I am (The Ocean)

Shadowbox15

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

    I say 'you are a poet"
    (might be some typos here the word day (twice) possibly hit the wrong key? I suspect you meant to type 'say'
