Sea Thoughts Close your eyes feel the soft velour fabric of the sky wind whipped with children's glee tunes hushed into the crash of earth water To walk in sand is as elemental as the need to dig holes smooth to shape feel each grain blessed then taken back into the play Down into the bubbled belch of time is where chimera begins and ends The kiss of it perfumes old bones blesses the skin with a thin veneer of flux and flow slow turn of moon like menses of a woman her moods can strip the skin and make man fragile then turn his head until he knows no skin could ever take him there and leave him spent and heaving air then lay him down in pale curve of land ‘til hiss of sun falling in awakes the dark [This message has been edited by Martie (07-22-2002 06:42 PM).] |

  (big hugggsssssss) Oh Martie, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I love the ocean so much and dream of living near it, my Joanna lives near Palm Beach and I dream so much of meeting her there and sharing a wonderland with her! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Martie - just a wonderful poem - so full of images and feelings - I love the ocean and walking along the shore - this took me there - these lines were just incredible - I loved them! like menses of a woman her moods can strip the skin and make man fragile then turn his head until he knows no skin could ever take him there and leave him spent and heaving air then lay him down in pale curve of land ‘til hiss of sun falling in awakes the dark thanks for the great poem - Paul |

The kiss of it perfumes old bones blesses the skin with a thin veneer of flux and flow slow turn of moon like menses of a woman her moods can strip the skin and make man fragile then turn his head until he knows no skin could ever take him there and leave him spent and heaving air then lay him down in pale curve of land ‘til hiss of sun falling in awakes the dark

To walk in sand is as elemental as the need to dig holes smooth to shape feel each grain blessed then taken back into the play =============== I do love the images of this. Hey....we need to do the east/west or west/east beach trade. Water's real warm on this side. Now when I take a walk down to the shore, I will have these beautiful thoughts from you to enjoy as well. Should add much to my visits. Superb imagery and marvelous thoughts you bring us always in classic "Martienific" style. |
