The Sea’s Lover

The Sea’s Lover

The sea dashes across the rocks
Like an anxious suitor waiting
To caress his loved raven locks

Like a shrill melody, it sings
To its lover a lullaby
With a tune carried by birds wings

Echoing from the distant shore
Crying out from the ocean depths
Penetrating the land once more

Suddenly tranquil like a lover
Satisfied by the night’s passion
It rests quietly undercover

The sea is on land,”…let the land appear…and it was called earth”… This was commanded at the front beginning,of d back beginning.The Sea’s passion for Land and its rocks,it’s a passion between man and woman. Unseperated lover.Thks 4 d link Frances.

When I feel the poem as is flows with each word it takes me into it and I become you. I love the way you combined the picture, for I taste the passion as water flows over my toes, greeting him. Nicely done. Nancy
