"Be the change you want to see in the world." -Mahatma Gandhi


Our love is written in the waves
As they splash upon the shore;
Shaping a much deeper picture,
An illusion painting lust so unsure

The water ripples with hidden meaning,
Sending the answer wherever it reaches
Engulfing the shores with its complexity
Swirled In the sands white beaches

In all the pain that travels with the waves,
There will never be an end to our woeful song.
With the water still churning uncontrollably,
Dark blue waves restless under our prolong.

I can see the rough shores that fill with grief,
And the seaside caves that drain in hopes to forget.
And Though the warm tide rolls in with the evening,
I still wait for the night when all it brings is quiet.

The sunset turns to midnight, surely,
Then the sun reigns the skies once again.
Shining brightly, deep inside;
Waves still turning with our loves trend.

As the night closes, and the sky morphs to gray,
I still see you when I wake.
Just a memory; a mere vision;
Still rippling in the midst we make.

What inspired me to write this piece is just the general idea of a beach representing the true emptiness and backhanded results of falling in love- and also the uprising feeling of it.

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame,
Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned.
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die,
You've got to get up and try.

This is so beautiful. I absolutely love the beach, it's my Favorite place to be on earth and it makes complete sense to me how love could be compared to it. This was so beautifully written you sound like you've had so much inspiration, experience and talent. Very beautiful piece, thank you
