Three years old
Three years
Old
You would be
Three
Years
Old
And instead
Of celebrating
Three years
With you
I am swimming
Drowning
Cocooning
In a sea
Of blood
And gold
Powerful mixture
These two
Powerful
Anchor
While
Body
And soul
Ache
Search
Yearn
For you
But we don’t meet
With me
Snuggling you
To sleep
We meet
On the cliff side
My toes
Curling over the edge
My heart
Trying to befriend
The Unknown
Between us
The Unknown
That is us
Jasper
I search for you
In the icy water
Under the moon
I wander
The empty shore
Senses trained
On the waves
Looking
For a sign of you
But
You are not
Carried to me
On the waves
As a mewing
Babe
Or a child
Chasing his brother
With strengthening
Legs
You are
The sunset
Of eternity
Warming my skin
Intimate
Yet
Forever
So far
Away from me
So we sit
Here
Together
Golden glow
Painted
Against a blazing sky
Bodies
Suspended
In a perpetual
Greeting
Meeting
And a perpetual
Goodbye
