Yesterday
I stripped naked
To wade
Into the sea
Hoping
My life
Would satiate
And she
Would spare you
And take me
But eventually
I washed up to shore
Eyes fight through the burn
To open
To search
But you were
No more
Collapse
Fight
Scream
Anything
To convince
Time
To give you back
To me
Back to the lush forest
Staring at the sea
Turn back to the lush forest
Where your laughter echoes
From every tree
Embrace of your palm
In the veins
Of a fig leaf
Silk of your skin
In the moss
Of a rock
Resting by the stream
Mist clings to my face
Befriends
The tears
These years
Cannot erase
Neck bristles
And the warm prickle
Of sun pierced through
Thick canopy
To whisper in my ear
I am here
All around
I am Love
And I am always holding
You
