Spellbound Seas

Raven seas, spellcast waves, ~ singing hate Revengeful tides, strum the seashores with soft cracklings, bleeding kohl ice. Smoked sienna soul ~ a cacophony, from vintage gold-vaults, shimmering with sighs, a saga unheard.

Hello Hiva, These words come to mind in reading your poem: Melancholy and unrest, as if standing at the edge of a tumultuous sea under a brooding sky, and beholding the tragic beauty in nature's at times virulent expressions. Best wishes, Don

As ever your poem is too deep and more on the dark side. I can picture the sea which is raven black with the revengeful tides. l can hear the cacophony too. The 'smoked sienna soul' is an excellent usage....! Such matchless expressions make this poem stunningly beautiful . All the best Hiya!

This one feels dark and mysterious Hiya. Read several times trying to get a meaning but coming up short. Sometimes ambiguity can be a good thing though

Deep, like the sea... the last stanza is 'spellbinding'- out of your vault. Gorgeous. :)

Ah where do i start praising this soul hitting poem that flows with such descriptive words and alliterations in such a seamless manner. I absolutely love the flow and how your opening lines are too. I am so familiar with raven seas singing hate , deluded spellbound! As revengeful tides come crashing strumming pearlescent seashores, untouched and serene, to disturb the peace..i lovee and we love this “ bleeding ice kohl” brilliant! And some sagas sincere and vintage from the deepest edges of
