She said The sea must be a lady

“The sea is me”, she meant

I took her words to be a fact, a factor in own my identity

I am sure that  I am the shore

And at day break, I was still pure

Caramel, sandy and tan before I am kissed

Kissed wildly by the sun that melanises

Ebony to green, the sun that photosynthesises

And from your violent waves, My kinky hair a frizz

Awaken to a drunken state consciousness

You’re melody in my ears, harmonizing with the wind that moves you.

Swaying you, back and forth, coming in and out from afar

Then crashing in to destruct me beautifully

In heaps and heaps of clarity I saw My own Purity

Dunes to the end of a rivers mouth it flows

Engulfed as whole

No regrets, I adore you

You and I

You and me

You are me

“I am she” SZA

The Goddess of forbidden love

We became the beach that castles are made of

And where melinated kingdoms were washed away

Out of history, out of memory

“Stay”

Kings and queens submitting in a trance of dance to the beating rain

To the humming winds

The distance winds of the east that is,

The soft, warm currents of Mozambique

Southern Africa, do speak

And Roar Loudly to the west

“When your breath be too sweet for your lips to hold”

Love rain,

And when sorrow your thoughts fill

Drain, back to the ocean you must go.

“Drowning”, Instantly, suddenly to your pending absence

And my beats instantaneous, discontinuous in broken notes of your departure

The tide is low

But I am high

I cried ‘I love you the sky’

You say, I am ‘only the deep ‘blue ocean’ that mirrors you’
