Gasparilla Isle


oh Gasparilla,
you are an emerald isle
sea salt rocks splash tears
carelessly at feet in pile
lighthouse helps to find
undercurrent direction lost
when angry storms seize
breath and soul in toss
sea grapes surround you
in land locked up tight
blankets of velvet stars
gently comfort you at night
I walk upon your memories
in whispering secrets you tell
hidden between sand and water
searching for the perfect shell
these are sad sea stories
but I listen as I’m told
a heart
that once beat
in tune
now
empty
in my hand
is what
I hold



"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice

There you are.

I knew I could find you along the shore

as always, a meaningful collection of shellthoughts & starfish words, dear poetess.

May the ocean always speak to you and bring you inspirations for your gift.

love,
reg

It could not find a better resting place

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
