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

Good Morning Hiya. Good Morning. I found this extraordinary in its entirety starting with the title. Truly. I love the sea and have since I was a child and yes spellbound for certain. (smile) Entries and poetry such as this is why we read. Thank you for sharing your skilled talent and pen. Have a wonderful morning and weekend. Blessed are those who have the sea within their soul. Peace Blessings and Light always. (smile)

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!

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
