Iolanda Scripca Poet Choka

Island of One

Dreaming of past gills:
Quiet galaxy around
Bubbles hold my life...

Schools of shadows swim...
I am not an alien here
Mermaids do exist...

Ecolocation
Travels finding your soul near -
Coral in exile...

My fins caress you...
A stranger in your roughness
So suffocating...

Tsunamis of Soul
Reminding me of my lungs...
Refusing to drown...

Shipwrecked but alive
Secrets buried under blue
I KNOW I'll be LOVED!

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen February 20, 2010 at 3:55 AM Iolanda, This choka is full of imagery and emotion. You know, just last night we were watching a National Geographic film about underwater life...especially beautiful, was the coral. So. Naturally, my mind really went on a vista with your words. Nicely emotional. Keep writing. Lovingly, Dane Ann
