Ocean SongA Poem by Lewis Davis-NormanI am like a coral Hydrated by the waves Yet feeble in my form Born from frail beauty I sit upon majestic reef Versing the language of colour Like an aquatic bard In azure waters, sentinel Yet through murky haze I stare Blankly into ocean chasms Fogged by my own metaphor Detached from my core For I am just a coral Dumb towards the world of art Uninformed of what I represent To blinded romantic fools I am just a poem Leaking lyrical charm With linguistic zest Crafted from fragile emotion I sit delicately on the page Reeling out sublime visions Like supernatural utterences. My tones are hums of pure perfection. Yet strip me naked and tease me Apart, ripping metaphorical seams To unveil my simple form A meek, resounding theme For I am just a poem I am laced with elegant lines But the nexus of my being Will be the memory in your mind. © 2013 Lewis Davis-NormanReviews
