Tumult
Waves crash the shore with power and grace
Disparate and weak when compared to your face
Your gaze demolishes me crushed
like sand
I am demolished and rebuilt by your attention - tall I stand
My heart is like the sea infused with tumult and peace
Your touch mysteriously entices both - neither tumult nor peace cease
Your touch demands mine - I am compelled
Touching becomes union you are finally indwelled
Waves crash and they cease they ebb and flow
Overtaking power like we have never known
Crashing and receding in ecstatic rhythm since the beginning of the world until it’s demise - there is nothing comparable
Intimate - always comfortable
