PEGGY'S COVE

07 27 11

Grant me the consecration of your lighthouse
not for the lunation of the checkered brow
I slit through hue and cry to access but
for its spiralling ascension to shelter
unweathered and immune
to the low-pressure misnomer
huffing in hurricane moods
and puffing out electrical recalcitrance

Grant me an audience with the apex
of your drowning man's gravity
and sear my impending pneumonia
with your salvational bulb
pulsating and warm as a wanted sunburn

now is the time i better used that dictionary...lol..
I'm amaze with your vocabulary my friend..
it paints a vivid scene of someone alone at the lighthouse
very sick and cold... or it paints of someone looking for love or wanting love
for a certain woman that will lighten up his world like a lighthouse...

awesome one my friend.

Many thanks :) I laboured over this one quite a bit, and I wondered if it may be too wordy but I can't bring myself to change it now...I grew up and still live on the sea so there's a lot of substance in this...I don't know how old it is but it is a real place, as was the woman it was named for years ago...there is shelter to be found in both, and it's heavenly when it is found...I'm glad to know that this one resonated with you^^

[Pax]

no its not wordy for wordy for me is like a very long chapter one in a book... :D heavenly love found is a awesome feeling... a great poem my friend.. just right enough depths for us to ponder its deep thoughts... and your most welcome!

[Pax]

oh typos... no its not wordy, wordy for me is like a very long chapter one in a book...

[kublakhan27]

Thank you as always for the kind words :D

This is so wonderful, and universal, even for people who do not know Peggy's Cove.

[kublakhan27]

That is the trick when it comes to writing regional pieces, especially when you come from a small area as I do...I'm glad I was able to inject that element of universality...many thanks my friend.

Boats and lighthouses, and anchors away! Love...

'pulsating and warm as a wanted sunburn'....ha, who woulda thunk?

Nice one..............give me the ocean in any way, shape or form and I'm there.

[kublakhan27]

Haha I usually don't have "favourite" lines within any given piece but that line is an exception...I happen to live on the shore, and I come from a family of fishermen (Dad's side) for good measure...shamefully I never followed suit but I love to sit on the porch and just be hypnotized by the waves :)

[Frieda P]

Lucky you, so you should be more sane then, living by the water and all...ha' It does have a calming effect on me, used to go down every weekend religiously when we had a house down there...I miss it, no wonder I'm so messed up ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Nah if you're messed up, then I like you that way ;P I know...I'm a walking contradiction haha But I must be honest and say my family's home is on the shore, and my place is in town...I still go over there frequently though and watch the water, especially during the spring and summer...it does actually put my mind at ease but I can never seem to take that ease with me haha :P

[Frieda P]

Yeah we need to figure out how to bottle that stuff...

[kublakhan27]

Indeed, I should catch some of that water in a bottle and take it home with me ;P

[Damien Davison]

I completely love Peggy's Cove, I spent a lot of time jumping on the rocks there and whatnot. Beautiful place! Thank you for sharing and bringing back fond memories!

[kublakhan27]

That's awesome, I wasn't sure if this would be read by anyone who's actually been here lol I'm glad you like it :)

[Abdul Batin Osman Bey]

[kublakhan27]

Many thanks^^

Witty and complex. You've out done yourself here. I like how you've written this though the overall meaning is hidden within the entire composition. It's up to the reader to interpret what it is. Great job. :)

[kublakhan27]

Thanks I'm glad you like it :) I was indeed concerned about it being too wordy but once I got to this point with it, I couldn't bring myself to tinker with it any more without taking away the interpretation factor :P

[gombeggar]

nicely done example of over expression...i love it :)

[kublakhan27]

Many thanks :)
