Tidals of Dilemma

You were just like the sea

All silver, waves and vision I cannot see

I was bewildered with how you felt in my skin

The way you touch the  gleams of sun and moon

And the smell of salt waters halt my mind in ease

Every timeless touch of your wave to the sand

Comes with the blinding sound of peace

It makes me wonder how I couldn't  do it�"

To swim under your breathless blues and bliss

Just to reach in your depths of wonders

Embracing your every darkest and heavenly fires

Yet, to be with you takes a lot of risk

You were a sight  that hides a storm beneath

A strange sight I longed to grasp for eternity

But risk are the things I cannot manifest 

Astraea~

I really enjoyed this and found it spilled out from over the page ( of iPhone screen of whatever)…

Is your moniker from the name of the goddess Astraea, Meaning "star-maiden" or "starry night"

all the best

Fantastic metaphors used in this poem, the waves taking on almost a three dimensional state of lost love. The sadness shown as the deep dark place in the ocean, where evidently you cannot go, nor do you want this. It seems to be too risky to take this darkness head on. Even though your wave (love) comes with peace, "I wonder why I couldn't do it"..... really lovely.
Best, Betty
