you are the sand, the shore,
stretched thin across my coast.
the crowds gather to your voice,
and favorite desert creatues
bow down to worship their king.
i swim in the never ending sea
fins crystalized - green seaweed.
i look up through deep azul,
and watch my waves brushing you.
are you aware of how much i long to be
part of your world?
pretty queens and flowers gather to you
and step out onto your golden sand.
they flaunt jewels and candy covered lies.
when all they see is rich land,
my island eyes stare from miles away,
i know the difference in the man.
if i washed up on your city limits,
my ocean foam would call me home.
but i would stay on the sand,
if it meant that you weren't alone.
it'll take a lifetime, but i have to say
you are the one.
