Oceans Between Us

The Earth tears at my ankles,

In this pitch dark of the night,

Wind howling in my ears, Satanic force,

Ripping my heart with all it's might,

"The ship just won't sail tonight" 

They call down from below,

For the air had turned the tide against us-

And there's no way for me to go

This rocky cliff that gains me height,

Once stood for me like a throne,

Now it gives me clear view of the vast ocean,

Of the storm I now call my own,

I could never live life without you,

I reach but can never hold on to your presence,

I want to embrace you in my arms,

But it seems the ocean separates us,

The waves can crash upon this ship,

but God forbid, don't sink it

Its sad that there's the seas between us,

Full of tears I cry at night for you,

Wishing I could look you in the eye,

And say how much I love you,

Oh, this is definitely different considering your recent pieces but I like it. Love's ironic indeed, seeing as how it brings around the seemingly unromantic souls to write about it ;) The longing here is palpable (to me).
Nice piece of writing, Sarah. x

Oh lettuce I mean. Duh. Idk what came over me

It may not have a happy ending (who wants them) but I really like your new approach here. It is indeed a kind of nightmare to not be able to access love, separated by a cruel, unrelenting sea. And the currents too set against us! I hope you know swimming! This poor kitty would be swept away! (I’m pathetic in the water) Seriously my dear, if it’s precious it will prevail in the tempest. Just try not to let go till you reach a nice, silky shore. (I’ll keep a picnic basket ready for you) 100% !!
😺💕

Thank you ditzy! Yeah, it does hurt a lot...
I'm not a very strong swimmer hahaha.
A picnic basket for me? Aw thank you! What sort of sandwiches are in there? Yum yum!
Thanks for the review!

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

I specialise in garlic cheese sandwiches with my choice of tuna or rat on mustard. However, you can name your preferences and I’ll be ready with the basket. I also do love caramel biscuits! 😺😺😺😺😺

[LazerRays]

Mmmmmm those sound delicious hahahaha. I'll take whatever you bring. I'll be have drowned anyways and everything would be amazing. Caramel buisciits are good! Hahahaha! Now I'm hungry! See ya at the picnic soon :P

I really enjoyed this. A long distant love across the waters hoping to reach the other side together. I saw your note about love poetry not being in your range and I find that to wrong, this was great.

[LazerRays]

Wow. You got that exactly right! You're awesome! Thank you so much :P
And I mean it's not really my type. I've always been a dark Edgar Allan Poe type. But it was fun to write this :)
