The yearning heart knows not time, and but a single tide
A perfect storm, unyielding dives that depths cannot confide
Each hour endless and every moment drawn by breadth
On high, a jewel of molten beats to seek uncertain depth

The oceans wept of crimson tides unbound by silken flame
Searched in sibilance of kindred echo, never once to claim
In seeking to be full from shift to shapes in wonder comes
In overflow upon the sacred shores the rush of water sums

The yearning heart knows not of pride or china cups to fill
A single sweeping wave restricts and pumps to fullest thrill
Each blend of carnal waters subjugate of every primal shore
On high, the sea’s sequential rise beseech an acquiescent floor
