by the sea

I miss the sea
As one improvised party
On a bridge of Istambul,
As a disappearing girl
In the angle of a populated street,
I miss the sea
as a foreign language
as millions of glances
frienly and opened,
As a space which offers me
the infinite greatness of its presence,
As a present of Cristmas,
As a loving smile
Which is transformed into river,
I miss the sea as a mountain
to which I don’t know what to say,
As a forest perfume
Where we can lose our past,
I miss the sea as jewels
Which shine on accessible wrists,
As the air which I inhale in your eyes,
I miss the sea as you,
As the birds which cross you
And block the road of the sun,
But a wave takes away the sea
And suddenly everything has to be rebuild.

You dare to put into words your deepest thoughts and visions and the result is grand!
I love this poem, dear Yann.

Love,

I love how this reads, yann.  It's so filled with yearning and yann (sorry, couldn't resist).  Anyway, I follow your poetry and never fail to enjoy it.

Lovely use of metaphor and of imagery, especially seaside imagery. We wish for prosperous calm in reality, yet even fortunate in love our metaphors are continually rebuilt.

Wonderful ode to the ocean.. I`m loving all of the new simile you`ve used to describe the yearning for the sea!  Suberb
