Best Pelagic Poems

On a fine April day, set out in the great cruise ship, Titanic,
Into the pelagic waters of Atlantic, with the weather alluringly sweet.
Plush it was with beaming fellow travelers and amenities astounding.
A journey of great excitement under a star-studded sky at night.

With the crew so...

It's overwhelmingly with sadness, a feeling of sick
That you thought you had control of me like magic
There's no gasoline covering me, put away the matchstick
The emptiness that possesses you is tragic
Your words are just a glass house, mine are the brick
Sails are at full mast,...

Beneath a veneer of  sapphire waves,
Rays of sunshine make fingers of light,
Ethereal, over crusty,  pink coral forms.
Atolls that rise from stark white sand, create
Tunnels for twining eels and twinkling starfish
Hues of rainbow anemones  mingle with
Tangerine flowers, resplendent along
Avenues of pelagic growth, draping...

Form: rhyming couplets

Sandy tracks, still and dormant, lie await for us,
Virgin sands of Malvan beach, its breeze my body salty caress.

Through the grooves of coconut palms swaying tall,
We trudge to the sandy shores backpack and all.

Green thatched leaves. Crowns of...

Thirsting to touch the Spirit of Ages
Rediscover that which I did misplace
A sparrow that fell out of time and space
This gilded door, travelers courageous

Glorious songs, birds escaping cages
How strange to meet your mind and not your face
Deep, yet anonymous touch of this “place”
Open, free hearts...

Death greets those who dive too 
deep in dark pelagic hell; tossed 
from jagged rock to vicious coral,
she stays the corpse’s dance,  each
impact destroys a little more; her slow 
explosion attracting hungry fish


All see her, bar gossiping 
annemones,  Cinderellas of the 
midnight tide,...

lovely, is love
wings of a dove

kisses feathery as snowflakes
like heavenly sent sweet magic
lost in an ocean pelagic
ethereal until daybreaks

like heavenly sent sweet magic
but, there are days when the heart aches
and there are days when my world shakes
lost in an ocean pelagic

lovely, is love
like heavenly...

Place: Malvan beach, konkan, Maharashtra, India
By: Sashi Prabhu, Date: 3rd march 2012.

As I   trudge along with fancy and conceit,
Tender soles and bare feet.

Sandy saunter through virgin sands,
Pathways lead up to blue waters of Malvan beach lands.

A groove of coconut palm stands swaying tall,
Shady...

" All the tears I cried were gathered to the sea 
and transformed into a beautiful pearl holding my dreams"

Do you ever lie down in grass and gaze,
pretend no duties call and let mind float,
play which knight wins the furious battle
somewhere in the wisps above daylong haze?

A lizard morphs into war time schooner.
Raise those sails! Ready the scope! Man the wheel!
Take a journey crossing...

Those wooden meant to for all season,
Blue painted motored boats beacon,
Us to calm green sea waters,
To sail on and that’s all that matters.

The calm green waters dolphin rides,
Deep inside when the tide subsides.
Eight pals and two sailors sailed on
On a boat with the rent haggled...

Blue carpet waves,
White foam gyrates.
Cool breeze blowing,
Beaming sun growing.

Low flying crows,
Fishing nets throws,
Slumbering dog packs,
Dry nets on wooden racks.

Lone fisherman rows,
Sea gulls numbers grows,
Around water dripping nets,
Pelagic fish they ferret.

Silver silky waves,
Low flying eagles braves,
Sand shacks longboats,
Orange buoys afloat.
