The vast and subterranean
depths awake,
An undulating wave begins
to grow,
As tidal currents violently
awake
And stir the bioluminescent
glow.
The hyper- luminescent
sapphire wall
Ascends against the high
celestial sphere,
A fluid, panoramic, sweeping
hall
Where atmospheric shadows
disappear.
Then comes the thunderous,
explosive crash,
A multifaceted, bright
diamond spray,
As liquid glass and ancient
granite crash,
To wash the solitary coast
away.
The subterranean gargantuan dies,
Reflecting iridescent
midnight stars.
aquamarine tide
slowly ebbing and flowing
~ rhythmic pulse of life

They linger on your lips so valiant,
this melded tapestry of shades.
A frame on nails tinted aquamarine.
Vibrance squared is aquamarine,
to peel it back unleashes the valiant.
Potency lies in a spectrum’s shades.
Wild plethora highlights vivid shades,
each one bonds with aquamarine.
Collectively seen as prismatic valiant.
Seize valiant shades of aquamarine.
i ride the waves of translucent hues
in shades of blues playfully reflecting the sun
i exude tones of capricious seagreen and
while scattering flecks of iridescence
shift in tinges uniquely unpredictable
to the core ~ i am aquamarine

By the sea I become immersed
in that flash of aquamarine.
Bubblegum and blisters go burst,
by the sea I become immersed.
Diving into the waves headfirst,
nature's worth a view in widescreen.
By the sea I become immersed
in that flash of aquamarine.
memories of an exotic sun rippled sea
as undulating waves caress a warm beach
i see colours scintillating, bleached
this brings forth images of paradise
and means sublime happiness to me

I dreamt of a siren
with crystal skin and quaint braided hair.
her eyes, slow swirls of undying azure,
coiled around, her salt-sweet chorus
tightening at my throat
The alluring notes
pierce through my rasp scream—
In cold sweats I
wake up nauseous—
My vocal cords enfolded in her skin.
Aquamarine ! Whelming colour
soothing soul, sublime serene !
Splash of sea green waves enchants,
mesmerises, makes mind frolic fresh.
Horizon , coloured in ocean water pacifying.
A deep sigh before the swim,
the silent scream of sunny depths.
Lightweight where dusk and dark dance
and the world above is a remote dream.
Calmness, still embracing.

It lies in between two moods,
with sighs of seas, and breath of skies,
not quite green, with a little dose of blue,
a mid-dream hue, for dainty touch-ups,
to revitalise those bluesy daubs and splashes
aquamarine exudes that dreamy state of happiness
carrying with it the glitter of the sun
while stirring memories of the sea
AP: 2nd place 2025
Like sunlit tides on a quiet shore,
a breath of peace in each rolling wave,
it hums of freedom, soft and serene—
a prism of truth in motion’s embrace,
where hope drifts in translucent grace.

Early morning is the perfect time to walk the beach,
the cool water licks at my feet.
The soft sand is like walking on a pillow,
pretty seashells yell-pick me up.
My day started off with a bit of heaven on earth.
I wear a gemstone locket aways that holds ashes
it has oceanic hues and I get lost in the endless blue
my most precious possession filling me with emotions
of harmony, tranquility, peace, acceptance and calm energy
a treasure forever as mom and dad are within so I am not alone
gazing wistfully
through a deep mysterious ocean door
into a swimming dream of you and me
a confluence of what maybe was
and what might have been
