As the light dims across an evening ocean
I see red and your burning eyes.
And though darkness as fell between us
the night burns in my palms.
As it once did in my shadow eyes
that search the evening tide.
I fell into that moment like morning falls into
afternoon, embracing what is unknown.
A powdery moon upon a blue sky
longing for what is untaught.
Your love, or was it only mine
suspended between two stars.
As the light dims across an evening ocean
I reach out but you are no-longer there.
And now I walk waste high into the swell
knowing that my solitude lays heavy in the sand.
The seabirds peck at the stars, and I stand in
darkness until a part of the oceans crust.
