Mimic the silence before performance, watertight
incentive flawed by dawning waves, in barriers held
the hearts ever desired flow over sands, purifying
a immunity from whores and vices, a solid hue carried
deep inside, sharks jealousy ravishes, so arrogant and rude
a flaw only known to their growling and bloating bite
sinful wayward killer whales strike, but love harpoons
purpose to reason, our waves intermingle with dominant power.

I love the imagery of the sea, and the rolling tides will roll for eternity, this adds alot of depth to the stark imagery of this poem, and its circling life.
A nice use of title, perfect I feel.
