My mind is an ocean drifting between shores

my mind is an ocean drifting between shores;
deep swells, violent storms, calm sea...
you, my love, are the moon --
pulling me towards you, escaping myself.

and when i fail to reach you, when i crash
in upon myself, cold winds around me,
then i fall exhausted upon my own thoughts
of impotence and frustration.

and when hurricanes whip at me, when darkness
falls upon my tempest; then my waves crash high,
reaching desperately for you thru the bleak night --
my light! my life! my wife!
