The ocean is not deep
Its not a beating heart
In your chest as you sleep
As you dream
The ocean is not peace
Its hammerhead sharks
That want to eat
As I swim
But its a river in my mouth
A river of life
The transitory nature of water
You can't step in the same river twice
The ocean in not deep
A game of inches and trenches
A rock on the sea floor
And islands
The ocean is not love
It is continual struggle
Swordfish and coral reef
Beauty and disbelief
But its a river in my mouth
Flowing down hill
The path of least resistance
Reaches your heart
The ocean is not deep
A rock in a current
Soaked and worn by bitter tides
And big fish
The ocean is not truth
A rock has always been wet
Lustful for a starfish
A sea horse rides away
The ocean is not deep
There is not an ocean
Prolific Pacific or tragic Atlantic
I can't walk across
Still its a river in my mouth
You on a shore
Cupping your hands
And drinking
Drink
My love
Drink until your drunk
Drink the river in my mouth
