Meandering

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. Khalil Gibran

I want to be your riverside

you, who are flowing

and moves my earth

 

let me erode

more widely

and lay in your curves

 

becoming longer

to be a desire

breaking through myself

 

till tomorrow you are

a whirlpool in the sea

drawing me

drawing me

 

drowning me.

Amazing use of words my friend.
"let me erode

and lay in your curves "
Each set of lines a vision and thoughts create. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
