The amaranthine sea be-calls me.
Yet, am no river
Endless,
Streaming into your depth.
You and me-
We culminate,
In each other.
Timeless.
An estuary
I can't but find-
Can you?
Or, I'd rather ask-
Do we need to (find)?
Yet, I hear the murmurs
Of the sea-
The music of the lashing waves
Encompass my senses, Whole.
The symphony of the sea gull's touch
Takes my breath away-
A split second,
Of being Numb.
The coral stretch and the sandy shore-
I hear them all,
Calling out
Loud, into me.
Restless,
I toss and turn-
An Insomniac .
The seashell roars,
Violent.
And, I walk over to the sea,
One more time.
Breath racy,
I look out-
A trace,
A shadow
Far across-
A Ship.
(In vain.)
Mist sprinkled all over,
I hold back the disappointment.
My numb limbs carry me back-
To the restless me,
Waiting-
For You.

ReplyDeleteThe sea(I love the sea:):)) and its sounds have transported me to a dream world.Seriously!!!
The reverie introduction is truly excellent.The sounds of the sea are simply breathtaking!!!The restless yearning to meet and be together, while staying far away...Restless,
I toss and turn-
An Insomniac...just wow and wow!
Yet, there is a poignant touch to this write,especially in the last few lines.
and girl,trust me, you have a way with enclosing words in parentheses....Simply love them:):)
Awed and gaping I am, at this one!!!
There is an English oldie song from Frank Sinatra:
ReplyDelete"Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waitin' for me
My lover stands on golden sand
And watches the ships that go sailin'"
&
"We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'"
Your poem just reminded me of this song. I can feel the emotion behind the write dear. Well expressed and heart wrenching- in a melancholic way!!
Kudos!!
