Notes About The Poem

Space Mermaids

The elliptical sea, ageless, timeless without fathoms depth
Of the eternal degree, its finite waves ushering against the
Everlasting shore of tranquility’s rush, a liquid vacuum of inner
Special waves, crashing against the coral rife of life itself.
Beneath serenity's surging, under the undertows splashing,
Lies a world within a world, beauties sacred personified,
Swimming in this elliptical sea, of the ageless, the timeless,
Without fathoms depth of the eternal degree, behold the
Immortals of this aquatic special zone.
In the silence stirs the vibrate light of mystery, in brilliance
Disturbance hides enchantments ledges, swirling ascendants
Diving within reflecting beams of solar flares, mingling amongst
The tail endings of comet dust, and purging the surface breaking
The wake nature’s stillness.
Galactic mermaids snapping their flippers at the rings
Of Saturn, gliding mariners obsorbing the heat from
The white dwarf sun, and bathing in the cooling pools
Of forgotten moons.
Drinking from the icicles hanging from the big dipper handle,
Feasting at the bouquet table of the thunder gods mighty
Shore line’s shoals blackened waters, exist this twilight
Beings of beauties most fare.
Thrown are nets of imagination, cast away are the
Vessels sail of inspiration, materializing admits the
Stormy wake of gale force winds, a universal 
Hurricane and I a lone captain striving, to capture
It’s tidal beauty by quiled inks pen.
I’m on a ponders vision quest, searching for perfection,
Yet lost without sextons credence, this dream seeker,
Can only worship these immortals by thoughts provision,
Left in isolation's dreaming realm, swimming amongst
The solar mermaids, in this eternal sea, ageless, and
Timeless without fathoms depth of degree.

Perfection is reserved for God...we poor morals must somehow deal with what nature and God deem fit to supply. Emile.

I bow to your excellence, Cherl! I am captivated by your creativity and its flowing rendition. Your galactic mermaids mesmerize as they lap at the bold imagery that you put on offer. Well done! All the best. // paul
