"That the powerful play goes and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"

The seas are raging against us.

This opposing current and tumultuous weather

could keep passions locked in an eternal state of hope. 

 

Even so, there is a certain loveliness to feeling a feeling that mustn't be said. 

 

There is an art to falling,

unwilling though it may be.

There is iridescence in emotion. 

 

Possibility is surrounded by unconquerable storms

and yet, I cannot help but love to sink into love with you.
