Salmon Poetry

Obscuring the Dark

The sun makes light

of the sea

then sets to the west

with a fiery breath

taking one more

day’s light from me.

My heart holds its beat

in the sleep of the night

bringing comfort and calm

to my mind

until dawn sends the moon

off to rest for the day

and I wake to the tune

of your lips on my face.

The spark from each kiss

keeps the embers aglow

as the sun starts to dance

on the sea

each touch and embrace

fan the flames as we go

headlong deep

down into the spray.

The waves wash away

our tracks in the sand

but we make a new path

on a different shore

though we bathe in the tide

of a day that will pass

our love is the light

that obscures the dark.
