Where the Wave Spoke to the Boulder

What the Wave Spoke to the Boulder

Let me kiss your exterior hard, and caress

Your soul with a gossamer-touch; my

Love for you is unfathomable like the sea

Around; I like to assert myself every time

To touch you with my softest feelings;

You are rough and rugged, and I am

The unwavering, with single-minded devotion,

Yours only, the wave;

Many times, winds would blow me away;

Sometimes, I am in a sombre mood, and

Keep a low profile; but even in those Moments, I visualize you through my mental

Eyes; I can still feel the pulse of your

Pulsating heart crooning softly my name

In gay abandon;

For centuries, you have been a rock, and

Myself a flowing watery diva; though

I feel that there will be a change of heart,

Of the Supreme Creator, and we will be

Transformed into beautiful fairies; we will

Then enjoy fully the beauteous universe flying

Together into each-other’s arms ecstatically;

Till then, this extraordinary combination of

Hard and soft will survive the ravages

Of time, and our love songs will reverberate

Into the hearts of teeming millions;

Let us enjoy, in the meanwhile, the envy

Of the wind, the azure sky, the bright stars,

And the dancing and playful seagulls.
