The sea pulls hard upon the waiting shore,
As my heart strains toward thee, deep and wide;
Its restless waves repeat what I adore—
A longing vast no distance can divide.
Each surge confesses hunger without shame,
Each tide returns, though driven far away;
So desire moves, obedient to thy name,
Unstilled by time, untamed by reason's sway.
Beneath calm blue, a darker passion sleeps,
A depth that storms and silence both conceal;
The surface lies, but truth forever keeps
Its pulse where buried cravings learn to feel.
O sea of want, both perilous and true,
I drown, yet gladly, in my thirst for you.
