Andrea Dietrich Poet Rondeau

Inside My Aqua Dream

Inside my aqua dream, a man, bright-eyed,
stood beckoning to me in ocean’s tide.
I saw him from the shoreline of a bay.
His eyes, reflecting blue of water’s spray,
were tinged with green, and I was mystified. 

A wave came crashing, and it multiplied.
The man’s eyes shone like sea in sun of day,
and then I knew. . .on land I could not stay
inside my aqua dream.

The mesmerizing stranger spoke; I spied
a dolphin that appeared and gave a ride
to both of us. We clung to silver-gray,
and jumping on the ocean waves, away
we traveled. How I longed to ever glide
inside my aqua dream!

Robert Johnson July 30, 2012 at 9:29 AM She gladly drowned when she heard the sound of the ocean calling her. His gentle charm could bring no harm when her heart he would coyly stir. She ran and jumped into his arms that swallowed her up whole. And now the two would join together eternally one soul.
