To Be Heard
As I approached, her siren song swept my soul
Glances and quick remarks lade our dialog
Clocks wound in our pool of dispute but her tone was cool
I tested the water, tepid and calm, undisturbed untrodden
Hesitant was she to dive
Dismay of the deep kept her from breaching even the surface
I kept my desires at bay
The miles of shoreline binding us decayed
And the tailwinds of emotion thrust us ever closer
We neared the verge of culmination
Masts clashed with hulls and sails
Uncharted bodies of water were traveled
We delved into unusual reflex
The sensations quenched the droughts we never knew existed
Baneful beauty was her stimulant, how her current drew me in
We reigned upon one another
Bodies surging and swelling
Waves wore on shores of skin
Peninsulas of flesh, oceans of love
Tides coiled and crest
But breakers broke and convolution coiled as her point of view quenched my fleeting soul
Then arrived the bashful storm
It crept from the very winds that shaped our adventure
Now it would cast our infatuation into a sea of hesitation
We trashed but couldn't keep afloat
Warily I waited, vigilant yet phobic
The atmosphere blackened and now longing would reign
Bolts of retrospection endure to strike my minds eye
The skyfull static still jars my delusions
Less recurring but willful and sturdy
My shoal is stagnant but depthless is my current
And ceaseless is my languish
