i stand at the shore
waiting for your waves to rush up
to love me
you tell me to be careful
because sometimes your floods
are unpredictable, sometimes you worry
that you will become a tsunami
unable to control the path of your destruction
i'm not cautious
i want you
and all of your storms
because i look at you
the reflection of the sky
shimmering on your skin
you are ethereal
and your lips taste like salt
you are a beautiful ocean and i have always
loved deep water
i stand at the shore
waiting for high tide, for you
to fold me into your embrace
