He was desert.
I, so thirsty, swallowed sand
Until I mummified.
He was iceberg.
I, so frozen, craved his warmth
Til all was numb inside.
Then You walked by –
Waterfalls and rip-tide seas
That made these cracked lips burn.
Summer Sunburst
Melted rivers, carved new clefts,
Uncovered long-dead urns.
And oh! the pain
As figments of sandcastles
Collapsed beneath my toes.
And oh! the ache
As Light revealed the chaos
I’d buried deep with snow.
You are water.
I, so thirsty, drink You in,
Til my cup overflows.
You are Sunshine.
I, so frozen, snuggle deep,
And Your arms hold me close.
Meanwhile, Melody Muses...
