You are like an ocean
I am intrigued by your surface
the beauty of your waves
Your calm and your strength
But I shall not fully know
the treasures below
which are the true essence of your soul
Until I dive deep beneath
Between breaths, we connect
between sighs, we linger
My fingers on your porcelain skin
slipping deeper until I melt into you
You breathe me in across the waves
Loves healing rhymes infuse my mind
with senses rich and lush
I write my hopes in ink-stained lines
And dreams of escaping someday
to snow-covered hills and blue seas
Of being carried away to heaven nightly
Between my breaths
