We floated happily for a while
upon parallel blue ocean waves,
taking in the feel of love with poetry.
Crested moments swept us out to sea
then back again to reality,
while landlocked mentality
kept all but poetic passion at bay.

Somewhere upon silent silver-laced shores,
our mutual mental meanderings
slowly washed away love in a mourning tide.
So much useless debris, flotsam and jetsom hearts
tossed about like yesterday’s seaweed,
left to rot on the beach of dreams.

I sit and stare in solitude from my vantage point
on a quiet jetty that seeks to reach across the seas,
and wonder what happened, what went wrong.
And as the sun sinks silently into the brooding sea,
I listen to the pitiful screams of seagulls passing by me,
and wonder if the sounds I hear are my own pitiful cries
carried off by the crashing surf?

I think many have been in that position, just none have put it so beautifully. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Liz...Carpe Diem

It has always seemed to me that the sounds of the gulls somehow adapt to reflect the mood of the listener.

Very nice writing, Ma'am!

This particular wave left me shaken to the core. Powerful work Kacy.

A seagull pooped on my sons sandwich once when we were picnicking on the beach..

It's a funny family story. My son wasn't amused.

Anyway...I digress.

I loved the penetration of sadness from this Kacy. You pierced me.
