more poetry mayhem

the shore


emotions crash like waves upon the shore
leaving behind the flotsam and jetsam of my life
a broken heart, scars and bitterness
a tightrope of angry words, fists and fury
the tide rushes in bringing with it
peacefulness and longing, 
the hunger for a love that will never die
as the water rises
have i made a difference i wonder
will i be remembered, remembered for the right reasons
the waves keep crashing down upon me
i can see a searchlight out in the distance
is it my love
my love coming to wash over me
to help me keep my head above the water
to cleanse me
i want to feel, i need to feel
emotions that crash like waves over me
engulf me, entangle me, engage me
strangle me if you must
i want it, i need it
wash over me until i drown in your water.
