Just leave me here
in my hammock by the sea
for all have forgotten me
especially
my last hurricane
named...love

While in her eye
I had no fear
for pain wasn't near
just blue sky
in the eye
of her love

I could ride the waves
of brilliant white caps
secure in the conclaves
filled all of lifes gaps
as I nestled myself
in the eye high above
the oceans commotion
safe and secure
in the eye of her love

Then one day
as quick as thunder
the eye will close
and I suppose
the edge
is what makes
one jump from the ledge
with past mistakes
clutched in the fist
of fate
as one will await
the outcome
of her love

So please leave me
here in my hammock
by the sea
let the ocean's tide
bury me
the verdict
I will abide
for inside I have died
and I'll have to quietly refrain
from another hurricane named...love

You just need a gentle breeze if you please.
Settle in that hammock...sounds like a wonderful way to muse....

...altho, If I mused a poem, it might be entitled
"ZZZZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz"
if I allowed my self to go settle deep into my seaside hammock on the lanai.
I had just better walk, write, and sketch in between chores.. hehehe
Thanks I enjoyed this melancholy write, Dennis!

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa
