Till I Runneth Over

Refreshing, Restoration

By alaynnaPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I used to think sex was everything. To have a person swim

in me, and absorb one another chemically and spiritually...

But how could I do that?

Cast a vast responsibility upon someone, to take in

and hold onto all my darkness, worries, insecurities,

light, love and purity...

So, I searched for a new lover whom

could sprinkle, and claim a place. A place where

both our toxins and faults

could Coexist.

And so, this new man asks

"How deep is your love?"

If only you knew the dangers of it being so deep

you could come before me, and before He.

But he should've asked how' Dark were the

depths of my ocean.

You see because my darkness is here on the surface.

On the surface there is ugly; you, a man and flesh could not

surpass and reach the depths of my beauty...

Finally, a drop of rain fell and quenched my thirst.

I looked up and it poured.

The clouds whispered

"Now let me restore whatever the sun has caused to evaporate."

He kissed me with every drop, inhabiting the depths of my beyond.

I am swimming afloat.
