Waterfalls and Daydreams

Water in a bay of dreams,

Fish gliding gracefully,

Inside nature's heart,

Seeing her for the first time,

Pure as the world around us,

I come here to think,

But this day I am not alone,

He watches me from the sandy bank,

Why does he watch me so?

Yet he keeps on smiling,

Beaming from ear to ear,

He's beautiful in every way,

Even from the way air leaves his lungs,

To his smile upon his lips,

Every part of him is pure,

His heart has scars,

Scars of a warrior who has engaged in battle,

He shows his fear but wishes to learn from it,

I cannot help but feel the way I feel,

Not wanting for this moment to change,

Smiling he dives into the water,

Bringing my legs out from under me carries me,

He says the water and him are carrying me,

Not ever going to let me fall,

I have loved him once,

He went away to war,

Returned in due time,

I was heartbroken when he didn't reappear,

He has come back once again,

Does he know I'm falling?

Falling all over again,

I'm not afraid to fall this time,

Diving back into the water I go under the falls,

I watch him as he plays like a child in the water surrounding us,

I can't help but laugh at him,

I lie back on the rocks as the sun hits my skin,

He stops to stare once again,

Slowly he swims through the tears of water,

Propping himself up onto his elbows he smiles,

I see you, I say to him,

Carefully, his hand slides up my chest,

I breathe ever so slowly as if taking in a scent,

Intoxicated by the very existence that is him,

Such a soft and tender touch upon my skin,

The rays of sunlight shimmer against us,

Shining bright as a diamond,

He stops resting his hand on my cheek,

I nestle myself towards his touch,

I do not know what I am to do,

I don't want this moment in time to end,

Even if the sun is to set I do not wish it to be so,

Sister Moon sleep much longer this night,

I say in silent prayer,

Why do I feel as if this may be the last time I see you,

I flinch turning my head away,

He turns me back to him with tenderness in his eyes,

Do you see me as I see you?

We both share scars from our wars,

I do not mind the scars I have seen for I to have them,

I look down biting my lip,

He smiles trying to get me to laugh,

Do not show your fear,

Be brave,

I let myself roll off the rocks,

Diving under to touch the sandy bottom beneath,

I arise behind him latching myself to him,

He carries me,

I am like a baby monkey clinging to that of its mother,

He twirls himself around in the water,

As if trying to see where it was I have gone,

Childishly, I place a kiss on his cheek,

Lying back against the waves he pulls me towards him,

His hands running up my thighs to the small of my back,

He breathes slower,

Closing my eyes I caress my nose against his face,

Ear, to cheek, to eyes, to nose, to cheek, and ear,

He swallows hard at the movement of my touch,

I can feel his heart beating ever so fast,

As if keeping in time with that of my own,

Please don't stop, I silently say,

His hands run back from my back to my shoulders,

Around us, the water carries us above her,

Cradling us in her heart of water,

We remain favored by her,

Childishly, I brush my nose up against his,

He holds close to the sternness of his chest,

What does he wish to shield me from?

I am not harmed,

He wishes to keep me safe, I think,

A pure spirit brought us back,

Does this spirit wish to see its blessing through?

It is known by those who have come before us,

That the spirits guide us together and apart,

Pray a prayer spoken by the thousands,

Yet here we are encased by the water,

Wrapped in an eternal hug of everlasting warmth,

I let go climbing back onto the rocks,

I want to shiver but he does not allow it,

Laying back he holds me in his arms,

Two mistreated souls,

Tattered, tortured, and bruised,

I roll over to face him,

Wiping away the waters tears from his face,

I do not fear you,

You are kind and gentle,

I will not let harm befall unto you,

Why do you stare?

What is there to see in me?

He smiles shaking his head pulling me more towards him,

Even amid the water falling against the rocks,

His heart beats louder than ever,

We are surrounded by daydreams,

Maybe someday they'll become a reality.
