Grecian Tears

the roaring tides rolled in anger 
sat beside me nothing else as I
began to slowly slip into my self 

consciousness consoling my inner 
most thoughts catering to a rather 
chafe metaphor beseeching counsel 

embracing righteousness anxiously 
covenanting bitterness wildly tamed
emotions creating solitude a vague 

rapture mastered my minds eye
withering madness sunk into a sultry 
need for wrath in a strange time of day 

capturing malice reaching morbidly 
for candid cries the seas mist kissed 
the shore once more balancing upon
 
fragile shoulders of vintage broad banks 
slashing stone into the rivers edge 
entering myself hence soothing the Nile

Amazing Poetry Yolanda, you take there the reader, the words beg him to sit also and witness tour words roll along the shore. Noticed you have been here since march 2011 just one month before myself. Nice to read your poem, will try and get around again soon. Harry
