LOVE Poem: Sea Swept, by Jenice Yoon

I met her
By the waves

Her dark hair flowed like seaweed in the tides
Her eyes reflected sunlight, glittering like the pearls
And her lips, a light shade of pink, a coral reef
Her smile was the sun, giving life to all

If she was the fish, swimming in the deep
I was a fisherman, throwing all my bait to catch her
If she was the jewel, resting on sand
I was a pirate, searching the entire ocean to find her

Then, we parted
Under the waves

Her hair tangling and blinding our sight
Eyes no longer full of light
Her lips going pale as a coral bleaching
While her smile tried to reach me, one last time
We sunk to the bottom
Like a treasure box
To never be seen again
