I Am All The Colors Of The Ocean

You color me soft green, like the foam that gathers on top of waves. 

I am soft to the touch and disappear far too quick, a dream on the tip of your tongue.

But somehow you have found a way to hold me, preserve me, as the mist.

And I know with you I will never loose my color.

Ive always loved indigo but you say it is too dangerous for me. It is too dark for me.

I am less siren and more mermaid. And though I yearn for the crashing waves, I bite my tongue and bleed a dark blue color.

I am content with the indigo circle on my wrist.

I want to be your sea breeze and carry you home after a long day.

The taste of salt on your tongue can be my tears but I promise they won't be from sadness. I want my waves to bring you to your place, because its next to me.

You color me all the shades of the water, and whether I am dark that day or the white light shining through the surface of the water, I know you will stay.

You hold me like I'm water, tight enough to hold me together but you let me stay fluid.

And the ocean whispers in our ears,

"You were never meant to sleep apart."
