touch when they first met,
nerves of loves first kiss.
He had become swift and
eloquent with is touch.
Now his fingers questioned
and answered every part of her and
she loved how his fingers spoke
fluently to her body in a language
without words.
