The Pier By the Sea

The sound of the sea
so close to my door
a blue feeling in my fingers
my spirit is not so blue...

Our walks on the pier
where I am born eternal
the entire color aurora
awakens the sea and you...

Love swim so close to me
madness love me on this shipwreck
the oars and port is breaking
If only I had a boat...

Floating seagulls for an instant would stop
and shout my voice
in such a jovial churn
a simple duel mystery...

Duel of music in the air
the open magnolia of your kisses
dresses the waves of passion
with the passionate view of distant sailboats...

The entire aurora
awakens the sea in you
stretched in a dream
the gulls carry to my hands

Leaving me
two water skies...

It has been so long ago since I've been by the sea. I live in the mountains. Your poem is quite beautiful. Love and prayers to you, Gina

this is so mystical and beautiful. I feel he was dying and yet, not sure at the end there. But I love that ending. was it all a dream? Two water skies. such a unique image!
