Notes About The Poem
written for sea glass contest sponsored by Craig Cornish.
Sea Glass
In the ocean of lyrical words and mermaid metaphors,
poetic pirates steal the gold that glistens;
floating in eloquence,
flowing with diamond tears,
but within inked skulls and bones
names of those that thieve in paper silence~
are etched across sea-glass with searing blood,
as trinkets I once wore are tainted,
and buried within hermit shores.
There, footprints echo and mirror truth of the unseen,
rippling with stolen sunsets and salt-soaked swords,
while soliloquies of the sky,
kiss the marine armor of sapphires…
I ponder, what would the sun now sing to the moon?
Are we aimless vessels ferrying venom?
Are jewels of sincerity, lost within melted memories?
Perhaps, from lagoons of lies, we learn~
life beneath the bluest of waves,
breathes grotesque rhymes woven in ice-cold green.
