Eternal Ocean

my heart - in pieces Over your place Of refuge - No more shame I know what it’s like You never will It is my art A youthful skill To dredge the suet under weight Of water (fate) God - death sin, father It’s pain, But still We’re charged Naked - from God remembered will Impressions on clay, We are Remember Birth, grave and scare Cold like December’s Taste on feet on floor O warmth - skin dream no more I know loneliness more than you must Like freedom’s curse and poison lust I know the dark room The wish for arms brushing my breast doing no harm in synchronized wars of will together separate thoughtful, still Of - the intriguing space (someone dreaming of your face) for nights of passion All is told, secret rations slow, unfold in arms that will not hope for more than fill, endure stand Eternal Ocean - shifting shore
