Existence


















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.

  1. Ahhh,Sash!You never fail to impress me with your expressiveness:):)

    The 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!!!

  2. There is an English oldie song from Frank Sinatra:

    "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!!
