Tick Tock

I write you many poems 
you inspire me so deep 
my heart 
at your alter peaks 
I want nothing 
but to complete 
I'll drown myself 
out in the sea 
cause' I'll die if I can't be 

please 
give me what I need 
so I can breathe 
I'm choking on my art 
at your feet.

The moon melts to three
and my fire drowns 
inside of me.
I'll not come back, 
I can't come back 
till a sign 
you shine for me.

However faint, 
I long to flicker 
orange blue 
the moon comes through 
burning bright an electric star 
darts my heart aglow again 
in golden hues. 

Echoes in mind 
inspire the fire 
colour feeds me light 
got to keep it bright 
draw a picture or two 
connect the dots 
tick tock 

there are no lines 
in my sand
no clocks in land 
time stands 
the ocean demands 
my heart in the deep 
lies naked always 
at your feet.
