Her Body is an Ocean

By Dragonfly

Her body is an ocean
where people go to play,
but when they visit
they can't escape.
They Drown in her love
as it washes over them
with showers of kisses and hugs

Dump your trash or bodies
in her for her tides will
wash away your sins.
Her coral reef protecting
your soul from breaking
into pieces on her floor
where creatures of midnight lurk;
where even light is too afraid to dance.

For her heart lies there too
in that darkness of night
locked up away
with no where to hide.
With creatures of midnight
who wear her own face.
She feels secure, alone in this place
