The heart, now released
yearning for respite, is punished
again, left to wander
the merciless ocean

bouncing along the towering waves
scraping the shells that break over
the foam

if only to bury itself
where it can peacefully mourn
and land in the arms
of the great mother sea

finally free
from its captor called Love.

Gee, my friend, hopefully this doesn't mean you got a "divorce" (from marriage or just a relationship)...rather is just a write about the reality of . . . that was my first take on this anyway -

Either way, or even if wrongly interpreted, I really like the way you worded it.

enjoyed,

Yeah, the lust which turns to love has a very fickle way of maintaining that which it is, Emma. More than likely these days it all fall by the wayside, broken, forgotten and "free" for want of a better word.
