Sea Hoary Mist

The lost souls at sea

Sea hoary mist

In thee I sense a cry of love

Out of desperate fathoms as if...

A returning surge of wayward kiss

From my darling which thou was taken with

I feel his spirit

Brazen to escape the waves

Light touch upon my face

Vast ocean's spray

Memories now less bitter than taste

And yet I find

Myself lost here too

Somewhere amidst this crystal blue

On coastlines brine between thoughts align

The sea's mighty motion muse

Wondering where my man last sailed

Out upon the seas of life

I know beneath the nimbus

Bold titan which never dies

A blink within a tempest eyes

Thou dares to cross back now

After tides of time

Over breaks and slippery rock divides

Reaching once again to my heart inside

Telling me I'm the one who must survive

Emotions drench wet

Let slip a thousand tales

Nautical miles more wide

Of wishes and some regrets

But in the end it's what keeps us alive

Too often ships pass ghostly

Distant lights in the night

Leaving nights and lovers out to dry

Singsong sirens calling legends

Drowning pain which yet never dies

And waves windswept

Holding onto secrets treasure chest

While tears clash to when heard thy true history

Rhythms of ebb rise keep the sadness rolling

And the placid places reflect thy glory

So sea hoary mist

I blow to thee my own kiss

And toss into the direction of horizon's sun

A message rolled in an old bottle of rum

With last words of "farewell my seafaring love"

This is brilliant, I truly enjoyed this piece! The sea is such a mysterious and unknown thing, constantly hit with storms, tsunamis and its depths are rather mystified, yet it keeps moving. Everyday. Perhaps so much in life can be paralleled to that of the sea. Love your word usage here too. Thanks for writing this!

The tumultuous sea is a great metaphoric setting for love and loss. Well crafted. (coincidently read back to back with your poem with reference to waterfall mist).

Wow, this is amazing, what more can I say on this one Mikey? You are a fantastic poet and someone who always write so vividly and descriptively.

This is a very enchanting write. The ocean really is a magical place and you did a wonderful job expressing just the magical beauty in your words! Great job with this! (:

It's enchanting. I tried to capture a little of that here. As I've grown to care less for the beach during the day and in Florida I live an hour from Daytona and Gulf of Mexico. Although, I thoroughly enjoy walking on the beach during the evening and night with my wife.

You're very welcome. well I have only seen the ocean and beach
and been on one and in one when I was in different area's of Florida and
Virginia Beach so when the wind blows softly here and sounds like the Ocean
it is beautiful. Blessings. Kindred poet

my dear friend what a true magician of words you are, I truly wish all the new inspiring writers should read your work to educate themselves as I do while reading you. You my friend are a true blessing for this world and I from bottom of my heart only wish you the success you truly deserve...which is shine like a star, cause that is what you are my brother. Proud of your writing and I'm honor that I'm one of those who can call you friend!

[Michael G. Smith]

Certainly, a very appreciated commentary. Thanks for kind words and take them to heart. I had that line Sea Hoary Mist for awhile and knew I needed to build a poem around it. I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend and thanks again but never hesitate to let me know if you see where I may improve on any of my poetry.

[A. Amos]

You my friend are God gifted writer and while reading your work, one can feel you travel in different world and must be in different trance when you create your magnum-opus's. I never felt myself on that level to find faults, that's job of editors. I just read and enjoy concepts and subjects and that is what help me to gain wisdom. World need to see you're work my friend you're very good. You're most welcome

[Michael G. Smith]

And all with a high school education, lol.

[A. Amos]
