Whispers of the Sea

I walked by the sea one day,

And heard a song lost in the waves.

I wondered—was it a fleeting dream?

Or whispers hidden in watery graves?

The echoes swayed, calling me near,

A voice so wild, yet soft and true.

A melody painted in colors deep,

A song of longing, a love I knew.

"I've waited for you, for endless tides,

Yet only now you hear my tune.

Your presence stirs my restless heart,

Stealing sleep beneath the moon."**

I answered back, "Oh, cruel sea,

Your waters shine, but rage inside.

Once I loved you, free and bold,

But found your love a storm in disguise."

"How can I trust, when in a breath,

You turn from calm to wrath untamed?

You drown my voice, silence my heart—

Tell me, is this love, or love in flames?"
