silence is my siren


as the sea serenades
   sorrowful symphonies 
of marine ruins
   I listen to the crashing
crystals within 
 sun-drenched sapphires 
married to 
     the memories
of once 
     upon 
        a castaway prose
blissfully blocked 
replaying an
   unwritten
               reality 
for silence is my siren
   luring mermaid 
                   moon-flowers
 to an island of 
       spiritual embers
emanating emerald anthems~
  a storm 
             of 
               slithering sepals....

yet unfair is the tide
  hollow and cold
   p u l l i n g 
                 at fragile silk 
of whimsical waves~
a skewed ambience
             lost in mythical sagas
amidst stranded souvenirs 
               sighing 
                   and weeping
   vulnerable verses
                forever yours, 
                              never mine...

IE, amazing how much is lost and gone forever. The sea does seem relentless in its constant ebb and flow. There was a line from "Jaws"...we need a bigger boat. Nothing will last forever as we know. I hope you are enjoying every sweet day you have. Smiles!

Ahh, my sweet ink impress! This poem makes my mermaid heart glow and beam with pure delight!! How absolutely magical is your wordsmithery here whilst layered with so many impactful emotions that can tug at anyone's heartstrings ~ from the imagery to adjectives and metaphors and especially that title "silence is my siren,, wowww!! Everything is just flawless here in every manner!"I listen to the crashing crystals within sun-drenched sapphires married to the memories of once upon a castaway prose" and "silence is my siren luring mermaid moon-flowers to an island of spiritual embers" I love these lines beyond words could describe! And those glimmering alliterations which you've so artistically woven throughout, ahh, just enchant my soul! "amidst stranded souvenirs sighing and weeping vulnerable verses forever yours, never mine..." That ending part is just so evocative!

Dearest Ink. You have penned an outstanding poem here! Like a melody that ripples alone can recall, the way you weave together the sadness of the ocean with the memories of affection that was gone generates an otherworldly atmosphere. Like poetry embraced by the ocean, the prose is fragile yet strong. Great bards like Rumi and Abounawas demonstrate that ideas can and do cross-pollinate, which is something I admire about your last comments. So that you know, I don't remember ever reading your poem. However, I would be very delighted to mimic your amazing style, even though our approaches are different, to foster the fertilization of ideas. Your style is really captivating, and I really envy your extensive vocabulary and eloquence. Congratulations on your contest win. May you be blessed!

Funny how you can live near a lake and not get what the ocean gives. This is what I think of reading this.

When we love from deep within our heart, we give up a piece of it which can never belong to us again. A well chosen title, Ink.

Dearest Inky.This is absolutely enchanting! The way you weave the ocean’s melancholy with the echoes of lost love feels so ethereal, like a song only the waves remember. That last line—forever yours, never mine—hits like a whisper from the deep, lingering long after the tide pulls away. It’s delicate yet powerful, like poetry caught in the arms of the sea. Just beautiful!...Hugs
