Ocean <br />fill my soul <br />with freedom's scent. <br />Your waves that roll <br />that came and went <br />like love, <br />just spent <br />long enough <br />to enrapture me. <br />Then were gone. <br />My message in a bottle <br />lost at sea. <br />Blue moonlight shone, <br />What's left for me. <br />Now <br />my poetry in motion <br />is just lights upon <br />the ocean. <br /> <br />Ocean <br />take me away, <br />under crimson skies <br />to yesterday <br />where happiness lies. <br />That came and went, <br />like your tide. <br />Sun in my eyes <br />but I'm dead inside. <br />My tears in a bottle <br />lost at sea, <br />as sunset bled. <br />I yearn to be <br />immersed in a rhyme. <br />Now cursed <br />I just mime <br />love poems <br />of another time, <br />written in water alone. <br />Like promises of devotion <br />prone <br />to sinking <br />in the ocean. <br /> <br />Ocean <br />wash over me. <br />And cleanse my world <br />of used to be. <br />To wake marooned <br />on that island of dreams. <br />My hopes harpooned <br />split at the seams. <br />Her kiss <br />my only potion. <br />Love's drowning <br />in the ocean.<br /><br />Kevin East<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ocean-74/
