The waves wash over me
Whispers in my ear
Haunting melody
A song I've come to fear
Pulls me down below
Drowns me in its tears
Tells me where to go
But I just stay right here

And my soul cries out in pain
Grips me endlessly
Then darkness comes with rain
Come to carry me
And I would fall from grace
If they would let me be
In the waves I see your face
Looking back at me

Intriguing title...don't know if this applies, but once when someone asked me why I was standing in the rain, I replied, "I was BORN wet."  Now the visual of that remark
may be disgusting to you, but there is a deeper wisdom there, and you have put it much more nicely, I might add.

Intriguing title ..oh yes...and the word intrigue seems to come up a lot...
as wound up as you were today...I was almost afraid to read this  LOL.....
And my soul cries out in pain
Grips me endlessly
Then darkness comes with rain
Come to carry me
And I would fall from grace
If they would let me be
In the waves I see your face
Looking back at me

very powerful poem...
stalking you still, jm

Yes, this poem does intrigue, it twists and turns, taking the reader with it!

A very intriguing piece of poetry. Anything about the sea draws my interest
