All At Sea

all at sea, my restive heart
waters are calm, but in calmness
   moored 
the bounty of a lover's soliloquy
raging torrents bequeath a joy 
you ask of beauty's tapestry, guided
yet do I seek
yet do I fold in conjecture
nature's bliss, consuming waves
   please...
   I ask in limerence
and we, ships sail away

I enjoyed reading your poetry today, I'll be back for more. Your imagery in this one was exquisite, but I enjoyed the last two lines the best ... your use of limerence was a brilliant introduction to "and we, ships sail away". Well done! A FAV for my list. Bill

Ah i always find the word soliloquy so poetic and goes well with a sea themed poem. Beautiful word weaving here.the ending is brilliant and profound too. Deeply intriguing and well delivered. Pleasure reading this.
