Oceanic Mistress

Oceanic Mistress You are enticing, you are alluring You are my mistress I walk your soft shores today, feeling your calmness and serenity You gently caress me with the lapping of your warm waves I am at one with you, and one with nature But I am wary and respectful of your unbridled power, so easily unleashed Dare to venture into misguided waters and your hidden, dark and menacing tide, could rip me and drag me beneath. Suffering Poseidon’s fury, smashed into the dark abyss This is your world, your domain since time immemorial Neither conquered or controlled by any force or entity You give life and nurture existence, but spare no grace when you take them away It’s Man’s greatest folly thinking we can subdue you You are the one who has tamed us, and, in the passing of a heartbeat, our co-existence will end forever Humanity will disappear, yet the all-powerful oceanic mistress and her tidal beauty will remain.
