more than 80% of the world's oceans are unexplored

within me resides a love so desperate it yearns to shatter the pillars that keep oceans afloat/ it creeps along the edges of caution that engulf the shore/ gently seeping into the hazy pastel colours of Spring’s sunsets/ & on the tip of that horizon/ there my lover sits/ toes dipped playfully in my flooding waters/ welcoming shy tides that crawl eagerly towards them/ steadying anxious ripples that reflect my desire to love deeply/ –to love fully/ & to love beyond the limits of my human existence/ & as i sink deeper at the sandy feet of my lover & love/ regardless of the seaweed that wraps itself around my ankles/ regardless of the shards of shells that stick through my knees– regardless/ i love// i love my lover with a love that carries the depth of the world’s oceans combined
