The Deepest Ocean....

Walking along the warm sands of the shoreline

My black Belgian shepherd by my side

Sea lions barking, sea gulls flying, towards the sailboats beyond the inlet

Pondering the solipsism, amid soliloquy divisions....

While the winter sun, shines down its solace

As I glance toward the southeast, and beyond its distant horizon

Knowing, within my pulsing raspberry heart, which pounds for her, these melodies

For it is somewhere there, beneath the whispering wooded trees

Where she wakes, she creates, she believes, and, she breathes....

In this maya of a moment I can see her

White silken dress, atop her golden pristine flesh

Blowing gently in this breeze, like an Angel within a dream....

Her rubious red lips, and her glistening strawberry auburn hair, flowing

Within this deja vu premonition she smiles, this certain, glowing gleam

As her endless chocolate eyes, blink, beneath her heavenly painted lashes

While bluebirds and red breasted robins gather, with all of nature, roundabout her side....

Solomons-seal upon my palm, holding the infloressence, as the Parus bicolor begins to sing, 
its lullaby

Tinnitus sounds that twinkle in time, calling, as Tinkerbell, slowly fades away ~

Beyond these tangerine skies so close, inside, these blueberry wanting scenes

Where her words chime, to a longing heart that beats, resounding, from this rising sea....

I bleed, as I fight this space which lies between us

For in my soul, today, she is all that I can see!

Dare I tell her that I love her? 

Dare I ask her to join me, within my own world?

Walking along the shoreline, my shepherd by my side, boats beyond the inlet, sea gulls in 
flight

Pondering the solipsism, amid soliloquy divisions....

While the winter sun, shines down its solace

And I smile, within this deja vu premonition, of what dreams, may someday be?

Tinkerbell dancing, dressed, in blueberries tangerine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Within, the deepest ocean....

Each image that you describe so vividly you can hear the waves of the ocean, hear the sea gulls, and sea lions, this is vivid and again a romantic write, although I detect a sadness within these beautifulll crafted lines. The magic of your pen always amazes! Love, Charlene

John, I wish I could walk with you and hear first-hand your eloquent observations. Thanks so much for your input on "Mideast Military Madness." Ever since I heard about the suicide problem among American soldiers, I have not been able to get it off of my mind. You are gifted! Carolyn

This is a Beautiful write, John. Your imagery is brilliant and phrasing is equally so. A poem of dreams and tender longings. Lovely! Thank you for your wonderful comments. There is good advice in Mamas Warning but I mostly wrote it for fun being thus inspired by the world around me. Had fun writing it and my daughter sings it well. So much truth in your comment about the want it fast and now attitude. Sad. Instead of a passage I suggest reading Bulwark by Brian Strand. Says it all! Love, Robin

Beautifully composed John! So Valentine, the "raspberry heart".:) Your words have created a peaceful setting amidst "sea lions barking, sea gulls flying". The auditory and visual ambience is a spectacular background for your musing thoughts! Wishfully whimscal, tender and sweet...a pleasant and pleasurable read. An outstanding write, John! Wishing you and yours the best..God's blessings! Love to you, Mikki
