Oceans - of Thought

| Oceans - Of Thought |

Harmonised hypothermia sets 
through the darkened depth 
of the chasm deep,
Like a heavy-weighted wreck 
of my linguistic mind.
As blithe planulae float 
amongst the turquoise torrents 
of the surging tides.
Efflux my porous skin 
that secretes the bitter brine,
Void of lust, my halitous breath.

When will I find the courage 
that guillotine faith;
cut across these saline soothing shores
That reflects like crystalline glass,
that rips and takes.
But, incompetent to see more;
the calm of the sea.

But under tide 
the waves topple above 
like whitewash remembrances
Beckoning me to emerge and find,
Flavours of youth 
in the lull of the sea
So I begin searching of forever freedoms 
in the caress of the breeze.

I say my adieu to the abyss-abundant sea
My love for the ocean;
Is a coral of burnt sienna, 
tipped with lanvanda, 
and blushing pinks.
The azure's solvent divinity 
has annihilated fear
Like an oakum of my sanity
My mind finally carefree.
