when you meet me...
hush my love,
don't tell me that this depth
makes you afraid.
That my voice is like a siren
singing on an ocean of words.
A whirlpool
pulling you under
where no light can shine with grace.
Your crashing heart
is yours to cherish tenderly.
In my arms,
you will cyclone to the very
bottom of your soul.
My arms
are here to hold you
while your heartship
splinters and cracks
on its spiraling
downward journey.
Held
in my arms,
you and I will feel it all.
And when it is all over,
when stillness prevails...
from the crumbling shipwreck you
will be born anew.
a mermaid swimming through the ethereal waters of her soul.
Rising up,
up,
up
breaking the surface
to drink her first
sweet sip of salty air...
searching for the land
she once remembered
in a time now lost.
when you meet me...
tell me that my arms are as vast as the horizon,
that they are the very water you breathe
holding you through all your waves and ire.
when you meet me...
tell me that my eyes are like the night sky,
that their depth holds the whole universe
within a twinkling facade.
when you meet me...
when you meet me...
when you meet me...
