Time for a swim


Rose said a woman’s heart
is an ocean of secrets.
And let me tell you,
that little old lady,
with the big diamond,
was as true as eternity.
But something more,
a woman’s heart
is an ocean for a second reason;
the tide comes in and out,
but the motion rarely changes.
That rare day though,
when change is about,
and the passion,
the unknowable depth
you could just sink into-
suddenly changes,
you won't know why.
You never will.
The one thing though,
that you will know.
There is no changing her back,
at least not by your will,
so dive now,
headfirst into those depths
while the pull is in your favor,
for if you hesitate,
all may be lost.
