Unceremoniously

Worldly rules are rude

Ah! Here, ends my role

Let someone tell the sea

I am leaving her shore

Wounded waves are withering

Though can’t change the course

Devout depth is abyss,

She won't stop me anymore

I adored embracing

Her shades of alluring azure

Drench in briny breezes, now

Swayed by amber to endure

More edgy of promises made

She wasn’t afraid of lies

Beneath wreckage of stars

Tides gazed my closed eyes

Mind is zipping mantles

Twitchy heart; still unsure

A mystic merge in the sea

Is all that it pined for

“Bye” is never “good” enough

 To “move on” breathlessly

 Trails in sand are washed

 We depart unceremoniously
