'Sometimes, I feel like the ocean and me
Have more things in common than you can see
I'm sorry if I've hurt you
Immersed you in my pain
Drowned you in my passion
Swallowed by a wave of rage
Lately I've been the definition of confusion
Switching from blue skies to rain
Back and forth from peace to trepidation
Changing in the blink of your eye
When all I wish to do
Is hold you in my arms
And rock you back and forth
To the rhythm of our hearts
It's you who calms my stormy moods
And stirs me up inside
You don't know it, but it's true
But these feelings I must hide,
From you....
Yes, I'm as uncertain as the sea
Unsure of just who I should be
If I should dash your heart upon the rocks
Or pull you out to play
Should I let you float on by?
Watching from the corner of my eye
As I let you gently slip away
Unaware of me....
Yes, sometimes I feel like the sea,
Which means you don't really know me...
At all.'

I like how the lilting and fluid rhythm of your words accompanies the ocean metaphor. :)
ReplyDeletei dont know fancy poetry terms like sam, but I liked it a lot em, especially the end.
ReplyDeletewell, i'm glad you liked it. it's just some silly dabbling of writing out jumbled thoughts...i'm sure i broke all the fancy rules of how to write poetry but oh well :)
