Loving you

Loving you is like

dancing 'round  bonfires, bare feet;

running fingers through

the bright sunlit stream,

caressing the rain-sodden trees,

a primal instinct.

Loving you is like

walking on the warm seashore,

smiling up at downpours.

Like the joy of baltering

in muddy streets,

sweet serenity.

Sometimes I wonder how

You bestow upon me such generosity

of embracing my obsidian wills

and preserving my naivety.

Without you, my love,

I don't know what I'll be.

Maybe another Andrew

lost to the sea.

stuck underwater,

a Shakespearean tragedy.

A/N: not my best, this just came to me after an afternoon nap. It was just the first paragraph that came to my mind and then I wrote the next in two days. also, did you get the merchant of Venice reference?? If you don't know, 'Andrew' was a Spanish ship, originally called 'Andrea', captured by the British but it ran aground when being brought to England. So basically 'Andrew' refers to big cargo ships. I used this because later in the scene a shipwreck is described very realistically, almost as if you could feel the devastation. I just wanted to use that in a poem. I hope you liked this. I understand if you don't... i don't either.

PS: the painting is called 'falling man' designed by Yurii Novosad
