Seven Faces *First Revision :)

Note:  I think it needs more work.  I usually do not work on what I write - I like to leave it as is.  For some reason this one caught me, so I'll be refining it over time... perhaps it'll never be done. Anyway...

Seven Faces

She has changed like landscape
over decades - time passing
from wilderness to city,
Nature to concrete.

She is the seven seas,
mapped to the ebb and flow
of the tide - she has
her highs and lows.

Her moods rise blue,
red, white... then fade to black -
drowning in the horizon's
cold bitter-salt - kisses.

She is both peace and rage,
lapping gentle waves
rearranged with a passing
torrent storm - raging into madness.

Her eyes flicker with passion,
on and off - dull to bright...
Grey shadows hover - clouds
over take midnight blue.

I struggle in her current,
gulping her in - breathing her,
Silently sinking into her -
Confusion in black
