Amphithrite's Breast
Nicci Jun 2012
Half circle waves crash into themselves on the shore
wipes the slate clean as they rush back to the deep
Where Amphithrite cradles them to her breast
and collects the imprints of lover’s footprints
before she sends them out again

If I jump ship and the tide draws me close to your heart,
will you keep me safe in the circle of your arms
Will you extinguish the lighthouse’s glow
so the pirates can run aground on jagged rock
buried in a sailors grave where no roses grow

When all is done and the storm has gone
will you walk with me on the shore my love
close to the clean slate of the water’s edge
Where the the waves can collect our footprints
and carry them to Amphithrite’s breast
Amphithrite is the Goddess queen of the Sea, Poseidon’s wife from Greek mythology.

Farewell
Nicci Jun 2012
As we both sail off to distant shores
To find new experiences
to go our separate ways

Never forget my Love
if you find yourself in stormy seas
if you feel lonely and afraid
Somewhere under the same sky
someone remembers your name

At night if you look to the moon and the stars
and you don’t know which way to turn
Know that somewhere
underneath the same starry sky
someone else believes in you
and carries faith

If on a bright sunny day
your heart wants to burst
from uncontained joy
Under the same golden sun
there is someone out there
who remembers your laugh with a smile

So farewell my Love
may the lighthouse guide you
to find safe harbour from the storm
And should the current
cross our paths again
I will welcome you home

Shades of Real
Nicci Jun 2012
Consciousness ebbs and flows,
from truth to reality
Endless circle of energy
connecting thoughts
between you and I
manifesting different shades
of what is real
between your eyes and mine.

— The End —
