Swim With Me
Days pass without the sight of your smile.
I try to breathe
The air resonates off my breath
Searching for your lungs
Yearning to breathe into you
As the sun sets.
Your love is an ocean.
Strong, vast, endless.
Consume me like the sand and
Wash me away into the depths of your soul.
You breathe into me
As I inhale the crisp breeze, your breath
that glides off the waves of your lips
crashing into mine
leaving me gasping for more.
Let your tide pull me in
the strength of your body
embrace me
Carry me into your ocean of aspiration.
Your currents keep me alive.
Flowing through my veins,
Crashing against my heart
As I live for you in each beat.
My darling,
Your eyes are the reflection
of the glaze the sun pours out upon your blue surface.
Let me be lost
Swimming in the endless eternal love in your eyes.
For though our bodies are separated, our love is alive in each moment,
Bounding us together, inseparable by the hope in our spirits
Because I know
The sun will set once more
and even though our eyes will surrender to the dusk and perceive the new sunrise
The hue of the night that lingers,
The grace that the moon bestows upon the waves of your soul
Will keep me from drowning.
