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

Your lovely poem underlines our traditional fascination with the Sea and its surroundings.
I love the way you chose to rhyme certain words as well.
Thanks for bringing us closer to the beach. (we don't have one here in Dallas, ha_

A lovely sonnet.
The wording is formal and gives me a Victorian sort of elegance in my imaginations.

I enjoyed the rhyme scheme in this poem. I read it out loud for the full effect. There is something magical about the sea and the shoreline. A melancholy heart soon finds joy in this surrounding. Lovely write here. Lydi**
