"Was it the iris in your heart or was it the whale in my soul?
I thought we were meant to be." ~ the poet
balmy winds stroke my cheeks
soft hands and calloused fingertips
dance their way around my face
tired eyes flutter shut. I feel
waves of oceans with steady currents
a brilliant sun and lemon sand
key lime moss adorning an unbounded shoreline
reflected in coconut pupils,
they are just for you and just for me
when summer is gone,
your touch will not fade
I am the sculpture you pressed life into
the vacant canvas you dyed mulberry blue
though your breaths might,
that love will not falter
and to the young girl who fell asleep counting the stars in your tears,
there will
always be an us
always... be
an us.
