Sea Of You

Within my soul lies a sea of you
Washing my shore in its oceans of true
The waves of love that skim over me
Fill my heart with tales of eternity
I’m blessed by the softest touch of you
It ripples over me I feel brand new
Each day I cherish the thought of this
That I am transformed by your loving kiss

Inside my heart there’s a special place
It’s bedecked with love and filled by your grace
No pain can enter while you bide here
I’m free from all doubt and released from fear
Your sea of trust floods the all of me
The deeps that rise within to set me free
My shore is brushed by the waves of you
The setting and the rise of a love still true

In the pool of softness lies your sigh
Brushing over my soul with pure breath’s aye
The shallows where I’ve paddled before
Give way to your oceans mightiest roar
And to the power of your embrace
I cede my soul to you in saving grace
The sea of love doesn’t frighten me
Not while I hold to your hearts certainty

In oceans of you I bathe my soul
Then I rise from the water clean and whole

Marsha


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Marsha,

Beautifully done.
The Sea has always been a source of romantic inspiration for me and now it has one more reason to do so.
I look forward to reading more from you.

Thank You,

Mushy, you are getting very good at this...
NOW I am going to have to put a real barn
burner on the pages blue to keep up with
you....Surely you won't send that wicked
wench over here to bother me?????

I’m free from all doubt and released from fear
Your sea of trust floods the all of me

Love is so often a feeling that defines our existence but beyond the powers of our limited vocabulary. *S* Not here, though... *S* This doesn't come from the pen of imagination but from KNOWING. *S* It's heartwarming and absolutely beautiful. *S*

Mushy,
how beautifully soothing is this.
But I am reminded of the story where Jeffrey and Georgina go to the beach for the first time and Jeffrey says, "roll on mighty ocean, roll on."
to which Georgina replies "oh look aren't you clever it's doing it."

When you do romance the oceans cease their restless roaming to listen.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
