the swelling of the sea
i feel now
even this far away

i swallowed much ocean
when i was a child
the salt pulling me down
down to where my child's mouth
could no longer cry
and where my child's eyes
could no longer see
i drank deeply
of the salt
of the lust
drank deeply and almost died
but for a wave
that carried me back to the sand

there i lay for hours
sucking the warmth of the ground
thinking of how
there would never be enough tears in me
to bleed the salt out
bleed the lust of the ocean out

i drank much of the sea
and i feel it now
even this far away

i feel the salty lust
in my throat when i see you
i feel the waves crashing
on the pillar of my being
when i touch you
the crest when i kiss you
the trough when i'm alone

if you listen hard
you can hear the waves in my heart
crashing and thrashing
whenever i see you

~yes i know it needs alot of revision.......i have to get used to the whole love poem thing :)
