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

AH... This is the shorter version of the ship in the bottle to me. Reads with a similar feel, but is easier for the impatient reader to digest.
A very nice poem Jack.

It's so absolutely fitting that as I read this poem I am listening to Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea". A lovely piece.
