Sea Overturned

The waters move

From border to border.

Strong and magnificently true,

Forcing its way in its order.

 

A self-motivation drives

It onward to its destiny.

The waves slow at times,

Sea overturned, it feels the defeat.

 

At other times, it’s thrown to and fro,

Which seems to be chaos.

Still, it chooses not to let go,

Roaring at all cost.

 

The heart knows the storm

Which invades every part.

Sounding the alarm,

Sea overturned, still, it has a start.

 

Emotions flood through,

Assaulting every sense.

Though the heart breaks, it remains true

To love in every tense.

 

For though the years flow on,

In the heart they ever burn.

The heart still holds on

Even in a sea overturned.

Kind and beautiful words my friend.
"For though the years flow on,
In the heart they ever burn.
The heart still holds on
Even in a sea overturned. "
The above lines are amazing. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hi Melinda, I like how you mix a real sea with a sea of emotions. An how to heart can hold on even in emotional turmoil. It touches me because I can feel genuine experience in your words, authenticity.

Take care. If you have the time read one of mine. I too struggle.

Melinda, You capture the majesty of the sea in all of its huge scope and make it analogous to the various ways the heart is tossed and turned by life's (and love's) actions and reactions. A very clever way to illustrate your idea and the poem's message. VERY nicely done!! take care...dan
