Water and the river

loving you

        

I am the water, you are the river

I seek the ocean, you show me the way

 

You shape me, make me, and complete me...

 

so... looking on your face

Your beautiful face, I say...

 

What is the water, without the river?

A river without water runs empty,

A useless vessel in a lonely desert

 

And yet the water without the river

Is only a longing and a misty tear

That clouds the darking skies

 

so... as in a kiss, I know

We are nothing, nothing at all,

Nothing without each other-

the river & its waters

Author's Note

Sitting by this river, camping, I felt the river in my soul.

[Coyote Poetry]

A amazing poem. Your description using the water and the ocean is strong and meaningful. To need someone like water to the sea is what love should be. A excellent poem.
