You came from the ocean
with salt in your eyes
and damp clothing,
I came from the sand
with shells over my skin
and warmth in my touch -
and oh,
how I yearn
to feel the waves
wash over me -
and oh,
how you yearn
to stand on a million universes
and not wash away.
We belong to the tides;
where you are born
and where I crave to be
and we belong to the shore
where I stargaze
and where you yearn to run.
With every crescent wink from the sky
and every solar welcome
we are home
and we are so close to paradise -
if I could just
touch you,
everything
would join together
and I would
have a piece
of perfection.
