pacific

Mist kicked up by gusts
Far off places leave their scent on beaded drops
This ocean is mine
Each cracked angle of foam that never stops
Licking rocks to sand
Ever making patterns on my beached mind
Floating natures toys
Buried in your breath for me to find

Hello tecoyah,

The imagary in this is lovely.
I think it may help though to make the lines flow into each other a bit more joinedly rather than set them as seperate sentences.

Perhaps something like below.


This ocean is mine,
with mist kicked up by gusts
scenting of far off places on beaded drops (...)


A bit of rearrangement to wording and a pinch of puncuation could help bring this out a bit more flowfully; and it is worth it indeed here, for the imagery and the idea you have expressed very well.  

Thanks for sharing your work.
