Sailing The Seven Seas


The sapphire seas 
show in seamless 
turquoise spread 
the perfect poise 
of unique aquatic 
equanimity of enormity
harmoniously sparkling 
lilting luster
of cerulean sky
reflection echo 
resonates with 
cobalt whisper 
of waltzing waves.

Platinum periphery 
embroidering embellished
lustrous lattice
of drifting cloud
corrugated clumps 
suffused with
silver sunrays
of cupid’s arrow 
adoringly enticing 
entrance overtly
the ancient mariner 
to embark upon 
a new voyage 
of attrite atonement   
for he has left
in supercilious stupor
the seventh sea 
unsailed.

He drifts desolate
with disquiet trepidation  
in quandary qualm
on the clarion call 
of swaying uncertainty 
lurking latent
in languor swells
of steamy sea
the archaic essence 
of his forlorn life 
anchored enamored 
on senile shore 
the quaint ship
sails sanguine 
from antique quay 
of safe sanctuary
on southern wind 
blowing beguiled 
with perfumed promise
the serene soul 
serenades content
to the tranquil tune 
of the shredded sail 
silently promising 
to take him 
to his new home
harbored beyond
the seven seas.

Dear Subimal, I’m enthralled with the sea, the sky, the spirit.. I was swept up and away on the flowing imagery of your beautiful, mesmerizing, spiritual verse. I adored “antique quay” along with many other intriguing word pairings and sparkling strings of alliteration. Exquisite poetry! Congratulations for your win in Brian’s contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
