Oceans Of Love

Jake Starr 1980 (Illinois)

For my heart is an ocean
Pouring out deep into you
Since I've drank of your potion

Rolling tides stuck in motion
Forever swimming in blue
For my heart is an ocean

Fathoms in you a beacon
A light that shines brightly true
Since I've drank of your potion

Your heart is my reflection
A wild wave that came into
For my heart is an ocean

Two hearts rage in ambition
For the wild garden it grew
Since I've drank of your potion

For its more than honey spun
Forever two wear one shoe
For my heart is an ocean
Since I've drank of your potion

Jake Starr

I love to write on many platforms and poetry keeps me in check and refined. I personally prefer strong emotional output and imagery if writing or reading. If it's philosophical, then even better! In my spare time I run a discord server for sharing in many subjects, but mostly poetry and reading it out loud. It's rather new and so is a lot of my work. I've been absent for years after having work stolen and profited on by several industries and many people. It's been a troubling time for me as a writer and I wish everyone the best! Hopefully my new adventure of launching a magazine and writing for it becomes a reality! Feel free to inquire about my discord server or magazine in the works! more…
