A Double Ethree / Shape Poem.

You are a movement of waves set in a sea of endless dreams, a symphony so sweet lost in a cove of roaring passion, crying tears that salt your sorrow, you feel the deep blues of the ocean as you voice your Siren's deceit. Singing the sad songs of sailor's lament, the distant pain of those lost at sea, no more in time, as souls stolen from lover's embrace, distant, on sandy shores, their fight, futile, knowing they have but one love the cold, dark, heartless you. 02/11/2021

Hello, James! So nice to meet you in this exquisite poem. I am also an artist & appreciate words in visual form. Here, I found it really helped me into the wave-flow of the music of the poem, accentuating the sound of the rhythm of the words.IMHO a true poem. Thank you …sally

The sea can be such a vicious jealous lover, leaving so many souls abandoned on earth. Hauntingly beautiful words dear James.
