love

the deep forest
of my mind
is a cool reality
sewn deep

the stitches
of my soul
are reckonings
bound tight

the thoughtfulness
of my heart
is a rare treasure
amongst tokens

the many lovers
of my tongue
are endless flowers
bleeding love

the ocean

the thin line
between love and hate
pleasure and pain
exists with courage and fear

water grips my soul
the swell fills my eyes
marked anticipation strengthens
yet, I still love you
