once again I am summoned to the irrisistable beat of your love drums.

I go in circles.

no man's land

one oar in the sea and the other pointed at the ocean.

lost in the midst of wanting and understanding

I like the circle best as it bodes closer to you my love
and less as I further away my back to you.

I am here.

you are not.

I cant come.

you will not.

what am I to do when you make my heart dance so beautifully?

what life is there without our symphony?

waves of love crash the shore with no one to greet them.

I stare into the depths of the ocean.

a marbled reflection.

a contemplation.

no man is an island.

an assurance.

you pull me in to shore just out of reach

and you keep walking down the shoreline

do you know my heart goes with you?

and all I can do is circle it from afar
as I push myself out into the ocean once again I know,

you will do what a gentleman does,

give my heart back, and in doing so

never from you will it part.

I float in circles,

trying to dance while I hear the beat of your drums

in an unsteady vessel,

half full, half empty of love.
