Thank you for bringing me
From the shores of my mind,
Where I found you thus
Over the seas
Of tranquil nightmares
To a lagoon of resolve.
The quiet darkness
That finds me here,
In these words,
Comforts my aching mind,
Wraps me in tender caresses
Of solitude.
Your words speak moments
And eons
Of punishing, purposeful
Pain.
Your pen bleeds
To the beat of my heart,
My love.
I can hear
Its tender pleas
Of release to find
Ground again
Under its own
Darkened trysting place.
And I am here,
To worship it back
Through the waves,
To help it up over
The hard surf.
To ask it
To let me love it
As the last drops
Of this heart's precious
Life's blood
Wash clean
In the sandy foam
That is my love.
