Your Surface caresses – the face –

Warm when the Sun is high,

When the Storm brews – you’re like a Whip –

How the Stars and Moon weigh,

 

Affecting your Tide upon us

Your Voice – is convincing –

Your Whispers – like Salt – on our wounds,

Though, through castles – slicing –

 

Built towards the Sky – by guided hands –

Curling over, crashing

Onto – raw – from tears shed – your Storms –

Born from Vengeance – washing –

 

Tainting what is held at – the heart –

Walls – swallowed – by shallow

Bitterness forced – our way – footprints

Swept – yet – we will follow
