Malibu Moment

did you know the ocean beats inside you?

i heard it, its sandy shores whispering
from within your chest.
it soothed me, quieted words,
as the sea spray soaked me in you-dew.

did you know this moment was all there ever was?
when you became the beach and I cuddled the cliff
of your chest.

was the sun shining?
I don't know. were we alone?
of course.

the tides within you ebb and flow,
we come and go,
sometimes choppy, sometimes
so clear, so crystal, so calm
i can see the depths

before you put your hand in
and make me ripple and it's lost again.

In Malibu, our hearts stopped.
And yet we were more alive
than ever.

Shhh....

here comes another wave
for our surfer souls.
