Poems
Feb 2013
You are
a crest of brittle, foaming sea,
a wave that crashes over me;
divided with uncertainty,
You fight yourself so mirthlessly.
no burden to my heart, you see,
Your smile causes it to bleed
and pulse and beat, in quickening,
a rhythmic lift so heavenly.
an ocean where the neurons breathe,
and sifting me so perfectly,
like sands across the jagged reefs,
bending back, and cleansing, me.
Edited 6/26/15:
L3: "splitting" changed to "divided"
L4, 6: I also changed some capitalization to create some thematic clarity, since the title is like a universal prefix for almost all of the lines.
