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.
