within me now new tides arise

the swelling H20 of your love surmised

before the dawn i dreamed of blue

and turquoise ways of showing you

how even rolling words like thunder

cast away as men in wonder

cannot toss or turn my boat

as in your embrace i float

dreaming darkly of your deep breathing

the ocean of you whose depth delivers

the beckoning waves of great lakes heaving

the invitation of all your rivers

feeling now your ebb and flow

your rise and fall in waves

the tsunami of all that comes and goes

only you this body craves

listening to your fluent mystic

your vast and wet and deep within

gazing at you i neither speak nor risk it

disturbing the surface of your skin

not with sounds of the softest glancing breeze

not with ripples from the lightest pebble touch

not even misting silent words as these

for here even sighing is too much

beside your quiet dark and deep, your lovely morning dew

quenching my heart's thirst, glistening too bright to miss

within me now the fluid warmth of you

the moist promise of your kiss

within me now your silent ways

your secret safe at centre

your open locks and hidden bays

only with reverence will i enter

boldened by your sleeping calm

i want to scoop you up

stir you for some fun

yet holding back my thirsting palm

it is enough to fill my cup

knowing your rivers run

so i laid there quietly by your side

on the velvet beach of your closed eyes

basking in the sunshine of love's cry

comforted by your morning tide

with sea foam thoughts

of azure feelings

finally I arose

and with you in my soul

got my punk ass out of bed
