Forbidden Love

 

He stood upon the cliffs awaiting the sunrise

Watching as the last of the moon descended

Anticipating the light meeting the sea

Listening to the waves kissing the shore.

 

As the tips of light began to reflect

He saw her on the rocks below

Sable hair embracing her shoulders

Skin so pale against the sea washed rocks

 

He watched as she finger combed her tresses

Humming softly to the morn

A siren song to warm and greet him

Watching, yearning, wanting more.

 

She must have felt his eyes upon her

Green met fawn linking sea and sky

Caressing, calling, passions rising

Heart beats crashing with the tides

 

Both knew magic in their souls

Part man, part hawk he spread his wings

On gentle currents down he drifted,

Softly landing on the shore.

 

But soul mates they could never be

For she was not his kind

Through eyes that glistened with briny tears

She bidden him good life and goodbye

 

For her world was not of air and sun

Her world was wet and blue

She donned her skin and swam away

As selkie maidens do.

Both knew magic in their soulsPart man, part hawk he spread his wingsOn gentle currents down he drifted,Softly landing on the shore. ---------- my favorite lines. great poet, you are. thx for liking my clown poem. this was about society and how someone living as a clown has a higher quality of life and more honesty than all the others, the followers, the liars, the corporations the pretenders..

good to have you.
