you are a vast ocean,
a tumult of waves,
white crests that break
on the sandy shores.
lost in the endless
expanses of water,
long you have been
swimming blindly.
i don’t want a love that
is wandering aimlessly,
so i capture your waves,
black ink drawn on pages.
but you are more than
an innocent sentence,
a simple paragraph,
an enthralling chapter,
you are the whole book;
i read it over and over.
taming your seas,
please stay with me,
just for tonight,
and every night after.
