Analysis of Love that drowns oceans



I want a love that drowns oceans.
With the rage only ocean storms have in store,
And bursting floodgates of emotions.
With beauty like the ocean floor.
Love flowing in wave-like motions.
Comforting like the beacon of a lighthouse on a safe shore.

A love more vast than the seven seas.
A kind of love that makes one new.
But such a love is rarer than shipwreck mysteries.
To find it you must evade those who intend to harm you,
And search fervently with a hope that never flees.
One day it will find us as long as we continue to pursue.

But once it's found you must keep it alive.
Swaying not from random waves or notions.
It will be tedious but we must not let it die.
For it will be worth all the pains and emotions.
For a love like this with the fishes I'd lie.
For this love can drown even the mightiest of oceans.
