Love Poem: Relationships

Relationships

Relationships come to life with strings 
With umbilical cords attached
At first glance there is a chance for love
Tears get in the way of true romance
Build emotional tidal waves on rocks
Where oceans separate the lands
With crashing memories and understanding
That leave quicker than they came
Sand mingled with the rain and sanity 
Bonding with the soul in memory
Beating with the heart in Spring
Looking out to sea
Reflected sun on mirrored liquid clear
Rolling harmony on blue
Pounding out relationships on distances
To find the one
Taking comfort in the calm
