I know this seems long...but its worth reading :)
As the silver moon and soothing ocean kiss in the silent night,
The white lantern gazes over its imperfect light,
Calming the ocean with its dusty glow.
The moon’s silver fingers stretch down low,
Yearning to graze the restless sea,
Each trembling wave retreating from the moon’s tenderness unwillingly,
Forming dangerous swells in a desperate tune ,
That will never be high enough to reach the moon.
When the seemingly endless void overpowers them,
They wonder if they'll ever see each other again,
If they will ever be
Forever and always.
They say I’m forever the pearl of the dark skies,
But sometimes I am a distant, long‑forgotten stone.
My face is speckled with grey imperfections,
Every dent etched into my white mask.
In this timeless void, all I can see is my fragmented light.
But it shines back at me,
Glittering a truth I pretend isn’t mine.
The restless sea gathers every shard,
Holding my broken brilliance into its navy cradle,
As salt softens what once felt sharp,
Turning it into glowing treasure.
She teaches me
Ruin can be remade into wonder
As she guides me into the light.
As she guides me into the light,
Secrets spill and scatter on the surface
Of my cold, staggered breaths.
With her bright presence in the darkness,
She sees how I’m not just an ocean
But a silent chest of sadness and grief.
Her silver soul
Releases the darkness from my chest.
Her perfect grey eyes shine
Through my blue ups and downs and reveals
My love and tears.
She promises me that she will be my chest
And will hide my own painful memories.
Her soothing whispers calm my violent angers,
Letting me know that we will overcome the darkness
Together.
Together.
In the inky void it is only us - together,
Two drifting shapes destined to be with the dark.
As you tango through the night, I pull you closer,
Only to watch you slip away from my silent force,
Like toxic smoke escaping cupped hands.
Crumbles of my white mask fall into your dark secrets,
Each piece of me sinking willingly,
Drowning my pretence
Until my heart glows bare and trembling.
I just wish the distance between us wasn't stitched in stars,
Wish the universe would bend
Just once,
So I could comfort myself in your dark secrets.
I didn’t know how deep I could drown,
Until I met you.
I’m glad to have you but
I wish we could be more.
I wish we could be more
Than together but not,
In temporary darkness
So close, yet so far.
I'd give up the clouds, air, sun
If that meant I could keep
the pearl of the night
In the taunting, burning sunlight too.
Her silver body holds up the broken world
Closing in on me,
But without her
The world sinks in my heavy waters.
My waves crash rhythmically,
Like the ticks of a clock
Ticking away hours, minutes, seconds before
Our moments together become another miserable memory.
Our moments together become another miserable memory,
A memory that stains my cracked skin,
Until I see your deep blue eyes again.
Ticks of a clock ring in my ears,
Reminding me that we will be torn apart.
Every day is a cycle,
That I suffer though without any hesitation
Because I know I'll eventually be able
To feel your warmth,
To hear you crash,
To see your marvels.
I guide your tides,
You know my heart,
And though we must always dwell apart,
I will keep wishing upon the stars around us,
Never forgetting you.
Never forgetting you,
I mourn your silver chariot,
On moonless nights when I’m swallow by the darkness
Alone.
Without her the stars weep and falter
Joining me in relentless grief-
Distorting the night into unbearable hush of dullness.
My deep swells stir in savage anger, pain, guilt:
Spitting in fury at destiny
Drowning myself in unspoken truths.
Yet even as I spiral in my own darkness,
Your frail hand shimmers in the distance
Letting me know that
You will be there for me,
A quiet promise always carved into the night.
As the sun’s golden swords fall from high,
The weary moon begins to die.
Each second apart a blade to her silver soul,
While the ocean below slowly loses her control.
Fiery claws tear through her rising swells
Forcing the two to say their farewells,
Darkness seeping back into the oceans hidden chest,
And drowning her in words that cannot be confessed.
Yet even as the sun severs their invisible string with its glow
And further and further apart they grow,
They whisper through the ache
Knowing that although their hearts must break
They will remain
Forever and always.
