And the painting...

Like the poem, this is called Siren's Dream. It is acrylic, ink and charcoal on paper.

Siren's Dream

I wish you were this moment
to fill the chasm in my arms
dive the dark it takes to reach me
and hold the moonlight with your breath
stir me with your rope coarse fingers
kiss incantations from my lips.

Your pirate’s chest I cannot touch it
still I feel ocean in your heart
when I close my eyes to see you
transcendent treasure all around.
