An Ocean

You only ever leave my thoughts for a moment,

And like a tide you never fail to return again.

Your depths are like those of an ocean,

I can only dive so far.

Like sinking ships, those around you

Are pulled in with no mercy

Can not come up, will not come up

Left drowning for eternity

Like a sea, you have so many secrets

All waiting to be found,

And once I've swam in the blue of your eyes

I will never seek out ground,

When anger boils inside you, it crashes like the waves,

That's why you are an ocean

And like a sea behave

You are quite the romantic. You write of love in an endearing ways. It's refreshing to read positive things about love instead of just heartache. God bless you.

This is an amazing poem. It reminds me of how I feel about my boyfriend at times. Was it written with someone special in mind?
