Tidal

You

A faun in twilight

Immaculate perfection

I

A god in half-light

A hero in a play

Pale blue scenery

Fleeting moments passing by

Dots and anagrams

In the sands of time and the wind

Us

A monument of sand to

Defy the odds

Us

A rampart made of dreams

That would not last

So tired without you

The sultry heat of summers gone

Melted hands of time

An enigmatic poem on our skins

With each changing of the tides

We renewed a fragile bond

We were blessed and we were cursed

A gush of water swept away

All we swore and all we said

Indelibly, unspoken spells

Unbroken hours slowly passed

We are

Ghost and shadows straining to be heard

We are

Like ships and waifs waiting for the tide

We are

Surrendered to the heat, surrendered to the wait

We are

Long gone with the wind

Listless summer days

Without care of where to go

Coming back to me

Tinted moments of our luck

Though we were too weak

Wished to pause the restless clocks

To hold life for a while

The peal of bells above the rain

(Made it end)

A gush of water swept away

All we swore and all we said

Indelibly, unspoken spells

Unbroken hours slowly passed

We are

Aching whispers, windswept memories

We are

Like birds in flight sleeping on the storms

We are

Not Daphnis or not Chloe anymore

We are

Long gone with the tide
