I am the ocean-
from an objective glance
one might say
I am predictable
my tides
my moods
are just a reaction
caused by
my moon of emotion
I inch closer to you
then pull away
the moon is my master
and I am but a puppet
to her
wade in my shallow waters
before venturing further
for your own safety
study me first
before exploring my depth
I have swallowed innocent people
whole
when they did not
know what to expect
their bodies will always rise
but I have drowned their souls
in my darkness
not something I am proud of
but they
should have known
what they were getting into
inside me there lives
demons disguised as sharks
lurking
until you show your
vulnerability
once they smell it
they will hunt you down
and abuse you
for their own advantage
but when you get to know
my secrets
my waters
my soul
I promise there is
beauty
in the underwater foliage
I can show you sights
you have never seen
as long
as you remember
when to pull up for air
just bring a life vest
and don't say
I never warned you
not
to swim too deep
