Vapour first
Then
Flowed
From the fountains of your eyes
And turned into a waterfall
On to your cheeks
And became a sea on your dimples
I’ve made endless
Paper boats
And released them
Into your foamy waves
I set names
Darling
Love
Separation
Your lips were the breakwater
At your bay
only separation took refuge.
