love is like an ocean

love is like an ocean
gentle prairie grasses
haunting moon haze
tinkling wind chimes
a kiss to someone's face
love is deceiving
sometimes unbelieving
love is the glint in pastel eyes
 windswept places inside my mind
 longing embraces
The heart that races
In every drop of music
every sunshine cloud framed day
love is elation
and dreams full of joy
a crescendo to the senses
and all that life dispenses
a beautiful feeling that arrives
and the ascending elation it derives
love is simple and slow
fragmented and congealed
both closed and unpeeled
like what is light and what is dark
what hides and what knocks
leaves you in shock
and then makes you smile
love is an ocean
that makes infatuation increase
high tide and low
shot through the heart with an archers bow
both fast and slow
a magic potion
love is an ocean
