Seasick heart

 


I gaze out

over those North Sea waves

as my seasick heart bobbles away.

The deck damp with spray.

I'm feeling queasy.

Is it the wavy water

making me uneasy?

Or is it who I am with?

The love that sits

heavy in my stomach.

The words caught up

like fish in a net

chewing through my guts,

leaving me longing.

Wishing for the depths

to swallow me,

before I blurt out words

that I could regret.

 

I gaze out, vision teary.

What if she can hear my thoughts?

Can she read my mind?

Would she know,

that I'd stop time

if only to spend eternity

holding her gaze in mine?

But as the waves froth like

cream on a coffee cup,

I'm full up with doubt,

if she could see my thoughts,

would she dive out and swim.

or would she whisper back

that we share

the same thoughts within.

 

I gaze at nothing.

I see nothing,

only the images filling

my internal vision.

Words falling overboard,

lost to the hungry sea.

I go over every outcome

and I panic at the momentum

of the thoughts rolling,

like those waves churning

across the ocean below.

Would she see

that below the panic,

below the quiet

reflective surface,

would she see

the heart beating too loudly.

Can she hear it already?

Like thunder tearing

the skies apart.

 

I gaze out over these turbulent seas,

and I feel a pull as my mind

is dragged by the current.

Something shocking me

back into that moment of reality.

I feel her hand, hold onto mine,

and I see her looking longingly.

I wonder how long it has been?

Before all thoughts wash away

like waves in a dream and we hold on tight.

Watching the world passing,

in perfect symmetry,

two hearts finally united.

Beating in time

to the rumble of the waves

over which we both lovingly gaze.
