Seldom

Seldom can I think of you for the pain always stays.

Blocked from my mind but not my soul
all and all some control
Love comes and love goes
Lovers leave but love holds
So life by minutes tics away
longing grows stronger each day.
   The mist of the sea sprays
memories forever stay...
 The Ocean ask of me where is she?
always together would you be, her I cannot see
  She is in my heart for me to keep
tears from my eyes softly seep
Jealous Ocean you took her from me
separated us swallowing her in your deep sea
why ask what you already know
  Come to me the Oceans shows
images of her upon it's waters blue
together when happiness all we knew
the angry Ocean took her away
allowing me to live to only fade
Join her now for you she calls
into my sea mighty waters enthrall
for she cries waiting for you
her tears fill my ocean blue
 Wicked Ocean I decline
you stolen her for she was mine
Why I came upon your shore
missing her more and more
Beckoning me with your sirens call
hopeless with pain you drown it dull
  The Ocean smiles with waves tall
hear her voice for you she calls
  I blocked her from my mind
all that is left is time
I walk away and drive far inland
to the Ocean I return only seldom.
