there were the other sides of your coins
you had kept them to your bosom for years
the shined secrets you only shared
with the whisperers in your dreams

I guess I shouldn't have been listening
but you were my kind of ocean then
small enough to be personal
and you didn't mind how I held you

when we pretended there were storms around
and we had to keep each other company
you brought your laughter toys along
and I went hunting for treasures

you said they were not real at first
as I turned them over and kissed them
but then you said maybe sometimes they were
and did they bother my lips and eyes

and would I want another thousand more

This makes me think of the wonders that wash up on the beach after a storm.  Kick the kelp and you never know what you will find!  Listen to the waves and you never know what you will hear!

I believe I would have had to listen also.  Well done sir as always and as always a treat to glance into your shine.

We would all want a thousand more.
I am sure we all would.
Nicely written as always

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas

It sounds as if you had written a primordial sound track with a mind and a heart that know of secrets that reach into the spheres of beyond.

... and every day to come will have its own treasure, I read this in your captivating words.

Like the sea, there is a certain mystery to your writing,
and a warm and wonderful comfort level as well.

It is lovely what you do with the written word, D~
