Uncharted Territory Poem by Amber Evans

asleep in my bed one night
loneliness awakes me
i drove to your house in the dark, called your phone
i know it's raining baby, just come outside
i need you
i want you to explore this land
the land you call 'baby'
from the deep valleys of my neck
to my lush mountaintops
across the flat plains of my stomach
all the way down to the oasis you seem to long for
where the waters rush
day and night...
dive in
take a drink
engulf yourself in it
dig deep into the earth
into the rich soil
plant your flag
this is your land
oceans and mountains
swim to the bottom
climb to the top
bring forth avalanches
everything tumbles down
after that you can float away
let it rock you...
...as you drift off to sleep...
