“you think with your heart”

like warm rays your words trailed the goose bumps on my skin

You have always said that of me.

You with your unnerving Soul and tender gazes

“..and you with your mind.”

You sat watching the ocean as a boy

And let it settle in the black of your eyes

With a heart so wide open,

It left insensitive hands to leave footprints upon it


You said thunderstorms reminded you of our love

All the force of lightening

all the softness of rain

you said you had stood still

for years

by that ocean,

this was the first time since then,

you shifted.
