You Sitting Next To Me

Ocean waves crash against the seashore 
you inhale and suddenly you are no more 
than a hint of spice on a hot summer day
Water droplets mingle with the salty smell
of the sea, ... you are sitting next to me. 

Reflections of our yesterdays come together 
tethering nicely like an old knitted sweater
Blanketed moments of us nothing else exists 
except the salt, the sea, the air we breathe  
and thoughts of you, sitting next to me. 
 
With great density we dip inside the waters of life   
only to burst forth, almost touching  eternity...

The shimmering moon bids us hello, leaving behind 
an endless thrilling after glow. 
Murmurings from mermaids at sea put us in a 
drunken state. .. 

Together drawn to the secrets of the night,  
we sit side by side watching the deep blue sea
I watching you, and you watching me...
