the cold breeze that hits me above my left ear
the blank stare i so easily fall into
the transparent look on your face, of unnamed fear
the hand of mine you still hold
imagining how it's supposed to be
yes, it seems we both have needs
and yet, we live by different creeds
i feel that may be our downfall, love
understand now,
it's not what it should to be

if i became an expanse of sea

would you find my coast a cool place to dip your sorrows, as you     would your toes in insufferable heat

would you thirstily jump to my refreshing depth, looking to soothe and   attend some unbeknownst desire

would you wade to the shallow depth
and fill your cup with my summery libation

would you cast nearby tropical flowers in my tide
watching them swirl with contempt and longing as my waves carry    them aimlessly but gleefully
  
would you flood me with boundless questions,
submerging your mind with my saturating sapience

would you compose timeless billets-doux,
forming the cursive lines from the foam atop my waves

or would you extinguish your cigarette in my lurking , subfuscous waves,
as you shrunk rapidly from my sandy shoreside

would you toss fragments in my whitecaps, getting rid of the things you no longer cared for

or would the swirl of my water dizzy your mind, murkily shrouding your ability to think lucidly

if the wind leads you towards land
or where the deep color of the sky harmonize’s with my iridescence,
try to find slumber in the vespertide

allow the viridescent vapor to ease you in my
thalassic cavern

if you sought other sea’s to soak your searching soul in,
know my desire would not diminish,
but wade in its wishful want

our minds used to dance,
upon each other fingers, our thoughts entranced.

a gaze so transfixed rock stood no feat
with your steady watch my cheeks filled a warm heat

with your absence i am rendered gazeless
my fingers now seemingly useless
