These are not
Dark,lonely waters
I swim within
All you need do
Is step from shore
To water
This is my kingdom
As you would the forest
Where ancient trees breathed
Out their wisdom
Let me soak you
In my love
My hands keep you afloat
I would breathe into you
If your air ran out
If I took it from you
I would return it
Tenfold
Let me kiss away
The loneliness
Here, you are safe
To feel
All that is within you
Without apology
Or explanation
I understand you
Beautiful in your complexities
Fierce in your need
So adept at hiding it
That you struggle to deal
When it roars up inside you
But I know what to soothe
And what to smack
So step into the water
I am there,
Glistening and precious
As treasure.
