Trading Elements

Sometimes our "type" is the reason we can't find what we are missing.

His eyes resembled the Earth

Crumbling my yearning

For swirling shades of blue

Those crystal waters that swept in

Through the eyes of past lovers

Dried at rapid speeds

Leaving only the ground

The roots

The origin

My ribcage cracked with fear

A hypothetical grief of his absence

Wondering what life would be

Without him

It seemed impossible

Incomplete

The sparkle transferred from his eyes

Reflected in mine and my daughter’s

Leaving a fleeting euphoria

Unlike the way I used to drown

In pairs of oceans

Alone

He renewed a fading spark

Adding light to who I was

What joy I own

To see and feel

The Earth

Enamor the sun
