Sensuality

The shore
Long and curvaceous
Lined with rocks worn
Smooth by waves

The waves
Crashing and pounding
Rubbing the sand
Moving it in and out with the tide

The ocean
Roaring and bellowing
Crying out at the sailor
Who dares to navigate it

The sailor
Leaning and tugging
Clinging with desparation
To the vessel that carries him

The ship
Bucking and pitching
Piercing the ocean
Plunging down to the depths

The deep
Quiet and serene
In the aftermath of the storm
Patiently awaiting the next.
