Aboard the Deck of Dopamine

Sea surreal in darkest nets Nocturnal-ness in jaws and tentacled breasts still the thrill, breathless at my thoughts the sea - a catch The sea a catch, oh my stars that settle like flickering candles on tremulous waves The sway, the dance, oh the romance of candlelight aboard the deck of dopamine I resist the thought that I’m in-between cruise ala royal dreams The drift of ebb and flow I fly so slow, slipping undertow, envisioning serpents and maids I’m made for the sea See my tales splash flibberty-thrashing about in a net netting the seashell gold of surf and turf sweet sands that tug my eyes and heart I blink back tears When will we see each other ‘gain, this match of tenderness and angst Let the torrents roar Let the sides capsize Let me touch your silkiness your depths your traps of playfulness. The reader must think me silly as I surrender to the crests and climb aboard to see the sea and sky collide I’m given over and under in thunderous claps to sated and salted direct attack of anything that might arrest my joy my exploration my destination my ploy to dream without danger…

An excellent poem, my friend. Hidden in the metaphor of the sea, all the emotions and feelings of life mixed experiences to be tasted of like a gourmet meal. Thank you for sharing this exhilarating poetry with us, Kim. Another FAV for my list! Your poet friend in Texas, Bill

An excellent use of metaphor here, Kim.. You have done it so poetically.. I found it a a captivating exploration of the symbiotic relationship between humanity and the natural world, where the sea becomes both a source of wonder and a reflection of the human soul's deepest desires and fears.

Dear Kim, What a captivating journey through the tumultuous seas of emotion. The imagery you create with your words is mesmerizing, painting a stark picture of the sea's allure and the internal struggle it invokes. The ebb and flow of your verses mirror the ocean's rhythm, evoking a sense of both excitement and introspection. I love how your exploration of joy, exploration, and longing is felt deeply. It is a wonderful poetic journey. - Blessings, Daniel
