Sinking
Are these days
Of time and mist
Sinking
Are the memories
Of you and me
Long gone
Have you been
Too far to see
Time has taken you
too far from me
so far
I feel you here
In the place you occupied
So fully, completely and utterly
At first
Heart always felt empty
But you filled me up anyway
Of the magic I knew
Was real
This confirmed that it was real
Our love
Our shared light
Our missed life
Gone down with time
Into my depths
With other buried treasures
You still linger
Threads of time awaken
The smallest touch
Glimmer
You glimmer
In moments now lost
Lost at sea
My heart declares
Will you find your way home to me?
Like a sailor of old
The unknown calling you forth
Will you swim the swims I had swum?
Cliffs traversed
Storms survived
Time…
Give it all time…
The wind whispers
To this heart full of only you
Enough waiting
The island speaks
Come home for yourself
Breathe my air
Drink and eat
Riches untold
Fill up on your own love
For when that man returns
To your coastal boundaries
Never again
To riot, pillage and rape your lands
Your tides withstand
The onslaught of love
That broke your heart up
Into small shells of itself
Your island permits no man
No woman or child
This love, space and moment
Is yours
Only yours
Just yours
Can that become your enough?
He never returned
That sailor
But when I turned inwards
And found all that I would ever need, want or value
It was enough found
To satiate many lifetimes…
For I was my version of enough
I was the love that awakened
And he only glass in the sands of time
