Dark Tides

The sky is starless in a black opal night

but the full moon is discontented~

The insecure sun coveting moonlight,

 and ebony winds are disenchanted...

Dark tides murmur within cold-blooded seas

as emerald seaweed clings to the shore~

The cold dark waves beckon and tease,

while a fabled nymph seduces deaths door...

Upon a sunken vessel of pleasures

 is a harbor in the deep sea trenches~

Skeletons in an ocean of treasures,

 blood rubies, and bones of pirate wenches...

A beacon light warns of treacherous shoals,

within bleak ocean of lost phantom souls.

Rose, I love it, and the picture is gorgeous, one of my favorite themes - pirates, and the lure of mermaids.
Where do you find your pictures? Skeletons in an ocean of treasures... As Sami says, all beautiful lines...

I said I was changing access, and to clarify, not to the Cafe, but to the Internet. It will be done on Friday.

I was excited to win 3rd and 4th Places in Summer Kickoff - Discover Life's Treasures and Mammoths to Mountains... Diane

True, true - I am not leaving the Cafe; there are so many interesting people, including you, and stories and poems to digest. I am exchanging information with a writer in England who is researching the history of American Indians..
I am participating in a digital story showcase through a local college's Writing Center, later in the month. It seems as if the "gate opened," and opportunities are becoming available.
I don't need to tell you, I am thrilled. Diane
