I am standing
At the edge
Of the ocean
Between us
I have spent months
Shouting into the wind
Hammering my fists
Against the stubborn void
Cursing this monstrous sea
And even though
All it takes
Is the slow
Closing
Of my eyes
To feel your fingertips
Brush up my arm
Touch my lips
Slip inside
In a kind of
Ritual joining
My mouth
Your hand
Today
I want
More
Than magic
I want
More than
Lyrical
Incantations
Spells
From ancient tomes
Magic elixirs
Voodoo
So today
I am whispering
Words of love
Into the wind
That whips
Around me
Salt water
From sea spray,
And my eyes,
Covers my cheeks
And still love
Pours from my lips
My hands ache
From the cold
My lips stiff
And blue
And still
My love
Pours forth
Manic girl
I am in a panic
Of need and want
And emptiness,
Until I hear
You whisper back
Feel your finger
Trace my tears
Scoop their
Heat up
With the
Tip of your tongue
It is still magic
But it is our magic
And it is enough
For today
