Red Ocean by Sumedha (22)

With each touch of yours, you turned me into a glacier
And the glacier flows in me-, sings in my head- like a linnet’s song​Don't turn back this time, I won't ask 
My bones, my mind, and my soul are freezing 

---

Now as I sleep with my soltitude -your breath
 touches my cheek like the Apricity of- the winter sky
The dreams kept coming back so I slept through the storm 
All those dreams now lay dead and buried deep in the ocean
The ocean we dreamt of was not dark, didn't feel gray 
So I dressed white today-, took out the blues you left
I left my shoes at the shore to rest and 
kept walking
As I walked without your blues, I stumbled upon
a wound-, caused by a million swords
But I kept walking to seek those dreams
I kept walking till the ocean turned red
I finally met the bright red ocean that treasured
our dreams like its own pearls
I stared at the shore where my shoes rested
and dove deep
Thereafter I lived on with our dreams.
