Amor Café

Morrowind: Excommunication of Tivam Sadri, the dissident priest.

Where the tides ebb and flow

Over my weary bones and disfigured body

Against white sand past distant horizons

For it's winds whisper secrets to me long lost to time

Utters words and phrases unheard to the masses

It's tides deliver me messages from long ago

Encased bottles for safety and rescue, and attest love and hatred

Simply for me alone to listen to

It gives me hope for a brighter future

One safe nestled beneath the waters

Softly in the sand buried with crabs

Safe and sound, just for me to ponder

Just out of my grasp

Might I reach that point

The point of no return

To stray from familiar and delve into unknown waters

Might I just go out for a swim, leave that sandy beach alone

The water would gape and swallow me whole

It would fill my lungs and burn my eyes

Waterlog my muscles and wrinkle my flesh

It takes the pain away and leaves me gasping for air

Gasping for more

And I go back to that ghastly beach every day

Lurring me back with sweet nothings

With sailors tongue and fish breath

It begs me to take that swim
