I Don't Need An Ocean

i don't need an ocean
to feel
the taste of salt on my lips
or hear the relentless white noise
of the waves beating out
tidal rhythm
in the shell of my head
or...the total caressing touch of
engulfing sea
a l l
enveloping me,
when the merest sound
of your smile spins
cocooning moonlight
in all directions about me,
and the throat of your
murmur, low and animal,
pushes me into
that
god-i'm-drowning-in-you
forever
...[the end is important in all things......
...( i feel like a bird flying into your window,
...trying to get in, trying to get in) ]

my feet touch beach
and feel the compression of sand under them
{as undulating sea nuances }

Beautiful and powerful words.

The poem left me with good place and pleasure thoughts. I agree with the words. Some people can make us know the sea and the forest with kiss and embrace. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I loved the angle you took here,could have done without the bracketed text,the poem stood on its' own.
Well expressed and written.

This is so gorgeous and I can almost hear your voice through these lovely whispers and your wonderful heart songs..

I live just minutes away from the beach, and I could just wrap myself up in this and purr like a full-bellied cat!

Very much enjoyed this, Anne...and it was wonderful to meet you!

I've always associated the sea with something peaceful and totally unlike what you've made the sea to be, and I have to say, you've done it so well and poignantly. Feeling like drowning, hearing the crashing of the water 24/7, tasting the bitter taste of it as often as you hear its crashing. You illustrate the sea so skillfully as well. Well done.

I know nothing about poetry. I only know what I think/feel after reading. I like this. I feel it. I think it speaks to many readers. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around "...your smile spins cocooning moonlight..."
