I'll Return To You Poem by Mark Heathcote

This night I'll carry like an embryo
My heart bubbles, but now I've got to go
This sunrise golden calls me to my chores
But I'll not go far my boat shares its oars.

You need to let go of my hand and trust:
This our tide runs full circle back to you
For you are right now my ship's prow, readjust
I'll disembark, but I'll return to you.

Until this bubble bursts these embryos stillborn
I'll return, but for now, love-I-must go
Oh, hold me now in your arms waterborne
Like two water boatmen mirrored we'll stow.

This night again until tomorrow comes
With the distinct beat of oars our heart drums.
