It lies within the gentle rifts of
Silent ebbing tides, among the
Steady shores and supple stars tonight;
where he awaits, a single soul,
before the placid sea, beneath
the quiet blessings of this
slivered moon. And in a voiceless
vigil, he stands before these waves,
and offers unto them his heart, tenderly
away. And as the supple rays of light
beat on, so she blossoms forth, from the
foam and kelp, with naught but a word
~ of “love.”~. “Skye” he calls to her, his dawn;
Twined of white waves and lavender.
And as the crescent wanes, before her
he descends, presses forth his aching
lips against her softened hands; rises
forth to her eyes, and kisses her again.
She grasps the dapple pearl, a pendant
which marks these hearts entwined, and gazes
at him raptured, these lovers beneath
the light. Yet the moon now fades, and so
they part with yearn, but promise beneath
the moonlit night, forever, to return.
