Veil

Impossible!-
Improbable for me to feel like this;
My heart beating so fast
When I see you flash a quick hello.
Sunlight fades into sadness,
Dropping my spirit from heaven.
It is in the dregs of bitterness,
Scalding energy gliding down my throat,
In a drink black as night,
I am close to you once again.
Wishing to see you with my own eyes,
I have waited with them closed,
My mouth bound tightly shut,
Biding my time until I am resurrected-
Yet you have run into the shadow
Rushing like a proud river
I fear I will never catch up to.
Still I try to close the gap,
Easing you into my caress,
My voice sings after your footsteps.
Echoes serve to ensnare my prey
As you thrash wildly upon the rocks,
Breaking your body against
Immovable avarice and thoughtlessness.
Slinking over your back,
My hand slides over your shoulder-
A firm gentle reassurance,
And as I embrace you I pull skyward.
Rise above it all with me.
I know you refuse to let go
Of the ground which comforts you,
But you also have something of mine
Which I know I can never take from you:
A beacon that beckons me near
My heart is one with the raging tide.
