I drown in quiet of you

Not for the sake

of silence

But for the undertow

a ravishing conception

of time and tide

Churning and twisting

within my lungs

every heartbeat pulsing

And riotous currents

of unspent breath

are raging from my lips

Your innocence devoured

as I taste your rapturous delights

and saccharine tomorrows

before I plunder you

and capsize in joy

As the dark of the moon

ebbs syncopated redemption

of righteous love

and I melt in your embrace

A scorching incandescence

that anchors me

to shore
