Deep is the Ocean

The conclusion of my heart.

Deep is the ocean

and strong is the wind

that blows us to sea

toward land we'll discover

in the fullness of time,

I'll be your lover

and you will be mine.

 

Deep is the ocean

that feeds our emotion

and strong are the ties

that bind our souls.

 

Sweet are the secrets told

to our hearts,

wise men will see them

but fools will be blind

our love will seal them

in the fullness of time.

 

Sweet is the nectar

that seeps into our souls

Full are the blessings

and lofty the goals.

 

So tender the heart

but strong is the will

dark is the shadow

and bitter the pill.

 

Devil or angel

You will decide

burn me with fire

test my desire

naked before you

I've no place to hide.

 

And when you lay hold

of the dream that we share

whenever you call me

I will be there

and whatever you need

I'll give it completely

with roses and music

and kisses that sweetly

remain on your lips

like vintage red wine

I'll be your lover

and you will be mine.

 

Deep is the ocean

and wild the sea

I offer my love

from down on one knee

I offer my love

and all that we'll be

I want you forever

forever with me.

Deep is the ocean that feeds our emotion and strong are the ties that bind our souls.
Wow, Roy, you can't get a better feeling than that. A very powerful and highly intimate stanza.
This stanza is equally as powerful and fills the page with both an openness and impassioned feeling of love!
Devil or angel
You will decide
burn me with fire
test my desire
naked before you
I've no place to hide.

The last stanza melts the heart and the reader can feel the intensity of your love!!

An exquisite write!!

a beautiful love poem gently resting somewhere between romantic sonnet and love song lyrics. Articulately penned ardor. It truly made me smile and remember 'romance' - well done.

[Jenny Davis]

Gorgeous piece, it flowed perfectly! This would make for a GREAT proposal....just lovely! :)

[Tania Leigh]

Beautiful metaphors and imagery here, and I agree with All Faded Blue....your muse should see this!
A wonderful poem :-)

Beautifully written. If you wrote this with a special someone in mind, please make sure she gets it. It is too lovely to be hidden away.
