four letters

Love
just four letters,
or three,
if you have a mind
for modern spelling,
but a spell
cast deep,
none-the-less,
the deepest of all -
by far
the deepest of all.

Names together

Writing names in sand
around them a heart.
Later,
listening to the waves
crash and return
washing
where our names once were,
your head on my chest
hearing
our lives beat together.
