Sprinkled Brown

ellemac23:

The candlelit eyes

sprinkled to me

in a shimmering sea.

A golden leaf flowing

to me from you.

The twisting roots giggling

into the essence of a greater life.

Your hand outreached.

long and stretching.

Coming to tickle me.

To stream across me

as the wind does to the sparkling sand.

I searched for your assurance 

as a shy, romantic pleaser.

All the leaf wants is a tree branch.

All the reef wants is a wave of salty water.

All I want is your sprinkled brown eyes on me.
