Sometimes, a few words describe an entire life.


I belonged to the sea,

and like uprooted sargasso,

I floated away;

murmurs of waves

pulse through my veins,

and the tidal pools I left

to be flotsam on the land;

 

my ghost ship self

drifts by the glass sometimes

—by the bed that contorts to my form—

and beckons me to go back;

back to the indigo sea,

that throbs as the beat of my heart

back to the sapphire sea

 

to live again.

This poem makes me drift into the ocean shore.
I drift into a liquid state until I can see the seashore no more.

Bravo!

Love the sea and sentimentally like this poetry written by you. Thanks for the sharing of it. The sea calms me and I forget all my troubles when I see it. Go to Atlantic City, New Jersey on bus trips often.

Good write, Gloria. First I've read. Enjoyed your use of metaphors and I'd never thought of a bed "contorting" to our shape. Unique. Loved it!

Gloria,
Thank you for your lovely comments on my poem about Nature, so I decided to check out your poetry and this poem touched me deeply..I believe that our souls are connected to something or somewhere and in each person it is a different place or thing. For Me it is definitely the sea/ocean..I wish you well, and your words are very lovely.
Peace, Love, and Light,
Amber

This is my kind of conceptual inversion, Gloria, and I adore the imagery and metaphor. That image of being flotsam on the land is so strong and full of a salty truth. This is a poem and a style of writing that I can DEFINITELY relate to. Good to meet you! :)) TY Kate xx

I can certainly 'feel' the pull of the sea in this excellently penned poem, and it makes me want to go to the coast again.

This is glorious; it pulses with the rhythm of the sea; it beckons the reader to dive into beautiful poetry, such as this: well done.

amazing write here...its flow and imagery are excellent...it also, as good poetry should do, touch chords. I relate to this completely. Although I was born and raised in the middle of Ohio, I have always had a thing for the sea. Excellent work here.
