I watch the curves make their way around your body
Mesmerized by the fluidity and continuity of motion
I am as water and I can see it in you
And waters blend together so nicely
I watch the waves and the crests and the crashes
Consumed by the violence of motion
Consumed by the serenity
The curves of your body calm me
As the curve of the horizon stretching to where I yearn to be
I want to be close to you
I try to move with grace and elegance
Hypnotized by my own motion
I try to blend with the movement of my surroundings
Be as they are
I try to move with the music
Be as it is
Elegantly fierce with spontaneity
I yearn to be as water
As music
I am water in your grasp
I watch the twists and surfaces of your skin
A softness known only in dreams
I watch your figure darken and close
Against the stormy backdrop of fluidity
Becoming as it is
And I'm taken under by the crests
It's painful to look at you
But I cannot turn away
My eyes are made of water and wrap around your body
As if you were drowning
I want you to
Drowned in the liquid of my movement
Am I graceful?
Or am I inanimate to you?
You are made of motions that create an intensely calm desire
A series of waves that are endless and strong and consuming
I trickle down your cheek bones, wrap around your neck, and slide off your fingertips
I put my arms around you and burst into drops
Recomposing in puddles at your feet
Can you see your reflection?
Do you find me as beautiful as I wish you would?
Because you are so
And as crystalline water can delude the muck of puddles
Puddles would only ruin your purity
Can you catch glimpses of the sapphire fragments?
Cast and reflected by my internal waters
Hues of Amber and Topaz and Rubies
Amethysts, Emeralds
But mostly Amethysts
Lilac waters that pollinate intimacy
Do I smell of lilacs to you?
I watch the curves of my petals as they float away
Wondering if those fragrant words will make it to your shores
I am as flowers that open and close to your motions
With shades of pink across my cheeks and yellow petals in my hair
Blends of lavender and crystalline
Delicate and easily withered
Is there preservation in your waters?
There is in mine
If only you can see how my eyes look in this moment
Of reflective oceans, calm and curved and glittering
If only you could see how my chest blends into my waist into my hips
And curves down my legs
Could you recognize the beauty in my motion?
Could you find yourself consumed by the delicate arches
And softness of my exterior?
I am just as soft inside
I am as calm water that could warm you
Lucid and clear
I can wrap and twist around your shores
I try to move with grace
So that you may find yourself drowned
I try to speak fragrant words
So that you may find softness in my petals
I watch you curve as you breathe
A fluidity of motion that consumes me
A hypnotic continuity
As the horizon I yearn to be a part of
Do you have any idea how lovely you are?
