The Sea of You

 


Light now fading
cold invading
diving deep
in the sea of you

Coal and pressure
emerging
in the purity of form

The diamond of your soul
illuminating
life

chasing dreams
rising from the depths
seeking the facets 
of your being

A seashell held to the ear
sings of faith
and promises clues

cold pervades
darkness dissuades

where love begin to fail

Memories are the crucible
in ocean depths

our coal under pressure
coalescing as
diamonds 

taking deep breath 
swimming
through the sea of you

Knife Fight! (written 12/29/23)

  Knife fight! Words that cut stab and trust Twisting the blade in rage A lifetime of puckered scars Don't bring a knife to a gun fight Gun barrel glowing red with pain Dares that end it all Armageddon with words 'I don't love you' Gotterdammerung of the soul
