WHERE THE WILD WAVES

WHERE THE WILD WAVES

Where the wild waves crashed
I saw you, standing upright
Blond long manes, proud lion
Arms stretched and face lit
by sun 

I stopped, couldn't breathe
Constricted, no voice, no sound
Mesmerized, absorbing your
strange beauty, unworldly
attraction

You turned with eyes closed
Wind lifting that silky shirt
You ran and jumped and 
I caught you and whirled you 
around

What did I do to have you
In my life, where did you
come from, incoherent thinking
while I kiss you, won't let go
Not ever
