Oceans In My Mind Poem by Rodney Dufault

These oceans in my mind/ cause erosion over time/ always exposin' what's behind/ my handwoven coastal line/ like emotion I try to hide/ kept frozen and undefined/ not open for someone to find/ unless chosen by my own design/ words unspoken are wasted rhyme/ so with poem I'm sayin' mine/ I awoke one day then died/ when something opened up deep inside/ set into motion my redesign/ with devotion to Lee, my bride/ from the moment that we combined/ I felt the commotion in me subside/ felt more oaken and fortified/ while holdin' her by my side/ interwoven and intertwined/ unbroken amidst the grind/ through corrosion and suicide/ child stolen from you and I/ but we showed them and we just climbed/ now we rose again and we just fly/ with our son, golden in our sky/ above these oceans in my mind.
