Offshore

Your skin shaded in navy,
You were a starless sky hovering above me,
You were a moonless night,
With eyes too dark to reflect the ocean which stirred beneath you:
A passive tide.


I swallowed your breath
But something so empty could not make me feel whole.
Your tongue left me thirsty
Your hands left me cold.

Something so empty,
Could not make me feel whole.

  1. I feel that this poem is very strong.I like the descriptions and the use of certain words, but I wish it would be a bit longer and not so straight to the point.

  2. this poem was really strong and passionate. The descriptiveness is what really makes it interesting. I think alot of people can relate to this poem.
