Analysis of Saltless
Jade A. 2006 (Louisianna)
And I must say,
You were the first,
To ever make me burst,
Into tears of joy,
That were saltless,
Ever-dauntless,
Tearing down my fortress,
No more to say,
Words can’t reimburse,
Your love that bests the worst,
As I cry in joy,
You exalt us,
Make us faultless,
Great wave that befalls us,
