"Mud and Sand"

I woke to
The horizon blue
Basking gently on Sunday morning
Where I saw
Your perfect flaws
Now and again
I understand
Nature's truth
And law

With every page who unfolds
I reach to unfold another
Let me plunder
In my wondering
Let me wander
Aimlessly
I want your love to envelope me
Open my eyes so I can see
What in this illusion
I have been missing

I am kissing toes
And finger tips
My lips are chapped with soars
Happenstance is coincidence
Rich men can be poor
Even lonely men
Adore from afar
Leave the door ajar
And I am sure to venture in
I am learning to transcend
My friend
See the means to the end
See yourself for who you are
And love you not despite
But instead
Because I understand
Via sea and land my lover
Via mud and sand
