Ocean

And I want to drown
In your layers, like ocean.
Vital, not a choice

Linking with Haiku Horizons : ocean

Candle

"Don't strain your eyes in dark".
So I lit one bulb.
Exasperated with my carelessness,  he switched on the tube light.
His "I love you" .
Then he left.
And on his side of the bed,  candle weeps silently.
