Darker The Waves Now

I gathered you from the absence of night.
In thickets of sorrow,
Among branches of bile taste
That surrounded your flight.

I melted in your sweetness, your sister sea.
I fathomed the depth of your ocean,
Bathed in sea spray,
And i fell inward into your darkening waves.

All at once, from the distance,
I heard the roar of sadness,
Rolling along peninsulas
That rested their tired bones around you.

I chiseled your name,
Loud and clear, along banks of beaches.
I named you my kingdom,
My mountains- i offered your eyes to see.

I gathered you words, in the daily harvest of pain.
Many times, i looked for you
In chains of passing clouds,
Memorizing pillows that travailed in my sleeps.

And more than once,
I gathered your face to kiss
As it floated by and disappeared
Among the flowering sky.
