Weightless

Lemon rind smile and three winks to the moon brings us right here where we stand today On the ocean floor with flowing hair and salty eyes watching the fish watch us in wonderment and brine And we hold hands still. Bubbles blowing up into the light catching blue sky and jellyfish stings in it's skin And I'm watching you with the sleepy peace that the green undercurrents of cool water bring Perhaps we will stand on weightless feet forever Perhaps that's what love is. I watch as you pinch the tail of a yellow tang pointy nose and big eye glance of shyness in your direction Never a peace like water affords was found before the bliss of love Not being "in love". Not the new, heart gruelling territorial mapping foot stomping dancing in moon tears while you fly with undisclosed wings type of love, but solid, grounded, swim to the depths of despair and meet me there to smooth my hair and break my fall type of love. Three winks to the moon and a lemon rind smile get you there. Bitter taste in a kiss with no thought to ever leaving. You are my ocean and I am the salt which makes you buoyant and free Perhaps that's what love is.
