Waves Wash Over Me
A million ocean's depths
turquoise blue,
their piercing
brilliantness catches me,
drenching me in love,
passionate, and true,
resistance futile,
trapped never to be free.
Romance blossomed as rich
red roses grew,
each scarlet coloured
petal, more unique,
each precious bud gave my
heart something new,
until a new love you
began to seek.
Now I'm alone, exposed as
a coastline,
thoughts cascade like
waves on wet sand,
making fossils out this
heart of mine,
my teardrops beat to the
own marching band.
How much erosion must
take place – before
I find love to hold,
cherish, and adore.
