Blue, Like the Sea

Blue

you see me floating
away from you

you know
you know me raw and inside out
you know you’re losing me.

the tide is pulling
the sand from my feet
I go out deeper, I tread water
pretending
I am not the wave
to pound you to the rocks.

my eyes
            the ones you thought were grey at first
            so many lives ago
my eyes are Blue, dear,
like the sea
and all my sins and shames
are floating clear
they tell on me a thousand times a day

but you know me
safer not to swim in them
but kiss my neck
and smell my salty hair
like it’s something
you’ll want to remember.

Thrilled this poem got published in Adelaide Lit Journal, May 2018!

    I write and perform poetry.  I have been published on many websites and print publications at various times throughout my life. I live in NYC where I also create as an actor. Acting makes me forget that I'm a poet for long stretches of time.  But I mean to work on that here: I'll be posting old poems, new poems, and everything in between. Thanks for visiting.  Enjoy!
