The thoughts and sounds of you are endlessly seamless
My earthen banks collapsing against you the cutting river
Flowing slowly with tinkling sounds of ice cubes stirring bubbles
I cannot quit myself thinking of you even though ahead I see your falls
And as you flow by my shores I crumble and collapse into you without struggle
I know good and well rivers run but one way, away with forks that cut like knives
I can’t help myself frozen; I gaze at your sparkling skin, caught staring I cannot blink
The glimmerings of reflection of the sun on your watery skin also cause me to think
You’re flowing away; towards a new sunrise, not giving thought to what’s left behind
Even as part of me has drown deep inside of you, I still see you under tin foil sunny skies
These particles of me flowing downstream toward the lakes where your love will reside
Wishing I was that body of water that kisses your open mouth, empting into still waters
Do you know that changing your direction takes parts of me; leaving most of me behind?
Me my arms so strong, I can hold all of you, but not strong enough to change your mind
I stay here and fear I must watch your flowing spray fly into my face again tomorrow
Taking little parts of me, cutting my shores, not caring, crumbling endlessly, seamlessly
Like a river running away from a setting sky
