Erratic

dramatic verse

 

 Oh Poseidon, you disrupt my sea
     Alter not your color for the likes
       Of miserable me
        Your mouth foams in revelry
         As I gasp desperately for
          One remaining breath
           My rosary floats upon your
           Fickle friendship of fury
          For your whims leave me
         With goose flesh as
       The grapevine wraps itself
      Around my throat--
      I bear witness to antiquated
       Notes which deceive
        The tongue of my counterpart
         Scorches this bosom--
          Nevermore do I grieve
          Yet I swim vainly--
         The chastity belt on land
        It does remain
       Drowned dreams of delusion--
     Un-new
   I lurk within the shadow of
 Door number two

Author's Note

Something a little different for me, folks.

This is so dark and mysterious. Very well written A. I agree, it's a bit different for you, yet I still hear your voice in it. Of course, I couldn't help but think of drowning .... being strangled by seaweed on my way down... but that was just a surface interpretation of course. That sea runs quite a bit deeper and you've left it wide open for interpretation.

I'm always a fan of your work, and this is no exception. You have quite a talent my friend.. a pleasure as always :)

expressed from the muses own heart, this poem reaches its height with the supernatural supposition you intel ever so gracefully beautiful, dreamy and
artistic, and your mind is a paintbrush, the your words breeze across the
readers heart as a full color spectrum of fine details that bring this vision of
the goddess and sea to life. thus creating such a masterpiece
that i can help but fall under the hynotic effects of your enchantment
talented as you are Apollonia :)

Your form and flow are just brilliant, and you bring about that mythic dreamish quality that makes reading your work simply wondrous. Deep and beautiful...

I LOVE IT!! dark and wonderful and excellent write my dear!
I really liked the emotional picture painted within the words excellent.
I felt very drawn to this writing and have read it many times drawing from it various pictures and stories.
I loved this stanza very powerful: For your whims leave me
With goose flesh as
The grapevine wraps itself
Around my throat--
I bear witness to antiquated
Notes which deceive
The tongue of my counterpart
Scorches this bosom

Decent, very different from your usual. Good, none the less.

The Ocean always did hold many mysteries.
