wild horses

 

 

 

 

I loved you like wild horses

 

unbounded sand and ocean endless

throbbing chests and ragged breath

our feet danced with the sunsets

beating in our veins

 

I loved you like wild horses

 

we drank when we were thirsty

we cried when we were broken

and knew when we were hungry

we would always have the night

 

I loved you like wild horses

 

unfettered moon-winds blew

their sepia across our beaches

antiquing our days, I rode your waves

and frothed beneath the stars

 

I loved you like wild horses

 

I said I loved you wild

and never asked for freedom

never, ever asked you

to be free
