Love Poem: My Ocean

Written by: Mau Loa

My Ocean

Like summer sun upon the water
So intense I shield my eyes
You and me, perfect reflections
Souls found from forgotten lives

No words can truly tell
The beauty of your face
Or recreate the feeling
Of such a warm and peaceful place

You invigorate my soul
Like ocean air upon the breeze
I am a child in the sand
You always bring me to my knees

Like tumbling waves upon the coast
Captivate my wandering eyes
The rhythm of your movement
Can lure and hypnotize

Your body is an ocean
Strong with rippling waves
But underneath is calm
Quiet, deep and full of caves

I’m in wonder of your secrets
Your current pulls me inside
I could get lost in these caverns
Drowning in your rising tide

Then nighttime falls upon you
Cool, soft sands and gleaming light
I yearn to never leave your shores
I become a part of you tonight

As I gaze upon my blanket
Of the night sky and the sea
I find you are my North Star
Pointing me toward who I will be

Travelers come to feel a part
Of your heavenly presence for a time
But I yearn to be the only one
That can truly call you mine
