waves

There’s an ocean inside my head,
Waves of thoughts, unsaid, unread.
If I knew how to stay, to be still,
I’d never leave, against my will.

I feel your spirit touch my soul,
A steady force when I lose control.
Anchored by you, yet drifting wide,
Lost in currents where shadows hide.

Your voice, a breeze that stirs the night,
A whisper just beyond my sight.
Tides of longing pull me near,
Only to fade as you draw clear.

Through winds that rage and skies serene,
You are the echo, soft, unseen.
In every rise and quiet deep,
You are the secret I dare not keep.

If I could stay, I’d hold my ground,
Though waves persist without a sound.
Still, in the depths where light is thin,
Your presence always draws me in.
