my afternoon dream.

swimming in my afternoon dream.

your wave of emotion caught me

& held me.

it cleansed my heart & untangled my

thoughts, spilling them into a million

oceans.

it felt like you opened up my soul &

placed the sun inside of me.

i’m your summers day, you’re my storm.

together we create tsunamis of

transparency,

whirlpools of urgency to be free.

chaotic & carefree under the glow of the

moon as her light heals our scars

from fragments of broken stars

that fell out of the sky the moment our

waters merged.

you are my permanent reminder of why

the sea is home to me.

you come back to me in those same

waves of emotion,

opening up new oceans that calm,

& protect me.
