The Fate of Ophelia

You light the match to watch it blow,
swift and powerful, revealing its untamed nature...
Creating a maelstrom of feelings
Embracing and showing the deep.

Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun,
Desolation's soft voice, and gaze in a silent exchange,
enduring the bond she shared with both.
Whilst the aureate sun peeks as it
hangs motionless upon the air and deep beneath
the rolling waves in a labyrinth of coral waves
the echo of a distant time.
Steaming stars lingering with dark
with its low lighting, silent speaker
Beguiling the days while nature Inherent rhyme:
adding a placid, quintessential scene unbound.

"When this work is done and this coat is dry,
When this world is too much, it will be
only the ocean and me,"
Tugging away, ruling the passing hours of night and day.
