you were built to part the ocean
with your golden skin
you stopped walls from crumbling
and there, under this ancient bridge
you understood me.
i was drawn slowly through your tides
but i wanted to fold into your ocean,
and you came back to me:
on a shimmer moon
as a black hopeful rose,
in dreams.
you were the softer one.
and i only wanted to
melt into your ocean.
you came back to me in my dreams
and with your smile
like the sea and the canal
my whole body opened

but i wanted to fold into your ocean,
and you came back to me:

you were the softer one.
and i only wanted to
melt into your ocean.
you came back to me in my dreams
and with your smile
like the sea and the canal
my whole body opened
