I thought I knew

I'd really like to see what readers will take from this on their own.

I thought I knew.
I thought I knew everything there was to know about the tide beneath my bones. It rises, it falls. It rises, it falls once more. Some days, if I am lucky, the tide just barely reaches my rib-cage and dances lightly on my heart. A rarity it may be, but it is a most memorable sensation. This sensation can't be found even in the sweetest of dreams, the brightest of days, or in the hands of a stranger. I thought I knew it all, I really did. I thought I had felt all there was to feel. I thought I was living...

I thought I knew life until I found myself wishing I could dissolve into your arms deep in the blackest of nights. I wished that I could sink into you, as transparently as a ghost. 

I thought I knew reality until you turned my mouth to glass. Your kisses so fragile I thought my face would shatter, if you stopped a second too soon. My face turned back to sand beneath your hands. And my lips were the hottest shards of malleable metal you'd ever discover bending and twisting at your lead.

I thought I knew redemption until your eyes rested on my soul and forgave every sin I had ever been guilty of. They were falling onto me like rays of my own God's benediction. I was new again, I was whole.

I thought I could write works or art, until you spoke in poetry. I thought I had captured the words, but then you said my name. 

I thought I knew music, until you laughed. I thought I knew happiness, until you smiled. I thought I knew Heaven, until you came around. I thought I knew love until I met you.
