I am (The Ocean)

I do not lie 

when I tell you that

I am the ocean

I do not lie when

I say that I’m treacherous

do not come to me

and beg for

a drink

you will only find a salty reminder

of what I am not

I am not

the sweet rainfall of

tenderness you want

I am not your Dead Sea

of silence

when I say I am the ocean

I say I am the raging 

tide

I say I am the 

deepest blue

I say I am

home

to dolphins

and sharks

do not search me for the 

measliest pearl

because

kiss me now and you unleash

all that I am

I am the ocean
