Love Poem: Message In a Bottle

Message In a Bottle

As I gaze out over the deep blue sea.
The tide is coming towards me.
I am distracted by something in the waves.
The crashing waves are closer now
it is a bottle coming to shore.
Depositing it at my feet I 
picked it up and 

Inside is a note  which says...

My words of love are sealed in this bottle
sent out among the waves
These are the windows of my soul
reaching out to the ocean to make me whole.
Never to be heard by the one I love.

Wishing I could tell him so...
So I write these words 
hoping  that someone somewhere 
may read them.
Understanding how I ache 
to feel his gentle caress. 
Should this message on the sea  never reach land, 
I would wish for it to be surrounded by nothing 
but the brilliant blue of an unending ocean. 

The Ocean brings thoughts of 
my unremitting thoughts of my love.
Though the  distance is  great his picture 
is still fresh in my mind. 
Whether my words are ever shared by another 
or I am able to look into his bright smiling eyes again, 
I do not know. 
Once again to hear his voice washing  over me 
as he tells me his heart is true, 
would be the perfect answer.

Replacing the cap I throw it back out
to the sea to carry the words away from me. 

Much like a bottle I sent so many years ago.
It is on its way to him 
wherever he may go.

I walk on 
for you see 
he is forever lost to me...
Like the sand washing out to sea
he is some where 
but not with me....
