A dance of the seas

 

He doesn't see

how when she

is alone,

sometimes

she dreams of him.

How in those

waters she swims

into his arms

and he

wraps her

in his whirlpool of desire.

Twirling

majestically

in a dance of the seas.

 

He sits watching his own visions

on waves crashing behind his eyes,

but doesn’t hear the singing rhymes

swooping a cascading rhythm

in a vortex only around him.

 

She fails to notice the

longing stares, the way

his words have song

pleading with the air

to get closer to her.

The way

her memory

is always there,

a vivid glow across his mind.

A boat on an ocean wave.

 

She just sits,

letting visions flit

flirtingly across her mind.

She sometimes hides her smile

when he speaks,

hiding her longing inside.

She just wistfully twirls her hair

around fingers wishing for his

hand to join with hers.

Lost in a dream.

A place without a care.
