If you’ve followed me on here you know that I write poetry and have a poetry section on my blog. I write when I’m happy, sad, angry, in love and just because. I realized tonight that I have been slacking in the poetry department the past few months. My apologies…Enjoy
No one owns the ocean & because its free
it opens up its beauty for all to see
I’ve come to deconstruct my identity soaking shoulder deep
in oceans of humility hoping to land on my feet
breaking shackles that have held me down so long
freeing ankles with my very own love song
from rainy puddles in Ohio to this fearless paradise
Why did I ever debate or even think twice
Time is often wasted but never thrown away
We wake up tomorrow to a brand new day
Love so tender that went down so fast
Everyone but us knew that it would never last
Eyes as blue as this ocean could not mesmerize this soul
Honesty and truth should be the only common goal
My eyes were greener than usual today but you will never see
what the reflection of this ocean looks like inside the soul of me
Standing here to take it in but only shoulder deep
I’ve learned from you to never allow my heart to fully sink
Rising to a place where yesterday flees
forgetting by the second what will never be
Tomorrow is irrelevant or at least thats what “they” say
so to was the inconsistency of our day to day
Somehow I should be crying but Im numb from the pain
yet in this moment of sublimity I remain humbly sane
Is this moment over or is it to replay
There I go again without anything important to to say
For me its gone and buried in the ocean blue
Another minute hour day passes without me seeing you
Nothing lasts forever you mumbled the night we met
I pondered that but didn’t know your mind was clearly set
Soft and kind memories I will take with me
The deepest love is never a love that will ever be
