Sea Rose

Saw it floating translucent on sea swells ~
extraneous sight in a sedulous life
and yet, implicit hints forever dwelled…

Rising inadvertently, the wavy strife ~

Of what current is this tale’s exposition?
Such draconian love flowed from mother ~
Every facet a fraught inquisition!

Swift, her passions swept further a father…	

Entered:- swifter waters would swoop away
at speeds where nutrients were inadequate
Racing till pink efflorescence was gray...

O’er oceans frothing of worth diddly-squat

So she goes          drifting in the liquid sweep 
Evanescing doppelganger of love’s weep/reap ~

Nice work. I like how you use words as if you own them.
