unknowingly
with all fervor and
desire
i have become the ocean
where i let your
sand play on my
wide shore
i have become the
waters that bathe
and wash your
feet at night

unknowingly
with all grace and
simplicity
you have carved
a heart
out of my stones
you have created
a dream
out of my life

and between
your rivers and
my reveries
lie the leaves
that have fallen
as my soul hastened
to your embrace

a steady, fiery
hunger that
started when
and ends never.
