I was born with the sea in my soul

And it’s not so much how emotions come and go like waves

It’s more how I always rock the boat

I taste like saltwater on your tongue

At first you want to spit me out yet after a couple seconds you always thirst for more

I evaporate shortly after touching you

Leaving tiny crystal bits of me to remind you how you need to shower

That I make you filthy

Dry you out

Get tiny grains of sand in all the wrong places

People swim in my tides and feel robbed of some sort of awe; like the seashells the ocean has always stolen from me I am brittle when the sun is out

I was born with the sea in my soul and it’s not so much how lovers come and go like waves

 

It’s more how I always rock the boat

Part of maintaining a healthy

Part of maintaining a healthy relationship IS rocking the boat sometimes. Could be me but I don't view love as "happily ever after Cinderella" love story. Ther are people out there who will find you well worth your turbulence...you just have to start looking at your "turbulence" as a strength that needs more skilled steering. Don't just hire a captain of your ship. Be it.

......

 

Love the write. You have so much skill its illuminous.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Interesting writthought Respected RWR

Interesting writthought Respected RWR.Imagery of "soul" as "brine" I am off to fetch a new oar for my sailboat.Old oar is now rotten from being in 

sea-water for long decades.My sailor-cap has sand in it.My hair is matted from being at sea for long.Gues it needs shampooing also.I'll listen to the song by Greg Laswell Babu sometime if it's on Youtube.Reminds me of another song" We're in the same boat brother.(twice) When you rock one end you'll rock the other end..."

thank you my dear :) I love when comments are mini poems! the song didn't so much inspire the poem as I had the poem and then needed a title and it was the first song with waves which came up in google that  knew :) I was lucky that I found a lyric which fitted the feeling I was going for :)
