turquoise.

your eyes hoist ripples of sound from my voice;

it's the sweetest thought to know I am your choice.

your body emerges like
a stream out of the seam of the sea.

Emerging from the ocean

you give me a vague notion

I have all ready known this.
your name; it travels to me:

skipping over continents
connecting love with constant.

Peel open new words
as they paint sentences around themselves.
I have
some stories,
a life,
some laughs to share with you
before they're placed back on their shelves.

But then I remember a sea breeze is just a tease.
Feeling the Sun give the Earth a tan,
standing in ocean damp sand,
is what brings my life ease,
dropping me to my knees for peace.
