Tepid Tides

Amongst the jungle on the isle’s edge
the tepid tides have carved a golden heart
of salt
and rock –

Just so, your voice’s limpid surf has etched
into my soul a secret golden mark
so – drop –
by drop –

A poem for
Valentine’s Day!
It sounds like a very long relationship…
Inspired by a postcard of a heart-shaped island.
