Love Poem: You, Me and the Sea

Written by: Mau Loa

You, Me and the Sea

We stand on the sandy shore
Our hands and hearts we withhold
Breathe in the unspoken
The words I yearn to be told

Some search for shells and stars
We search for answers to appear
Like silhouettes against the moonlight
Dispelling all our fears

He is eternal summer
Warm smile, glowing skin
The clear, green waters
Of his eyes invite me in

I am swallowed in the swell
Of the ocean in his heart
Drowning in my own desire
The current pulls me apart

He has his eyes on the stars
I have my eyes on my whole world
The warmth of the spirit lingers
A breath of truth escapes, barely heard

Kiss me with your warm wet lips
Still salty from the sea
And whisper again above the waves
How deep your love runs for me

We live our mortal lives away
Stars watching from above
Tracing names in the sand
In hope of eternal love

For now we share our secret
The shoreless dreams we both can see
Whispers carried on the wind
You, me and the sea
