From A Dream

she is beautiful; mysterious 

she suffers and mourns, but moves in graceful waves. Dancing her pain back to the earth as she tosses her long limbs and dark hair. Speaking a language I do not understand..

he understands; dark and wise; 

I Watch

him, watching her, with a fiery gaze that could permeate any body of water. 

I See

her resist him the way I mold my feet into the sand and strengthen my connection to earth resisting the ocean’s current pulling me forward into it;
until finally, the force is too much.

I am swept beneath.

she is swept onto him. Their bodies become one.

I Feel

they weave like vines, I am one with them intertwined, We are One.

I Wake

cheeks wet, heart pounding a beat between loss and love, body shaking; 

trying to resist, and knowing we are held.
