Bone Beach


Relentless yearning tints unrestrained
the spectral edge of the halcyon horizon,
where the nascent scarlet sun unveils 
the facade of the decorous dawn,
brings to me across the million miles 
of dreaming detour corridor,
the sparkle of the sapphire sea, 
shining with the tinge of avid allure.

I stand whelmed at the finite fringe 
of the primordial vastness vista.
Its ceaseless vigor coiling 
the collapsing crests of the swelling waves,
once had brought the relics 
of the drowned mariners to the shore,
returned with their memory 
to the fathomless serenity of oblivion.

The embrace of the silver sheet washes 
your bone-fringed footprints on the beach.
As the melancholic waves sing 
to the moonbeam ballet of the blue night, 
I search for my lost mermaid, 
floating away on the stardust trail,
and sets sail on the serenading winds 
to where my heart is.

A rolling pebble tossing lonesome 
with the rhythm of the tides of time,
I’m submerged in the sea of sanguinity 
of the rapturous reverie.
Through my fingers I don’t let 
the golden fervent sands slip,
for I turn the bones to ivory, 
design a dainty diadem for you.
