Harbored Desires

Moored

These harbored desires

Are slowly eating away at my soul

Like the ocean's tides on a seawall

Marred

Pitted

Cracking

And crumbling

Yet

To release them

To the ebb and flow of my whims

They would soon rise to become a tsunami of desires

Racing

Raging

Destructive

And unstopable

Until

Having spent itself

What was once a tsunami

Is but merely a ripple on the flooded plains of desire

Softly

Spreading

Wider

And wider

Yes

It's best to keep those desires harbored

Safely sheltered in the bay of tranquility

And I'll spend my days rebuilding the seawall of my soul

Endlessly

Labouriously

Patching

And repairing

These seeds,if given any water,grow out of control with the quickness...If we don't stand guard at the gate of our emotions,they will tear us and our world down.Thankyou for sharing this,man.:)

Very nicely done... somewhat calming, in these 'troubled times'... it reminds me of a poem I once read with a similar subject, but about a couple mutually controlling themselves and using a fire-water analogy instead. I haven't read you in far too long!
