Pearl Diving - Part 1

"Pearl Diving" (Part 1) He had wondered where to put his Quill the ink pots were all dry he lived in his little world in the mountains somewhere up near the sky; he was seeking a new story in the Winter of his life he was done with making any woman ever again his wife. He was adamant now, that all must be “unconditional”, he was weary,”I’m over it”, he thought with sleep, “Why must Love always comes with a price?”. So, he took to taking Chocolat and a book to bed, this was now his keep. “Better this habit than be dead”, he mused, underneath his burning sheets. When a man whispers, “Diamonds” all the honeybees draw near but there are jewels far more precious than what’s shipped in little sharp boxes clear; he needs to go mining with his Deep Sea Diving gear and dive into an ocean fathomless dive deeper, drown all his Winter fears. The Ocean was his first big love and it was calling clear. At the bottom of that ocean under dark and heavy brine there lies underneath all the sand somewhere a clamshell lying tight, sublime; It’s captured treasure lies in sleep dreaming in her salty milky mucus purse she wriggles around occasionally when she is seeking dirt. The clamshell spits dirt out when found and lets the fishes flirt, but it keeps it’s treasure tight within safe from all that dirt. This jewel it keeps, is shiny, luminescent still, is hard, no diamond crystal clear she’s aging beautifully and keeping herself sub-octave in the blue for a shark with virtue true. This is what she misses when she dreams alone so pert - Sharks if never, are mostly seldom, ever true and what would they do with a Pearl? They most probably, wouldn’t have a clue?
