islands

five days, underwater, near your island, off the coast, i know, five ways, you were my lover, incantation, off the tide, in rhyme, oh, what if the whole world finds you waiting, oh, as it can so long now have, oh, i thought you knew that i'd be coming, the way you move, a foreign groove, at night, i could never, i could never hold you, watch it rise and where you hide your pearl, feel the tide low where you cast those stones you wear, when no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones, all the years i miss your warmth, have you missed my warmth?, on your island
