To See the Sea

Through the crowds and traffics
Rumors about how to get near you 
like waves after waves

Hope to come closer 
to hear you breathing
to see you streaking in the sun
Your body is gleamed with silver
like countless fish scales dancing around
Boats and nets are on the shore
eyes wide open, irresistible to 
your fatal attraction

You are a thick book
full of memories of the rocks
and a pearl’s spoony waiting days
Tides come and go
whispering shallow songs

Time is the anchovies in your embrace
shaking out a salty taste
