    OCEANS
    Oceans are time spent with destiny
    With every wave touching land
    With every crash to scepters of rocks
    The ocean never ends seeming forgotten
    Its existence close to a mock….

    If you were an ocean away from me
    I would sail it, clamoring and reveling until I touch you
    I have yet to smell the stain of your breath
    As you utter the words of chance for tomorrow’s worth….

    I have never left you….
    I never did
    Though I swim….I swim alone
    Through this ocean I am forlorn….

    I am waiting….still
    For the ocean’s wave to siege my frail remains
    Though for each wave that passes ….
    I yearn for your sting and the sad shadow of your glances.

    I will drift away forever…
    Amongst the tide….amongst the blur
    Let this ocean lead me the way
    For in your arms until death I will stay…..

    IF THESE POEMS ARE ALL REFERING TO THE SAME PERSON WHO OBVIOUSLY SHATTERED YOUR HEART AT LEAST 2 YEARS AGO, I HAVE 1 ?. Y CANT YOU LET GO OF SOMEONE THAT DOSEN'T WANT YOU..........YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO STOP LOVING HIM...I KNOW YOU CAN'T, I'VE BEEN THERE. BUT PUT THAT IN A DEEP FILE IN YOUR HEART AND OPEN THAT SPACE FOR THE ONE WHO WANTS TO FILL IT!!!!! Y.L.L.I.W.

    To be surrounded by Love, Endless Love. This is well written and well understood. Not only that but it shows that beauty can be found in all things. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

    A unique, realistic view of love waiting .. as one swimming the vast ocean alone. The high tides will eventually deliver with the moon and sun as silent witnesses. Great write. 10

    Thank you SBear!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
