Oceanic Heart
Rose petal and gemstone lace my tongue
as steam perfumes and pierces the fragile
wet cloth that is skin.
meld; pieces of a rock separated only to
rediscover each other under white wine moonlight.
Sage smoke and pink salt
rise with my reveries. The aftermath
lies in delicate ash.
Woven textile; rogue lip yarn and
cloud ivory. Rough wave
massages my feet. Mermaid kiss
cherry candle. I, lost between
sunset and sunrise drinking down the secrets of your
oceanic heart.

An elemental poem that felt like an ocean wave! I loved this line: ‘I, lost between sunset and sunrise drinking down the secrets of your oceanic heart.’!

Another lovely piece. I always love how you describe things in a way that lets me imagine touch and scent, too. I’m not sure if that’s intentional but I love it!
