The warm sunset rays cast themselves upon the tame sea
Dancing on slow moving humps of blue,
They meet the shore with a gentle swish
Gobbling up footprints left behind with joyous laughter.
We have an endless soft blanket before us on which to paint out future,
The past is washed clean, and all we need to go forward is the touch of each other’s hands.
It is only you and me - the rest of the World doesn’t matter,
Happiness has been defined in a single day...
But alas this is not today,
Today is a recurring dream.
Here is gone.
 
We have become adept at convincing ourselves that we know what we want - who we want
Blind to our own inevitable growth,
Maturity, wisdom, ambitions, desires, dreams.
Our ocean is made murky by socially constructed pettiness
Expectations, perceptions, but very real uncertainty,
Uncertainty that strangles one, causing a head-rush of confusion
A bottomless void that can’t seem to be filled.
 
A few beeps from an electronic device becomes a make or break moment,
Silly, really
But the will to make the dream reality overpowers.
Left alone in a painful silence
Forced to allow over-analytical thoughts free reign over a once clear state of mind,
My ocean becomes cold and muddy
Please, get me out of the frozen dirt.
 
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing they say,
We try to understand the emotional heart with our heads
The way we are conditioned to,
Futile, really.
Sometimes the head wins the battle,
I break my fingers to make a call, but that’s all it is...
 
Love is about giving – giving involves trust,
Love is giving someone the ability to hurt you but trusting that they won’t
 
There’s a place I go when I’m alone,
Do anything I want, be anyone I want to be
But it is always us I see there and I can’t stop myself from falling,
That’s where I’m going, where are you going? Hold it close, don’t let this go,
Dream catch me – catch me when I fall
Take me to my ocean that I have seen before,
Let me meet her
Show me what I know will one day find me and become my reality
 
Everything’s wrong, but it’s alright
