An Ocean Of Love

some would call it smooth sailing 

I prefer to say we had  the sun on our backs 

with nature glistening diamonds 

across the ocean in a radiant show of 

sunlight mixed with unending possibilities of love 

we knew it 

never declared it 

was that the problem? 

then the winds changed 

the shift so apparent I felt it at the inception

you let me go 

physically we were a distance apart

I felt you ….

cast me out to sea

don’t mind

I can swim,

these waters were never unchartered

the weight is heavy as I watch you drift away 

I’m treading water 

wondering in silent mind mutterings

the what ifs 

of even a whispered declaration 

before it was all too late

poignant KW! i feel the melancholy and the strength of seasoned assurance ... the images are instant but its the emotive power of this simple honest moment of reflection that really grab me ... i remember as a teen the times i lost at "love" and almost relished the sadness and calm of it ... weird huh!? ;) nice job...smooth read ..a complete picture tho in a moment encompasses the life "before" that brought your speaker to such a place .. nice one for sure
