A Gentle Lapping
Sweet grain of sand.
Please forgive the beatings
that I give.
The drubbing is
based from loving.
Confused me too
but how can an ocean
give its everything gently
gritty grain what’s best
for you gather your groupies
and form a pact
my uncertain waters
I will calm
I will hope
you will see these beatings
as more of a tender curl
a curl that has welled up for
miles of ocean
picking up more water
weight and speed
and details the details
sliding across the oceans
surface scraping the floor
welling up and the undertow
pulling you closer
and in one giant
frothy topped thwack
you’re slammed to
the earths floor
I promise you once
more that this is in love
a gentle lapping
in a soft breeze would
subdue you
not prepare you to
form your own
conch so you can
grip the gritty sand
with your deep spikes
and stand the thrashings
that any ocean tries
imposing
