The Ocean of Your Love

Your love sweeps over me

like pounding, grey waves.

It covers and surrounds me, 

like the coursing sea.

I could not live without it;

can hardly bear the thought

of one day without my ocean

of a day when you are not

near me, with me, wanting me.

You save me, you keep me

floating and moving.

You know what I need,

you understand me.

You are not perfect,

and neither am I.

Yet we belong together

like sorrow and a sigh.

Never leave me, ocean;

please stay close

And forever wash me clean

with your wind and waves.

The torrents of your love,

they make me whole.
