...I've never been one
for casual encounters
and I can't hide my need
for two hearts that bleed
with burning love
Like Romeo and Juliet
Tristan and Isolde
Selene and Endymion
Alexander and Hephaisteion
I'll take to the waves
and toss the weight
like deep stones
into the vast cerulean
struggling to place
the beating red
back in my chest
it hurts
and I'm tempted
to drop it into the sea
to join the rest at the bottom
where it will dim
and echo my name...
