Uncharted by Jake St. John

We kiss 
below 
a sea of pearls 

two bodies
swimming 
in constellations 

bouyed by the moon
our hearts beat 
like the tide

waves 
crashing
between breath

a mist of fireflies
explodes in slivers
of dull light

eyes closed
we cast off
firm shores

sailing into 
a midnight sea
of diamonds




Jake St. John spends nights in a fort on the edge of the woods.  He is the author of several collections of poetry including Snow Moon (Holy & Intoxicated Publications, 2019), Lost City Highway (A Jabber Publication, 2019) and Working Man’s Odyssey (Analog Submission Press, 2018). His poems have appeared in print and online journals around the world.
