By Ivan Ling

Your love is like the surface of still water
Untouched, a mirror reflecting
The brightest of stars, those of
Your eyes that gaze in silent curiosity
As ripples ride along your body,
And as rosy droplets penetrate
Your surface — stillness, explodes
Supernovas, incontestable
There is no more silence but cacophony
As droplets continue to slam unto you
Until your love becomes fistfuls
Of shattered memory dust and
Your peace becomes
An eternal disturbance
