Gypsea

Gypped by the sea, the tossing
yanked a breath out, carelessly ~
Propped on a cliff edge, a deep
surge, swept over the hopeless ~
Escape came from birthed love:
A Nymphean with eyes of aqua ~

I love this, very beautiful. Fragile and exquisite. Emphasis on fragile. One of my favourite poets is H.D. You may or may not have read. H.D. had a love affair with the Ocean, in more ways than one. This short poem of yours is exceptional. x

thank you...yes, nothing like the ocean to make one feel extremely fragile! I had not read H.D and that poem was interesting. I did have to look up murex - incredible! My daughter went to Ireland and came back with a variety of dried Irish mosses of which I had no idea what to do with and had to google recipes from the cold Northern seas :)
