Through endless nights I stareFateful decisions running endless
Haunting guilt carried on the mare
Tidal optimism crushed by crashing swells
Echoes of harrowing fright carried breathlessly
Wind ripped sheets, storm tossed rig
Cracks of sightless thunder, Flash of mocking lightning
In laughing blackness I dwell
Heart beating in rhythmic desire, Soul void of life
Cries unheard in unabated isolation
Shakenly I taste sweet salt of tears
I close my eyes and feel soft breathing
Long flowing hair so gold and pure
Skin wonderfully delicate and delightlful
Silently I wait, For an Eternity I wait
Our love will bring us back together

Beautiful piece about love and longing Scott -- well done!
Wonderful imagery, infused with intense longing.
That was true to the heart and very moving. Thanks for sharing.
i wonder why we think that those that die in the sea live forever... hhhhmmmmm....
Thank you everyone for your kind words of encouragement.
Like a pearl of the seas

Perhaps Anonymous..........perhaps! Thank you.
Hope in a bottle. Lovely!
You wrote such a beautiful piece here about love/longing and placed it with the ocean. I think everyone can relate well. Keep up the good work.
Have a nice day.

Very powerful and haunting!
Scott, loved the line "In laughing blackness I dwell". Despair always seems to mock our mourning. Powerful piece!
Wow this is so romantic and you are so descriptive. "Cracks of sightless thunder' I love it. Have a great day.
