What Wave Does Not Tell The Shore

Wave does not tell the shore anything.
She knows pretty well
That she will be annihilated
In his lustful embrace;
Yet she flows to the shore
With open arms
And trembling lips
Her watery nakedness
Her transparent emotions.
In his arms she forgets
the momentousness
Of the union.
About the next wave
Coming after her.
No longer she is aware of
The sea
That is the cause of her existence
And the winds
That kindled her passion.
Now
Now she departs
With twinkling tearful eyes,
Her lovely fingers
Leaves his chest unwillingly,
Shore searches for her
In the sand
As her smile* disappears
Over the waters,
He has to be contented
With the orphans of the sea**
She has left under his care.
Notes:
*Her Smile: The effervescence appearing on the suraface of the sea when the wave retreats
**Orphans of the Sea: The fish, crabs, shell-fish etc. left on the shore when the wave retreats.
