Jarred by your breath–
by the water from your lips.
Your gravity shackles me,
orchestrating the swells
that thrash in my dreams.
Incomparable in soul.
Breaking me.
There is no divide of oceans,
and no separation of hand.
We belong mended–
a perfect mold in this life.
Wandering past poverty,
and breaking through storms.
I am a child inside your callings.
You bring me back to where I belong.
Magic forges our bottle.
Sealed by our unbreakable,
and loving bond.

Love the flow in such a small space. The layered depth in here is difficult to convey for a piece three times it’s length, yet what a wonderful job you did here, again in such a small place. Concise with out imagery sacrifice. Thanks for sharing
Jessica says
Thank you! I am honored you enjoyed it. π
C Rose says
A great intensity expressed here, I found it quite touching
“Wandering past poverty,
and breaking through storms.
I am a child inside your callings.
You bring me back to where I belong.”
Absolutely got me with that stanza, beautiful! ~ Rose
