Shadoworlds

[Guest guest]

Release me from my Poet's heart,

my Darling,

 

I cannot stay this near and be so

far away

 

I cannot hold you and let you go

with the same hands,

 

I am incarcerated in time and distance,

and you and I,

 

wet wilderness to an open sky and

frothy dialogue of moon to

rising sea

 

only the night air

lingers now

 

as our shadows gather

beyond the stars,

break waves.
