To be the calm inside
a shell as you hold it close
to your ear - the hush
that steals you away, breathing
stillness into the careworn
chambers of your heart.
Or perhaps to be the coral blush
within - so like a sunset -
that could guide your sight
and your mind to softer thoughts.
Could I be even that much
for you?
You try to hide
your grimace as you resist
the tide that sighs
Everything is lost, everything
flies away from you.
The pearls in your eyes
tell me you almost believe this.
Take me in your hands like a shell. Look
Listen. Stand on this shore, stay
in this moment with me when
your deepest desires don't have to speak
in whispers anymore...
