"love story"

Good Morning!
she yelped and cried in vain
good morning…
to fingers stiff and cold;
and the waves crashed,
the tides turned,
the eyes were still and far.
She begged to no avail;
the tree shut,
the dirt fell in mounds,
the foliage died away,
and she knelt and wept.
The time passed,
the skin fell away,
and she came,
she came till Good Night,
good night…
she whispered
into fingers stiff and cold;
she tossed with the ocean spray,
and two souls drowning, drenched,
salt heavy on flesh,
flesh heavy in water,
water heavy on lungs,
lungs heavy on breath,
breath heavy in love,
love heavy on hearts,
hearts
stopped.
And the two souls
they fell away,
they floated on.
