The Ocean's Pull
The ocean spray had engulfed me
Like a silk blue sheet, it washed over me
As I gazed into the serene, starlit, skyline
It had just become night, the sky engulfed in the moon’s light
A reflection of myself in the tumbling water
Shone through, making me realize I wanted to spend it with you
Now dragging my feet in the sand
All I could see was you and I hand in hand.
And so, I made a quick stop, its strong, sweet scent attracting me
And so, I strayed nearby, to the flower shop
And so, with you on my mind the entire time
I left with a handful of blossoms, bright, brilliant, and beautiful.
The bouquet I had bought
With beauty like Aphrodite
Had now shown me
That it was you who had set me free

I was inspired to write this piece after visiting a friend during a disagreement. We not only got to forgive each other, but also strengthed our relationship because of it.
I hope that other people begin to feel appreciation for those in their lives because of this poem.
