A Face Under Water
Hearts Didn't Stop, Breaths Didn't Falter
She was like a face under water
And when at sunset, the rays fell on her.
They made her shine, made her glimmer
But that was just the surface
Just like the stone at sunset which seems to shimmer at its face,
Yet remains gray underneath.
The clouds kissed her head and yet the ground firmly under her feet
He was like a face under water
Always so transparent and yet always so pellucid
He was always right there and yet he was so elusive.
Like a face under water, her face folded with the waves
And yet it stood still, without any rants or any raves.
Like a face under water his face folded with the waves
And yet it stood still like a lily white, emotionless but with a heart that craves.
Their eyes would often meet and presently pass over,
That one look would take them from Denver to Dover
But never once did it affect them, unlike what people claim.
Hearts didn’t stop, breaths didn’t falter
What could they do? They were just two faces under water.
