Undulating Wave of Love

A trilogy of love: bared, shared, pared Lust's shallow wave crests, cascades, crashes Deeper, emotive swells rise, rumble, release Conflicting currents form rip tide tugging, tossing, tearing Amor's undulating rhythms pulsate Low tide, latent fantasies surface ego to ingratiate  High tide, a endless churning of desires our longing cannot satiate Libidinous breakers scour lecherous bottom; a brackish foam doth emanate In the deeper recesses of our minds, a rational connection percolates From the depths, a heart-felt thrust rises; a growing bond initiates Two, constant minds mutually sharing space; each hope, dream resonates Surface tension increases; two hearts mount each obstacle, common course navigates Nearing balmy shore, strong winds of indifference blow Into eroding channels untested lovers unwittingly row Selfish goals drag the unstable pair into the undertow Corrosive fears, unmitigated doubts sever trust placing love in escrow
