I have denied the ocean's roar. Still, I wait for you by the shore. Two worlds connected by heartstrings. Is this truly what patience brings? My insight and logic at war. I left but I cannot ignore. You cannot wilt on this seafloor. Despite the ground, your presence clings. Rose in the sand. The sun's blindness has made me sore. All I do for you is adore. Even if my universe swings. Tell me, will you come if wind sings? Don't leave me alone anymore. Rose in the sand. ~ 8/13/18 Contest: Rondeau Poetry Contest Sponsor: Joseph May (The number of the image I chose was #2)
