I am inherently patient,
I just go with the flow.
I have many dark secrets,
No one will ever know.
Sometimes I can be shallow,
Sometimes I'm dark and deep.
When you look at me closely
Your face is what you'll see.
I do not have a sweet side,
I am saltier than most.
Some say that I am frigid,
As cold as a raging ghost.
But my beauty is unsurpassed,
Outside as well as in.
Poets seek to describe me,
But I can evade them.
And, Before you know me very well,
You cannot imagine my age,
my ancient stories tell,
Nor count my many graves.
When the storms of life are pouring down
I get angry, destructive, and mean;
I’ve only allowed one Man I loved
to walk all over me.
All else take care , and beware,
My moods wave up and down.
Just as a ship, those who trusts in me,
I'll break, and rend, and drown.
