Heart Of The Sea

Sonnet

Dark night cool waters beckon love come forth

As its lapping echoes from shore to shore

Drawing waves kiss the sand and beg for more

Come, come love, listen intently thenceforth

 

Black waters viewed 'pon a cloudly blue night

Seagulls, pelicans have flown away home

Ocean's waves offer up varied honeycomb

Lovers have kissed again and taken flight

 

The heart of the sea's depths offers repose

Enticing addulation 'pon the waves

Short visits somehow many hearts enslave

Come again as waves stir evening primrose

 

The heart of the sea beckons juxtapose

Melancoly spirit thoughts now oppose

What a magnificent poem, you wrote it to beautiful..
This poem explores the allure of the ocean as a metaphor for love, longing, and the complexities of relationships. It suggests that the sea, with its serene yet tumultuous nature, mirrors the emotional states of lovers.
Loving the imagery used, very rich and enhances the poem a lot more. And the rhythm varies slightly, but the predominant meter creates a lyrical, almost song-like quality.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem

Thank you, Amy, for the visit and kind review of my sonnet. I do have problems with doing meter. I guess I just don't have the rhythm. LOL..Sara

[Amy R]

Nothings wrong with the meter, don't worry. Was beautiful. 🌸 You're welcome

Very sensual as you portray the lapping waves as a lover's tryst....it is also a bit mysterious...."short visits somehow many hearts enslave".....I love the rhythm as it coincides with the waves of the sea...a very emotional poem...excellent penning
Warmly,B

Your poem is beautiful and evocative. The way you describe the ocean and the night is both vivid and poetic. Your use of rhyme and imagery is particularly effective, and it helps to create a sense of wonder and magic in the reader. I think that your poem is a testament to the power of art to help us process our emotions and connect with others.

Excellent.
Dark is the heart of the cosmos that beckon us. Racing waves of solar energy. The ocean ripples with moon's reflections. I wish to drown in the yellow orange hydrogen furnace. I wish to drown in the shine brine the reflect the same shade as my hazel eyes. I wish to drown in love, in awe of all the wonder this reality has to offer. Let it swallow my poetic soul, leaving only a lite littering of poetry in my wake, and I will die a contented fool.

nice one ... kudos for using the sonnet form .. i am terrible at it and must work hard to produce one .. i have a favorite line .. this one:
"Drawing waves kiss the sand and beg for more" it lends a hungry eternal element for me .. and who has not been hypnotized by the sea .. even a hills and forest man such as i! i feel serene having read your poem ..
