Crystal Sea

Please take me,

To that crystal sea,

Where your arms,

Welcome me

 

In joyous praise,

I long to give,

So much love,

As you once did

 

Your waves wash,

From sea to shore,

It is only you,

That I adore

 

In you alone,

I place my trust,

A love to keep,

In the ocean deep.

I like the flow of this but it feels like the start of something..... like there is more to come?

I would almost add a complete change of pace, an ending perhaps, but thats just my thought.... It is always a compliment when you inspire other writers to write, so well done honey.

"For then you came....

You tore at me until I broke,
Lashed at my heart and made it choke.
In your sodden arms I cried,
....You squeezed at me until I died".

Thank you, Julian, for allowing me to see the ghosts of Chistmases past, as it were.

Beauty and Wonder are in your words.

This is beautiful and lovley. I like the way it was arranged and it was joyously wounderful. I like it!

Congratulations Julian on your achievement with this delicate poem. I wish I had reviewed it sooner- when I was pondering across this site in secret after leaving. The images are so vivid and crisp; clear like the flow of water trickling down a ink stained page. The water submerged these words together angelically! Well done.

I Think this flows so nicely! I like the short lines and to me it doesn't seem like it needs to be long and drawn out. Its short and sweet with a good rhythm that makes it memorable. Great write!

I see you got mixed reviews on this one. And while normally I only give you my personal opinion, I feel I must also look at the reviews as well, in hopes that it helps.

Yes the lines are short, but it keeps one's eyes moving through the poem. Not all poems are ment to be lengthy, some stand magnificent just as asort bursts. As I think this one does. Also contrary to another thing, the change of your rhyme doesn't throw me off balance, it shows both versitility and flexibility.

Poetry, at least for me, is not rigid and unchanging. It's free flowing and ever changing. Just as life and people are ever changing.

For me your subtle changes are viewed as a metephore to just how changable life and circumstances are.

Good... No Ecellent Job!
