for brittle words break away
like sand dunes punctured by rolling tides;
cascading grey waves like hands
gesturing the sight of you before me
like an amber glow
and but words only tell like soothsayers,
futures made as sandcastles
barricaded by moats where we dug
our hands like nails to your back;
promises of fate read like
the lines of your hand,
foot trails, & flaked tea leaves
(changing colour seasonally, like your eyes)
that our paths may cross like a hidden treasure,
and a prayer to a man who'd give it all
for your heart like a transplant;
growing fruitfully among my walk
like a bird of prey
so if my words ever fall upon deaf ears,
let the smile that stretches infinite
as the ember of my soul -
for the heartwood of yours -
whisper lullabies like vibrant heartbeats
and bring these words to life,
in the scattered rose-petal bed
where you lay
your beautiful face to sleep
and let my hands speak, soft
like the trickling of rain,
of the poetry
you are filled with
