Wave


 A wave so elegant,

Latching on to every part of me,

Mind, body and soul.

            A wave starring into every corner

Of my pupils, endless Caribbean green

That would leave any man who gazes,

Lost at sea.

            A wave choreographing

Me in every direction.

Feet stepping in gravity,

Twist of fate, suffocation dips,

A vigorous tube launches me back to shore.

            A wave ripples horizontally,

A flirtatious smirk expanding from

East to West coast,

A teenager playing truth or dare

I’m tempted to taste the sea salt once more.

            Sun silk sand piling over my feet,

Reminiscing of the journey that lead to this moment.

A promising wave inviting, a push and pull effect.

My soul dives heart first.
