Ocean Slumber

The rush through my veins 

As blood courses to my brain,

It does pain me so to feel

The tightening of my chest...

Another ache sprouts

From the core of this body.

It takes another form

To torment me as I

Sleeplessly lie in the darkness

Of this world of mine...

It sprung from an image –

A thought of you that passed

Through my head and heart –

For that is where you slumber…

But this need –

The hunger – takes over

Every cell of my body…

It revives you once more

To gobble you down.

Satisfied, yet frustrated,

I lie as I drown in the deep

Velvet sky under my head,

With clouds of air

To soothe my furrow,

And under its touch

I release my senses

To the ocean’s depths…
