Oceans

OCEANS When lips share a romantic kiss, Can it be, in that intimate exchange One bears a mist And another holds no such cover? Is this a truth? One heart remains the same And one becomes a lover? Or, in that truth does truth-some lie? One has to play and one must fly? Do these polars make the bind? Of seconds, moments of lives, in kind? And knowing truth is a fleeting thing When change and circumstance is king, It fluctuates, in method, like the sea, And truthful lips lie, somewhere, In the waves that be. 21st April 2021

Dear Janine, your poetic pen is so very potent and expressive. Your vivid and brilliant imagery brings the hearts' divide to poignant life, for at one time or another we've been the lover to one whose heart had remained the same. A masterwork of such deep, exquisite and graceful poetry, dear poetess. Congratulations for your excellent win in Charlotte's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
