O’er the Seas this Angel Wishes

By Jack Ivey

 

O’er the seas this angel wishes

Windswept dreams and blowing kisses

Breakfast tides awake the shore

Ever loving, ever pure

 

Oceans green and aqua blues

Tinted morning shimmered hues

A wisp O’ wind doth touch her hair

Of tapered breezes for to share

 

Upon her vessel pearly white

Is born the beauty of her sight

So calm at peace and rest allure

Wonders cast from sculpted shore

 

Adrift to catch a sunny day

Amongst the waters she doth play

O’ eyes of brown and skin divine

To call this perfect angel mine

 

I stand the beach in searching of

That soon my heart shall find her love

As rippled waters bide their time

Of deep expanse O’ natures wine

 

To sail these waters castaway

I fall upon my knees and pray

This angel sweet atop the sea

Shall find her way to only me

 

Find this day as it does smile

For lone she waits in precious style

Of shelled delight and smooth of wake

To bring within my heart to take

 

The song of coastal oceans main

I long to wet her kiss again

And o’er this dream it can bestow

To sail within her wings once more

Wow, there was a lot of imagery in this write, I loved it. It was great, Jack! :) I love how you write about love so passionately. You explore the theme of love so well.

// Upon her vessel pearl white
Is born the beauty of her sight
So calm at peace and rest allure

I loved this stanza, it was amazing!

As always, I loved the language and the wording, it was amazing as always. You blow me away as always, Jack! Yet you do not only explore the love of the persona for this beautiful angel amongst woman, but also the way that nature itself seems to bind to her will

This was full of light and a wonderful poem to read. Keep up the outstanding work, my friend! :-)

Thank you so much sweet Sye. This was always one of my favorite poems. I appreciate you searching out some of my older work.

[Angel]

Oh...
Jack, I absolutely adore this poem!! This is officially my very favorite poem of yours that I have yet read...

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much sweet Angel. Happy you found this one or it found you. :)

This was a beautiful piece Jack. I certainly enjoyed the beautiful creativity of it. I have one small critique... "Upon her vessel pearl white" This line broke up the flow for me as I was reading along. It is short a few syllables to go with the rest of the flow, at least it was for me. Not sure if you want to rearrange or add a few words to make it even with the rest of your lines. Just a suggestion though, as I have stated before, I am not the best at critiquing poetry.
Overall, the piece captured the emotion of love beautifully!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Raven. I will definitely look into that.

[Jack...]

Perhaps if I just change the word pearl to pearly. Try it like that. The syllable count matches, I think it just lost its sing song feel because one word cut off too short. Let me know.

[Raven Cedrone]

Sounds perfect if you were to do it that way.

[Jack...]

Then consider it done.

Imagery, imagery, imagery...I'm in sensory overload mode right now, and I'm loving it. I think I may need to take a break and brew a cup of tea after this write. Such lovely lines, sublime, thoughtful...this stuff doesn't exisit in real life, you know? :)

[Jack...]

You never know Sarah, all we can do is dream and hope someday those dreams come true. Thank you so very much.

Oceans green and aqua blues

I especially like this verse. Its a beautiful love poem full of color, of light and it flows so well.

[Jack...]

Thanks you Tammy. I love the oceans and I dream of things like this often
