Cloistered
Take this ocean whose mirrored image
turns on a whim of tide-led passion.
Watch how her writhing motion hinders
calm surface as stirred liquid reacts.
Take this vast sea whose saline terrors
ring the knells of many a sailor.
Mark how her breakers heave swelling
attempts to sink homing boats per se.
Take this huge lake whose rimless vortex
washes my wait in watery distance.
Know how much desire cloistered shores
hold for parted lovers saltily missed.
