A Vast Ocean

Written 4/11/15 sereenaoutloud challenged me to write something, it had to be about water so here it is haha.

Your heart
Is like a vast ocean.
At the shoreline
The waves are usually calm.
..Tamed..
But swim further out
Take a dive
And see
The untamed waters; a raging
Deep sea
(End)

Author's Note

Only posting it cause Sereena wanted me too haha.

It is in the depths of the heart that passion rages, spilling only a little towards the shores of love... a beautiful, 'short' write, GEP... love it!

[GreenEyedPoet]

Thank you FT!
Haha yea I do have a couple short ones on here, you can thank Sereena for those, I always send them to her because I never feel like they're finished and she always says to leave them be and post them lol.

[....................]

She is a very inspirational poet... you are welcome!

[GreenEyedPoet]

Indeed she is. :]

[Coyote Poetry]

Great use of sea and good description. It is true. The farther we go into the wild sea of emotion. The more dangerous it can be. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

[GreenEyedPoet]

Very true, those uncharted wild emotions can be quite dangerous if you don't know how to handle them!
Thanks for checking it out Coyote! :]

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome.

Well, this one is powerful, and amazing. Going to my favorites, and ya know the rating already 100#

[GreenEyedPoet]

Glad you liked it. :]
You can thank Sereena for being able to read it lol. I was never gonna post this, I didn't like it lol.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Lol. Well, thanks Sereena! btw...i usually post whatever i write...most of the times i don't bother editing it. But i did write a lot on paper, and those writes didn't make it to this site.

[GreenEyedPoet]

I don't usually edit mine either. Though I have been doing it a bit more often lately. The last couple of ones that I've posted I edited a bit. They came out better after the edit lol.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Lol. Either way, i subscribed to your writing. I'm impressed by what I've seen so far. Keep it coming.

[GreenEyedPoet]

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying them. :]

[Thesecuts]

woah, I love this and i'm not just saying that. I love it so, so, much. It describes everything you could look for in a poem.

[GreenEyedPoet]

Thanks hun! I'm glad you really liked it. :D

[Brian]

I don't know if I've ever seen the heart depicted in such a way. I love it.

I'm a sucker for the water. :)

[GreenEyedPoet]

Glad you liked it. :)
I'm not sure whether I've heard anything similar to this either, but I've read tons of poetry over the years so I probably have and just don't remember lol.
Haha I'm the same way, water is always so inspiring!

[Brian]

Shhh.. You're totally supposed to own it and be like, "Oh, hells yeah, Brian. I rocked that heart descriptor like you wouldn't believe. Totally. Original. Badass. That's me. Sup sup!"

Or you could talk coherently and say what you just said.

Okay, maybe you actually chose the right route to go.. heh.

I heart the water.

[GreenEyedPoet]

Lmao that is so not something I would say.

[Brian]

*sighs deeply*

And I had such high hopes for you..

Kidding. Of course it isn't. That's why I'm actually talking to you! lol.

[GreenEyedPoet]

If I did say something like that, it would've been me being sarcastic lol. And most people don't get sarcasm, so I don't do it around most people lol.

[Brian]

Really? Most don't get sarcasm? It's such a valuable tool for entertainment.

[GreenEyedPoet]

I can only speak for my experience, but people that don't know me very well, often take offense to my sarcasm. They think I'm being mean or they're confused by it. But those who know me well, know I'm almost always sarcastic lol. But I'm the good sarcastic, the funny kind lol.

[Brian]

Aw, lay it on me. I can take it. As for you being mean? Well, clearly *I* don't think you're being mean. Because who would ever be that way with such good company as me? haha.

I'm glad you clarified that it's the funny kind. Otherwise I'd have never known. Kidding!!

[GreenEyedPoet]

Haha you'll see it eventually I'm sure.

Alright mr smarty pants! Lmao. There is a difference! Lol.

[Brian]

I'll see it all in time!

You're still smiling.

[GreenEyedPoet]

I'll never admit to that lol.

[Brian]

Ahem. The Christian thing to do would be to... okay, so not playing that card lol.

Fine.

Am I wrong? ;)

[GreenEyedPoet]

Christianity has nothing to do with this lol.
I don't know, are you? Lol.

[Brian]

I know it doesn't. I'm just being incorrigible. ;)

Nope. I know you're smiling.

[GreenEyedPoet]

Mr know it all too huh? Lol.

[Brian]

I know! Isn't a treat for you to have met someone who knows everything? lol.

[GreenEyedPoet]

No, cause I already knew someone like that lol. Myself haha.

[Brian]

Ahem. Then we're going to make magic.

[GreenEyedPoet]

Haha how so?

[Brian]

Two brilliant minds? That's a recipe for, well, brilliance! I think?

[GreenEyedPoet]

Haha maybe!
