Sunken Treats

Sunken Treats Sea swells lost my memoirs of HER Under waves to caustic mire and murk’s DESIRE Never to be seen again, that’s how it IS Kegs of rum float up though, through ghostly grays, FOR Eternity which finally released them, but not MY Note book and papers of my lost LOVE Terrible things are in the underworld DEEP Real emptiness and pain score my lonely FEELINGS Ethereal measures from sea and storm EMERGE Arise from hidden secret depths, WITH Treasures of my sweet wife, love mementos as I wait to see, THE Summoned property that was buried beneath the WAVES Acrostic Contest created: 4/26/2014

Hi Joyce, Thank you so much. I know this is a dark and deep piece. I actually had to employ some of my contemplative faculties to make it work. (without pay of course....We're not unionized.) I guess what I'm trying to say is; this poem was difficult to write but rewarding. Thanks again for your kind words, Earl
