By the Seaside

Overgrown ivy and queen annes lace
forget-me-nots in bloom again
spilling from a window box
where the morning sun beams
underneath a faded awning.
Displayed on a sill are starfish
assorted sea shells
and a piece of driftwood
in the shape of a heart.

Seafoam in the mist
and rainbow shades in glass vases
compete with the view
filtering the light with ease.
Shifting shapes
like a stained glass kaleidoscope
sifting sand pebbles and coral hues
that blend into the shoreline.

Where the water is warm
and the weather is cool for June
a sea-maiden emerges
tepid and timidly she steps
from the wake of waves.
Adorned in opal essence
and porcelain blue pearl drops
offering treasures from the sea.

Translucent in the morning light
she glows in the stillness
surrounding her in dreams
she lowers her eyes in a half gaze

watching while you sleep.

Bluesy gal, you still collapse me every single time I read you and this one touches deep for me, and this makes me long to be near her again.

I thank you all for your nice replies.  Sometimes it hard for me to express how much it means to me....I just hope you know.
Poetry is about creative expression, and sharing our feelings.  It's about encourging one another and the truth is,
I am a poet (I like to think) because of your support and the time you take to read me here.  Again, I thank you, sincerely~

A very beautiful seascape you have penned in the poems, BluesSerenade. I'm with Alison! I'd like to live in this seascape. Sounds like a much more pleasant place to be.

Seafoam is one of my favorite colors, it holds so much life and constantly is giving ....

I have always been aware of the warmth your heart contains, and the glow it retains.

You have filled this with a window garden, still life, and so much more.  I so like the idea of a perpetual sea giving birth to pearls and exquisite  visitors.  This maiden also carries the wings of morning.  Lithe and lovely touches, these touches of sense and soul.  Simply gorgeous!
