The Sea of Love

The ebb and flow that comes and goes
      with ocean’s deep emotion shows
   that hearts, like knaves, become her slaves
         beneath the undulating waves.

Excitement grows as hearts expose
      amid the tempting tide’s repose;
   surf’s breaking roar laps on their shore;
         hearts enter through her luring door.

The ocean knows, as passion grows,
      the secrets that they don’t disclose;
   these hearts on fire with wild desire,
         waves pounding as their needs require.

The ebb and flow still comes and goes
      while sea of love, these hearts, depose,
   and lust’s decree will always be 
         a product of this stormy sea.
