Poem 1: Closer

Your Closer has cast me Far and Away.

Far away— i am I,

in a sea of Far Blue.

Nearer I’ve drowned to swim Closer to you

You cast a fish net: so to save but 1 heart.

Do my 2 broken fins, swim too far apart?

We part. So we part. My Ariel heart.

Poem 2: MAHAL, Lia.

Always so far, my veins to my heart.

Alone i am I, but then I am You.

I spiral in the dark like a centrifuge.

I whirl around and around in your ocean of blue.

Blue oceans turn Black, without all the stars.

So I drift by myself in this vast Ocean Blue, without the Boat and home that is you.

Poem 3: Blanco

Now breathe, I am free.

From an ocean of Blue

In the ocean of You: in my ocean of blue.

You are the lyric to every rhyme. How’s that?
