Oceans of Love


If only I could show you, the joys that love can bring
amidst the pain and sorrow, to hear the ocean sing

Like waves upon the shore, pools that ebb and flow
Coming closer to where you stand, only to pull away and go

Not knowing the ebb of tide, each wave inches away
Then flows to greet your toes, though planted they stay

Wanting anxiously to greet it, to plunge feet first
Or wait to have it touch you, savoring the thirst.

Or fear it will reach you, then wash away the sand
Too cold for toes to touch, so you reach with your hand.

Oh! to test the waters, for a temperature just right
Not committing to the touch, but knowing that you might.

Maybe, you take no chances and a step back away
Not wanting to touch the sea of love, not wanting to feel that way

Just close your eyes and smell the ocean, feel the breeze in your hair
Hear the sea gulls speak their rhythm, sense the magic coming near

Let your heart see the hope, horizons upon the ocean
Feel the tides of love, the waves set in motion.

Another beautiful poem jiminy. I can almost feel myself standing by the ocean, and waiting for the waves to touch my toes. Thanks jiminy. You certainly have a beautiful way of expressing yourself and bringing the reader to where you are.
