Humming in my heart
a thrumming deepness
releasing from your chest--
my ear resolutely against it.
Call me beautiful one last time,
attractive and devastatingly lonely.
Whatever it is you see, tell me
everything.
To break my fragile bones
inside the chaos of your world.
Your rumbling voice, your careless
hands and ocean eyes--that is all I
wish for.
That,
and a kiss
from half a
world away,
the stars
pushing softly
against it--
our lips scintillating
through the
power between
us, between
the ocean,
between
anything that
makes me think
of you.
(which,
of course,
is almost
everything.)
