Ocean Dream

from the sandy bottom
up periscopes 
from depths,
hidden in the sea 
of thoughts,
through an ocean 
of memories

scanning the distant horizon,
in vision 
my rising sun
as my waters swell
a saviour,
my soul motions

drifting a wave,
dreaming 
beautiful sunshine
drop anchor,
paradise with palm trees,

the ocean calls
touching beautiful colour
handing out 
mother pearl,
this treasure 
from deep

my mutiny 
abandon ship,
lost 
on this island,
alone with you

upon the rocks
on this sandy shore
I sit 
holding hands

in the spray
of beauty
like a rainbow
colour of light
you

to romance
the very stones
on the rocks 
that you sit
merman
calling to you
mermaid

I love fantasy poems such as this one!... Such beautiful imagery that you put into this poem!...Sometimes love can make you feel like you are on an island, because you see no one but them.... I loved this one, too!...Great minds think alike once again, I am posting a poem about mermaids tonight!

In the beginning when i joined poetrysoup i wrote something about a mermaid.This reminds me of those sweet times..Of course your poem is much more beautiful then the one i ve written back then.Your poems are like words i want to express but somehow cannot.To be lost on an island is always an adventure..They say treasures are always found.Lovely dreamy post.
