you are an ocean

freckles color your face

like. jagged. rocks.

protecting the sea of green and blue

swirling in your eyes:

hushed waves calling—“tame me”

yet a softness unknown to the ocean

before lies underneath

my finger sails between the rocks

carefully navigating across

your

face

gliding along... the outline of your nose

and

docking at your lips.

every inch of you feels as

expansive and beautiful as

the ocean;

and my heart longs to voyage

and discover the

mysteries

lying beneath your surface...
