Leigha Made Me Cry by Kalikala Smith She kissed me. A sweet brush of the lips against my cheek, and for that instant I felt real. Then she was gone, and the emptiness is enough to fill the cold blue Atlantic. The water lapping at my veins. The seaweed and sinew wrapping itself around my body. A cold wet blanket for a lifeless lover. I loved her for that moment she was mine, and loved her more for leaving. My angel of the sea, of ocean mist, of bay breeze. Leigha made me cry. 07/30/2003 Posted on 07/30/2003 Copyright © 2024 Kalikala Smith Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Matt Forget on 07/30/03 at 04:38 AM It's like the love of the ocean.
