bitten by the winter, i curse her slow migration
she tremors the marrow of my bones and bends me
like a hurricane:

and there’s nothing to do
save worship the waves of you, wrap myself up
in your crystalline coat and your fish-eyed panorama
that hangs in the gallery of my eyes:

they arrive no where:

i am sea-wed
my flesh is of salt and my eyes like urchins
my hair, like strewn-out seaweed
and my ears the Borer shell

they hear only you
in this spray of spume, in this sea-wind
at this shore
pressed against the wet grain of sand:

there’s nothing to do

save worship the waves of you.


take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away. but do not take from me your laughter.

sighing

I could use a bite of winter...

even the seasons tease us luscious one

Seems like you've been writing a series

You wear the sea well, Darksis

Or is the sea wearing on you?

Me too, Maree!  Loved the passion in this poem.

You feel and see the sea, in all it's power and ability to capture both heart and soul.
Then you let us enjoy the waves with you.

nd there’s nothing to do
save worship the waves of you, wrap myself up
in your crystalline coat and your fish-eyed panorama
that hangs in the gallery of my eyes:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i am sea-wed
my flesh is of salt and my eyes like urchins
my hair, like strewn-out seaweed
and my ears the Borer shell

they hear only you
in this spray of spume, in this sea-wind
at this shore
pressed against the wet grain of sand:

there’s nothing to do

save worship the waves of you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


you have a gift for imagery and personifi
that consistantly blows me mothy mind...
your muse is poetic gold girlie!!

I'll bare the brunt of your long buried pain
I don't mind helping you out
But I want you to remember my name

I was just going to say that the fish and the waves have been on your mind lately, Maree and you know - I could do without winter tyvm (Buffalo) but God, these lines just blew me away:

i am sea-wed
my flesh is of salt and my eyes like urchins


so unreal, just amazing.

I've read you a few times and its guaranteed that at any given time I something you've written will come to mind the next day and I'll see something I didn't see before.  One time one of your old pictures and a poem you had written left me feeling extremely intense.  Nice write.  God bless.
