PoeticPassions

An older poem:

I lost you that day
On the shores of eternity.
You were engulfed by the sea;
Taken as its prisoner

I trembled as I looked on
Across the crescent of the moon
Your silhouette slipping away
Into the unbridled waves.

I lost you that night
To the fervor of the sea.
You left like a ship
Commanded by the stars
Into the Unknown, the uncertain.

Now I never go back to the sea
For I am envious of its freedom,
Of its courage to rage and roar.
Envious of its incantation over you

The sea stole you away,
My love
As if your heart belonged to its depths

And I granted its desires;
I watched you drown
in its maddening yearning.

For you were never mine,
But always the mistress of the sea



and the new one...

Like the seagull's cry
Reminiscent of solitary
Days at the beach
Your words puncture
My gauzy breath

The salty taste of
Love's leftovers
Fills my mouth,
As if eager
to be swallowed

Swallowed into the sea;
As the gulls scream
Under the disheveled sky,
Ready to crumble amongst
The clouds.

A wreckage is no
more and no less
Beautiful than this.
