Leave the World with Me

A free-verse love poem

I shed my clothes. They

cling to the sand

with all my doubts,

worries, and demands.

My skin breathes

as my heart sighs in relief.

In the white water

I disappear,

and I leave the world

behind me.

My love, come with me.

Meet me

where the lips

of the sky and the ocean

finally touch.

Together we can leap

onto the rising sun

and have a bite of the

heavens’ cotton candy

as you bathe in the coolness

of the breeze

and as I melt

in your sweet breath.
