Obsessed With The Ocean

Some people say,

I’m obsessed with the ocean

That I’m obsessed with the sounds of the swaying water,

As it hits the shore line

Or the white sparkles,

That reflect the sun gently kissing its adulteress secret lover…

The sea,

As the earth looks away from her for a moment,

To catch a breathtaking glimpse of the beautiful shinning stars one last time

That I’m in love,

With the secret affairs of the moon and the waves at nigh

When nether the sun or the earth are lessening,

That for a moment,

I can catch a gentle glimpse of their true unrequited love,

That can never be anything but secret,

Like a Shakespeare sonnet or a Romeo and Juliet love story

Some people say,

I’m obsessed with the ocean

That somehow I can find no other peace,

Then when I’m in the intoxicating proximity of the salty ocean air

Than the enticing salty water,

That try’s so desperately to quench the earth of her thirst

That someone said when I’m in the ocean,

I see nothing more,

Than just the ocean crashing its waves ageist the earth,

Pleading for attention

Begging for her married lover to notice her prescience

And speak with her

Because of this

Some people say

I’m obsessed with the ocean

But really I’m obsessed with what I see

Because hearing the moans of the crashing waves of the ocean as she speaks

And seeing the sparkling blue waves of the sea act out her story

Lessening as the ocean tells me her sad forgotten story

And after lessening to her lonely forgotten tale

She does everything she possibly can

To set me and my soul free
