Two Become One By the Shore
by michael cahill

The sun falls fast, the moon is nigh--
the ocean roars.
‘Twas here we kissed and said goodbye
...there's always wars
to split young love in two. We knew,
(we thought) this not our last adieu.
Now, no one hears ... my crying pours;
the ocean roars.

Four years can twist the world awry,
dreams ... time ignores.
My soul cannot implore, or try
and settle scores
long left on bloody fields--along
with love that once was true--our song.
Hate drowns me, love no longer soars
... the ocean roars.
