"For Theodore"
there was lightening outside
the second time i met you
which was the first time i knew i would fall in love with you
it was far away, and silent
brightening the sky occasionally
as if to mimic the electricity being exchanged between us
oh, how often have i been touched
but never have i felt my skin sing the way it did that night
to the painted sky
never did my heart rise so far as to befriend the moon
i want to swim with you in the vastness of my body
i want to drown and die and be born again
into a world where i know only you
my heart is as relentless as the ocean
i want
i want
i want
you will be as everlasting as the shore
giving back what the ocean gives
and more
and more
and more
