the saltiness of my tears
drips upon my lips and tongue
after rolling down my face
from the blandness of our love
that was a savored passion
until the dawn of heartbreak
when our portions of love changed
and love became spoiled and cold
careening through outer space
on this giant blue marble
sailing upon the waters
called the sea of discontent
when came the time of evil
the saltiness of sorrow
yet a revival of hope
and with a return to love
bring about the paradise
we have long been waiting for
date:3/17/22
awakened
by the saltiness
i felt wet memories
flowing down my cheeks
kissing my lips
teasing my tongue—
a briny tingling
that coughed up
shared cherished moments
though i miss you
how sweet it is
that dreams can release
tears of joy that grief
often seeks to dam
rest well
my sweet one—
may your spirit continue
to delight me...
Everyday is the same, drowning in my tears, pain and hurt swallow me whole
leaving nothing of me behind. I try to live my life happy but it comes out pitiful and
worthless. My eyes are constantly burning from the saltiness of my tears i cry for
you. Im tired of trying to gain your satisfaction. im done with you for good my tears
are dried up and you are nothing but a lost memory
Gemstones on a shoreline
maladjusted to the saltiness of fallen tears
basted in the din of sunbeam atoms colliding
the neap, a resting time from mortal waveforms
towed beneath the sanded plasma of sinking unblown glass
a final lash, a glinting sorrow, an eternal goodbye
so many facets unturned, a reminder of the emptiness
no shimmer on the barren plains of shore, a reflection
of the once and final aortic beat
The smell of cigarettes used to make my chest ache
and my lungs hurt
The bitterness of whiskey made my eyes tear
and my throat burn
But I have picked up the habit of smoking
when I am screaming your name so that whenever
I light up a cigarette It would make my room smell like you.
Whiskey no longer tastes bitter
It tastes sweet at first like your lips
but as I lick my lips all I can taste is the saltiness.
Perceive me through your senses,
Like God in the Old Testament.
Feel the warmth.
Enveloping, comforting your cold heart.
See the sand.
Shimmering, hypnotising you into a trance.
Hear the bubbles.
Stroking, nursing those half-open wounds.
Smell the tranquility.
Meditation, teleportation, unending calm.
Taste the saltiness.
Following, escorting you back home.
Or was the sea shore your home?
Or just a therapy you sought?
Salt of the earth
intended for flavor
Lacking in saltiness,
what’s there to savor?
No longer useful
ends in defeat
thrown out and trampled
under the feet
There for the world
shining and bright
up on a hill
out in plain sight
Not under a basket,
on a stand, before men
Reflecting His glory
not light from within
Works in your own strength:
a bit like leaven
Reflect your Father’s
glory from heaven
(from Matthew 5)
Listen to poem:
the sky abounds with stars tonight
reflections dance across the sea
from far beyond a melody
igniting thoughts of you and me
so miles apart we'd spend in flight
in eagerness to cross the sea
meanwhile distance calls in whispers sweet
and rhythmics sway as one heartbeat
moonlight sultry calls and beckons
for lovers underneath to meet
to bask in warmth and saltiness of air
arm in arm to walk for miles along the beach

The desire wells up inside me
and I feel near to bursting
my needs so close to the surface
churning with passion
this sweet hunger is all consuming
as I devour the fragrence of your flesh
the heady saltiness of lust stinging my tongue
I am the fire,
you are the oxygen that fuels the flame
forever burning on a hot bed of embers
that will never die from hunger
Oh, the sweet hunger that drives the passion
between two souls
I am drunk on your wines.
