On the ebb and flow of love, I castaway.

On the ebb and flow of love, I castaway.

She lies naked, beautiful, graceful

with swaying palm trees( flowing hair),

idyllic views, blue on sunshine;

a No Man's Island.

While my love caressed 

her silken shores,

her temperament- rebellious, elusive;

interrupted, distracted....

by the seas of love.

Continually visited

abandoned by tides,

I too found myself swept

off her Daydream Island.

No sooner left, looking

over my shoulder

another lover lapped her shores.

In the essence of her beauty

I perceived as natural laws;

simple but heavenly;

her beauty sharing,

inviting, transcendental,

I realised I  was no more

but a silhouette in passing

a time in her shadows

only I  and others 

adored.

My pleasure.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i and others...yes the key...she opens her shores to many and truly embraces none....

and yet even if we know better we get caught up in her tides...

if only we were true sailors we would know how to navigate through these tidal waters!

like you have been castaway from the world
