Gravity

High tides and low tides
    rise and recede,
    recede and rise
    from my deeps
    in desperation,
    as he pulls me in
    day out, day in.

I cradle an ocean inside.

I see him at eventide,
though we stay connected
    day and night.
    He orbits me
       perfectly
   like a devotee!

There’s still a surge,
        an urge
    in my bosom;
  pining at its peak
 as he hides himself.
  
    Another apex
 when he’s aglow
    well-rounded
 in beauty, in love,
though perched afar yet.
          Alas!!

As my waves crash ashore,
     they make music,
         fine verses,
          you hear,
        you admire.
         I go on fire 
    between the lines
          drawn in
             from
        GRAVITY.

Lovely flow, Harpreet like your "ocean inside." Your words splash and flow, crash ashore "between the lines." I have read GRAVITY several times and each time I see something different! That is a poetic gift. Thank you for this journey into your waves. All the best.
