Tsunami

A love poem for Nick; whose love was never a calm sea, but violent ocean.

Your hair
is much longer
than it was
the last time
I saw you.

But your eyes
are exactly
the same -

Soul piercing
windowpanes,
framed by
dark eyelashes.

Wave-less sea
of iced milk
expansive
and unchanging.

Featureless
gulf of white
that separates
pink corners.

Crystalline iris �"

A vortex
swirling.

Force ten
hurricane
crashing
into me.

Deep brown
tsunami.

It breaks me down
and drags me -

Helplessly
out to sea.

You �"

You were never
ripples in a stream
in which to swim in deep.

You �"

You were
a throbbing ocean,
a tidal wave to be
the death of me.

Your beauty, so immense . . .

Within such depths,
I cannot breathe.

Your hair �"

Your hair
is much longer
than it was
the last time
I saw you.

But those eyes �"

your eyes
are exactly
the same.

Hauntingly familiar.

They pull me in.

And as I look into them now,
I see the specter of
myself reflected �"

starring back at me.
