[x]

gone ripplingwhere hope dies weeping
weathered tears of cold decay
impervious beauty springs
in radiant cascades

clad in a lucent mist
veiled silence that commands
a furtive resurrection
of warbling promise

unwitting splendor caught
in a fluid moment, trancelike.

or, is it?

olden taste
of nightmares gone hope

breathe in
the unsullied beauty

desire is wild

wisdom
is a nomad

wander, soul
further and ahead
drown the past, deeper
if you must

but never forget
how to trace your footsteps back
to the knowledge of pain;

even memory
would rather un-remember
desolation.

Silvergoldto flow is to last
to outlast
to have found
ever-seeking

fluidity of enchantment
liquid dream
awake, I touch you
aglow

tidal priestess
of ripples and magic
bound to everflow;

I know what forever
tastes like.

EurusLike a sunbeam, freshly brewed
within the throes of gentle dawn
bustling promise, unuttered
light from shadow, unfettered

like warbling spring, spurting dauntless

flood me, drench me, finger-feed me
with all I would believe in, athirst

release me then, avidly sated
perpetual herald, faith-full.

treevial soliloquyLeaves like butterflies
are kisses, pieces of me
have fallen like rain.

Reflections never lie
unless we seek in vain
to see what cannot be.

I watch me shed
another love affair
with fickle autumn

Fragments of memories
blind eyes floating
on a withering face

of water and sky is
the palindromic essence
of my still fate.

I silently embrace
the long, cold wait
of winter's bareness.

aft and aheadwinds of change
blowing faster than
I can adjust my sails

perhaps I stubbornly refuse to
perhaps it's why I broke the compass
even though I know my course is set
in spite of me

(I want to tie the world to the mast
tweak the rudder and feed the ship
to the siren-wraiths, anchor-less
forget-me-bound

then swim to you unbounded
watching Ithaca
as it sinks)

let me be foam

run me through your fingers
feel me bubble, underneath
your smile of sun and swagger

let the ebb seduce the flow
and chase me, over the horizon
forgetting for a night(dance)

that you can never catch me.

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

As the title says, this is a spontaneously written sidekick
inspired by the adorable

Ballast Sailor boy, lover of the sea--
I harbor my own notion
of the way you see me:

Vast-eyed and open,
still, broken as a sunken ship,
unstable as your waves;
sun-bleached victims
of the wind

Of you, I see a tide;
a clear-eyed student
of the ocean's teaching:
rising
and falling
to the occasion

Sailor boy, lover of the sea--
Side by side, never
shall we be

I dedicate it to her with much much love.
You go show her some too - you so won't regret it.

This is a gorgeous piece and does well to get the mind wandering.
Simply beautiful. You and your words...

*halcyonshores May 16, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

You flatter me more than I can say.
With all my heart I thank you.

At me, the sea withdrew." - Emily Dickinson <3

I thank you for the beautiful offering.
She is quite a favorite of mine.

~Nephtalia Mar 27, 2012 Professional Writer

And mine. I'm so glad you liked it. She was a brave and beautiful woman who deserves to be immortalized more eternally than Ozymandias, and loved for more than her sexy dash fetish.

*halcyonshores Mar 28, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I so enjoy your playful, confident and 'contagious' aura.
Keep on shining.

~Nephtalia Mar 30, 2012 Professional Writer

And I enjoy your calm and centered aura.

It's difficult to find people who are passionate, especially about literature, who are also centered and intelligent without the usual need for pretension. That is why I choose to share with you. You are intuitive and well-read, but also genuine. Namaste. Love and warmth from a random stranger. <3

*halcyonshores Mar 30, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

wow.. I don't recall encountering anyone before, that can 'read and feel' the way I do..
I know for a fact that what I just wrote will make absolute sense to you.

I am incredibly grateful for your words, random un-stranger. I truly appreciate the choice
you make to share. Namaste indeed.
