Fresh Water~

Fresh Water~

A Poem by NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPole

My pearls

Broken in fresh water

Shells cracked open between the palms of a hungry man

He’s been at sea forevermore

Storms live in his gray eyes

Now he walks fresh water shores

In muddy boots

His soul as clean as undiscovered coral beds

I am happy to be

The pearl in his pocket

A memory in a brooch at his daughter’s throat

Above lace dreams

Her grip on the boat

Tight

She laughs

My mood ring bauble

Flexing

Blues

Under a sky bleeding topaz rain

As Leon Redbone taps his shoes against an old radio

Floating in fresh water

By a shoreline filled with pearls

You write some of the most beautiful scenes and images that I have seen. This makes me think of so many stories of life that this could fit into. One part of thought of marriage and a father giving his daughter away. I always love how your words flow into the surreal of life.

Selene,
Superb imagery and symbolism. I can almost hear Leon's slide guitar between the lines. BZ

I can see the weathered and bent hands of this man, aged in hard earned wisdom, though unshakeable, wrapped one around a Styrofoam cup of steaming comfort and the other in the pocket of his tattered pea coat, as his eyes glisten with mischief and his alluring tales form words meant to amuse your muse, the unexpected light stumbled upon on the salty shore of his reminiscence... I see the contentment in green hue reflected back from you and the warmth of your brief dip into humanity's better edge of placid waters...

and as I watch, I smile

thanks for the momentary peace

A haunting cinematic ode to the wisps of poignant fine love memories.

With the droll timeless delivery of Leon Redbone as a linchpin, this mind movie flavors the brood w/humor and a kiss for the passage of time.

The spirit of Love shines in this gesture of disappearance into the pearls of the little subtle precious moments of life.

Exotic and the wordplay is divine, I love the way you craft the shore line,
the unwritten topaz, letting go of the boat, your imagery builds and builds
etching a wonder, and a bravo x 10~
