Lost At Sea

Your love is like an ocean.

I am a leaf dancing on the waves.

And though I am lost at sea,

I need not be saved. 

In deep, dark blue water,

You have hidden your secrets away.

But since I cannot swim that deep,

On the surface, I am forced to stay.

Your love is like an ocean.

I am a leaf dancing on the waves.

And though I am lost at sea,

I need not be saved. 

Strong are your currents.

They pull me left and right. 

And because I know their strength,

I never try to fight. 

Your love is like an ocean.

I am a leaf dancing on the waves.

And though I am lost at sea,

I need not be saved.

Love this poem. Gentle, sweet, wise. Lovely imagery, rhythm and metaphor use- " I am a leaf dancing on the waves"-eloquent description of one immersed in love. Well-done!

This is deep. Being trapped in another embrace, wishing not to be saved, and giving into their direction. Thank you for sharing this.

I'm glad I picked up the meaning well enough, and once again. Thank you.

Nicely expressed. I can almost feel the waves. But a love with strong currents and secrets hidden deep.. might be rather a stormy love.

Thank you for reading! And yes it does seem like a stormy love affair
