Love Poem: Her Southern Cross

Her Southern Cross

...this ocean that
I drown... for in your
eyes I surrender...

do not throw me 
a life line...

for my love will I 
nestle for all time...

...this love not for tender...

...and when this soul floats
away...I will carry you...

night and day...
night and day...

I care not for any words
but for this love expression
in your eyes

this tidal wave of love
that washes over me...

...a shipwreck once more...

these crashing waves...
...this love thunder...
this silence deafens...
this world behind...

...for when I look at your
feet I see blue sky...

neath me stars hold my love
firm...

I bring her about...
into her southern cross I turn...
