Charmaine Chircop Poet Lyric

Playing With the Wind

 The sea has captured her spirit
She's back to play with the wind
Distant from safe harbours
A new adventure begins...

All alone She sets sails
Like in those yesterdays
Without a place to call home
Without a man's tight embrace.

This island girl travels on water
In a dolphins' free world
Away from each pathway
Far from a dry desert land.

She follows the first spuming night-star
In moon -lit shadows She bathes
With dawn's early bird song 
She sketches the sunrise 
and a hundred shades.

 She paints unshackled hands, 
Unforgotten face through all faces
 once met  in cotton clouds' shapes
She scribbles the same name  
on a creased sheet of  paper
 from all other recalling names.


The sea has captured her spirit
She's back to play with the wind
Distant from safe harbours
A new adventure begins...

Surfing on a spring-tide
A sea-man she sees
She wonders in secret
If He's the one in her dreams.

There are rough crossings ,deep currents
and strengths to achieve
Yet She keeps on going
Reaching for the sweetest breeze.

The sea has captured her spirit
She's back to play with the wind
Distant from safe harbours
A new adventure begins..

Mark Peterson July 20, 2018 at 7:23 PM I love the poem, especially the chorus which for me could be repeated on and on.

Brandy Nicole July 18, 2018 at 11:22 PM The wind knows the secrets of love. This is beautiful in so many ways. ~ Brandy

Heidi Sands July 18, 2018 at 4:09 PM So nicely written Charmaine. I enjoyed this :)

Tobey Hill July 18, 2018 at 3:20 PM This is another great piece! You had better let that girl know that some winds are more like tornadoes. She may end up in the land of Oz. I really love "In moon lit shadows she bathes"...it is nice to know that your pen still works....TAH

Charles Messina July 18, 2018 at 8:06 AM Beautifully written, Charmaine. The wind carries life amongst it's breezes...All the best...Charlie

M. L. Kiser July 17, 2018 at 3:08 PM I have never thought of the wind, as an artist or sculptor but, you paint her work well.

Caren Krutsinger July 16, 2018 at 11:45 PM I want to jump on and sail away with this island girl, your imagery has me bewitched, and amazed.

Emile Pinet July 16, 2018 at 8:16 PM This poetic trip though your imagination is, thought provoking, descriptive, and creative all rolled up into a beautiful poem. Your poem express great emotion and carries a consistent theme through out the poem with little wording and that is hard to do. You have painted a picture with words that tantalize, teas and catapult the reader into a fantasy as we experience your passion. Emile.
