Tidal Wave Of Emotion
~*Marge Tindal*~

You won't know love
until you've cried an
ocean of tears
until a tidal wave of emotion
has picked you up
slamming you on the shore
time and time again
then receded
leaving you lying there
helpless and alone

You will know love
when the waves
gently lap at your toes
teasing you
pleasing you
inviting you
to take the plunge
again

I love this Marge! I know the feeling of being slamed against the shore all to well. Take care!< !signature-->

Those emotions are so strong they are like great tidal waves. What a great metaphor to describe these deep rooted waves of love we ride on to the crest until that tidal wave sweeps us to shore again.....Great poem!

Your words wash over my heart like a tidal wave.  This so beautiful.  I just love the hope at the end of it all....sigh.  Great writing here my friend.

This was great, Marge!  It can be so scary to take the plunge again.  But those who let fear bind them are left standing on the shore alone.  Better to take the risk and jump in with both feet...He who hesitates is lost.  Wonderful work!!

I thought that I knew love
But it must have been a fake.
I didn't cry an ocean
It was only just a lake.

Then I was sure that I knew love
And all it could deliver
But once again I erred
Because I only cried a river.

I have cried creeks and ponds and such
Due to misplaced emotion
But I have never had the chance
To cry an entire ocean.

I've always hoped that someday true love
Might happen along
But now I see I have no chance...
My tear ducts ain't that strong!!

Balladeer~
You can cry me a river
Cry me a lake
How many teardrops
does it take ?

If your little heart
is really in a muddle ...
You can cry me
a teensy little puddle.

You can 'cry me a river
cry me a river
I'd cry a river
over you !'
Love ya' ....

Oh how true these words of yours Marge
Emotions are like a huge tidal wave, we go crashing down and we are in pieces yet we pick them up and start all over not knowing when the next wave is going to hit.

Marge... as usual, there is nothing I can say that hasn't been said twice now, but this is truly beautiful.  So much truth, short and to the point and filled with wisdom.  Excellent  

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.
