TIDES OF TIME

Goddess of the Tides

Waves turning
in plumed crescendo
Marking the progress
of time
And you my love
in white
Black raven tresses
flying
in the shoreline
tumult
You my love,
are divine
A sea princess
to tantalize
My heart in passion
longing to love you
But you my sweet
are with the tides
Moving relentlessly,
to and fro
On life's headway's
Always ahead
of the cresting surf
A diva, a leader,
unconquerable
Free, like the ocean
And myself,
following you,
without hope of love
A dreamer, a romantic,
lost in the swell
Unable to connect
Beyond my reach
Tides of time
and you are gone,
forever
