i sit listening to the sea as it sighs
echoing and moaning with mournful cries
i sit watching the sea as it washes the shore
in the same endless rhythm as ever before
i sit watching the sea as it comes rolling in
with white-crested surges that dance and sing
i sit watching a saga of slow song and dance
an unfolding tale of ageless romance
i sit listening to the sea and its song
and i find without knowing, i am singing along.

passion
what is passion
but intense desire
a torrent of kisses
cascading over two bodies
entwined
entangled arms and legs
and hair
surging over the sheets
a surf
washing the shore
in endless motion
spent
like the sea
gently lapping at
the beach
pulling at the sand
persistent
incessant
tender caresses
silent
but for a faint sighing
echoed infinitessimally
in love
tracing patterns
across wet sand
over and over
again
the sea
runs its fingers
over the beach
picking at the particles
leaving its marks
in wet kisses washed over
by more kisses
building up anew
a storm
beating against the shore
relentlessly
thrashing the sands
thrown up in throes
of passion.

my mind it seems
has wrought a million lines
all thought
is centered round
you and
when no more words
come pouring out
i seek
a peaceful cove
to hide myself
where i can watch
the sea as it
endlessly
bathes the shore
and i dream
of you as i feel
the warm waves
caressing me
as you once did
and i find
comfort knowing
that once before
we loved.
and as the sea
returns forever
in tireless innuendo
courting a still shore
that yields
no more than but
few grains of sand
each time
i yield with each return
a little bit of me
until
no more is left
to yield
after an eternity.
wondrous stars
never do i cease
wondering
never tiring
casting brilliance
in darkened dome
and below
reflections
soft beads of white
in Poseidon’s bed
gently lulling vessels
in warm embrace
i rest.
the sea and i
are one
we float
gaze at the sky
we see ourselves
stars shining brightly
we rise
we reach, reach
for the stars
we try
we’ve been together
since
a long long time ago
we’ve lived forever
no one
no one ever knows
that
the sea and i
are one
we travel on
rolling on, rolling on
viewing the mountains
emerald spots of green
longing for calm
longing to stay
the stars keep on calling
we must go their way
the stars have their way
the sea and i
are one
we fly
fly to the heavens
shining in the heavens
we are our mirror
gazing down below
we watch ourselves going, rolling
we watch
the sea
and i.
