The Lovesick Sea

Lovesick Sea

My heart knew you before
I began to feel the grip of time,
before the world rolled out
to meet me like a red carpet,
before I knew what it was
to be brokenhearted.

My heart knew you long before
you stepped through the winter doorway
tossing me on the love sick sea.

Even before that, my heart knew you
like the first blossom of the first spring
and knew you would be in every blossom after that wherever I go humming

The title poem form my 9th e-book of love poems in the Valentine’s Day series. For a limited time you can grab a free copy at the link belowby entering code THECURE in the discoult field on checkout::

I was lost in the ocean
of your eyes; lost in an ache
I can’t control and
I will not forsake.

If ever I’ve had occasion to pray,
this is it. I’m not yet on my knees,
but now that I am in the grip of time,
I am hungry for everything you teach me
about loving and letting go
