You were in that
deep blue
light reflecting,
skin glistening,
bioluminescent light
from beneath.
Your body traced
by rivulets
as you adjusted
your hair.
Up above,
in the sky,
nothing more
than an endless
reflection
of beauty by the sea.
Lips parted slightly,
as if tasting words
so ripe.
Hips that take the mind
and erase
the moment.
I’m there,
but some part of me
floats away,
a spiritual
out of body experience.
Your hands reach out
to find me there,
a fire,
fully involved.
Eyes like the waves
glowing with that same
strange light.
A mystery,
a door to somewhere
between forever and the sky.
Beauty by the sea,
smashed by the waves
for so long.
I’m beside myself
to find the night is still.
Crystal black ocean,
Moon and stars
alighting lines of silver
upon your skin
and I am left
inadequate
again.
You find a smile;
somehow wonderful
and terrifying
altogether,
as the night air
dries our bodies,
you don
a dress of starlight
and lunar highlights.
I return to myself
and find I’m just barely
holding on
to myself.
You’ve taken all of me.
My perfect thief,
as always,
you
draw me out
from my sleep
into your never ending dream.
