23 Apr sun and sea

how could a man ever compete
when your lovers were sun and sea
when sunbeams laid under your feet
when the tide bends to _____ _____

where I see where the sun kissed you
by the golden locks in your hair
and where the sun had touched you too
by the places you’re bronze or fair

so night would never conceal us
no, day is our eternal stage
what light should ever reveal us
what’s the dark but a lover’s cage

and where the waters embraced you
has been treated by salt and sand
and where the waters brought you to
has been never rivaled on land

so what the gulf had taught to me
is not measured in depth alone
and what the tide had brought to me
is not treasure merely my own

though I envy not gulf nor day
for we’re on land for nightly prayer
things changed, is what I want to say
because I am falling for you _____
