i
once i was alone
in an ocean
of tears-
stranded,
drowning in this
ever rising tide
of despair
somehow i found you-
ii
hope, whispered to me
and the ebullient tide
of your being
gently caressed
the sandy shores
of my heart,
with the edging
waves of your charms-
iii
once i was alone
and lost,
then i found you-
your love saved me
from this ever raging
undertow of
loneliness,
before it had engulfed
my soul~
