Love Poem: The Rising Tide

The Rising Tide

I can’t erase or even hide
All the things I feel inside
Each time I look at your brown eyes
And quiver with such pride.

For even though these tears I’ve cried
Spilled for you, I smile wide
Each time we fight for one another
Against the rising tide

Of life. Simply put, the world outside
Won’t allow a love untried
And of the love I have ignored,
This one can’t be denied.

We’ll wait until the waves subside
And the tears of life have dried
To love each other with our best;
Hand in hand, side by side.
