By Taylor Ambrosi

Clear my head

     my heart

These substances

     vacuuming every nerve

     consuming all sanity

But you

     broadcasting a peculiar palpitation

And I

     acquiesce the ambiance

     of this archaic atmosphere

You are the water

The water that refuses to stop kissing the shore

     No matter how many times it is sent away

Your warming eyes

     reflect the depths of your heart

Embracing me

     with every pore

     every touch

Every ounce of strength

you possess

     streaming words unspoken

Your lips burning bravery

     through my bruised body

My scars revealing your love

Powerfully relenting my

     every serene stroke of

     every harsh blade

Calming the storm pulsing through my veins.
