Notes About The Poem

The Sea's Coy Lover

I float in an aquamarine idyll; 
a bird soaring in shallows 
while hearing translucent echoes,
hovering pastel ripples
reminiscent of cobalt depths 
carried on shy currents
to an alabaster beach.

Sun's shimmer tiptoes
on serpentine waves,
pirouettes like star bursts
among the soupcon
of fuchsias and teals
that tease the surface 
like a coy lover.
