Oh! She Is Steep,

Oh! She is steep,

The kind that makes you yearn

And fearful to leap;

Because one second

She'll show worlds of looming glory,

And in another you're consumed and spent.

Almost and always

She tempts me

To be as cold as her

Winter, in all her beauty

Haunts me too

As she slowly dies with the dew

Mon vide, you are a sailor, sea-swallowed and sea-spat. Your days on ship are spent with memories of your feet in the sand, and the nights on land forget to cradle you like the sea.

Under its blaze, when the sun is as of use as its sunlight, with desparation, you want it to guide you somewhere beyond. Poor sun, when it beckons you deeper, further, all you want is for it to shine on your beloved.

There is only disdain for you here. Under the sun, you will never be satisfied.

I want to be like the tides, gentle and roaring. I would try to kiss the moon in one blink and come crashing down in another. But I am not that free. I am this little plant that seeps and stays. My smile depends upon the skies. Even if I hate to admit it, the winter solstice makes me long for warm lights.

My love was a dream

So fulfilling that after it

All reality could give

Fell short

And nothing in this empty world

Could ever hold

The serendipity

Of my humble dissociation

I came wounded

To the shore.

Sure, it was foolish,

To hope,

To be soothed,

To be cradled,

To know less aches;

Lighter on the waves.

But I was too wounded,

Abrasions and bruises.

Surprise! I dived! I cried!

It burns, even the ocean.

You are on your own

Sail wherever you like

These waves are your to tame

This spirit has always been your own to break

And when it comes, the end

Inhale this scent, this sea

Sing your swan song in ecstasy

I am him

Because like Antonio

'In sooth I know not why I am sad.'

I am weary till I am distraught,

Though my sunken ships never see the shore.

One day

Someone curious enough

Will ask me about my favourite word.

And that will be my cue

To flash a truly enigmatic smile

And somehow mumble ' might.'
