Shells Surface on Waves of Transparency

Time is consuming.
Dark bodies float towards me,
I am contemplating their existence.

Your soul is brought to a place renewed;
It doesn't recognise
The life inside.

Let the blood spill down,
Let the stars burn out,
I'll save these words for another time.

Wouldn't they leave you empty and myself transparent?

Surfacing like shells,
Glistening jewels born on the waves.
You are everything to me,
And I am still learning.

Let the blood spill down,
Let the stars burn out,
I'll save these words for another time.

When you are near enough to hear a whisper.

yes this is lyrical enough

Hi,
I've been spending the morning reading poetry off of this site and, although it isn't really my favourite literature, I'm sooo surprised at how much I'm enjoying the different pieces, like this one.
I'll defintely read some more of your work soon.
Jay
