Your Name

Your name travels through the dusk
Tender assailant, it perforates my twilight
With bow and arrow, resounds
Softly at first, then with more intensity.

I follow the sound of your voice
Its siren call
Guides me past dark crustaceans,
Infernal trenches
Towards your tidal palace of moist earth
Adorned by soft shells.

Glistening on the shore, dazzling in purity
They whisper their oceanic secret
Softly at first, then with more intensity.

The bright, maternal glow of your forehead
Stays proud and rebellious
As it is overtaken by waves
Swallowed underneath surging waters.

In our bodies is the
Perpetual somnolence of stars
As we remained nestled, arms interlaced
Enveloped by darkness,
Hearts grasping persistently

Softly at first, then with more intensity.
