Siren to the sea








To me, you are as beautiful as the sea.
And like a siren cast ashore,
I heed your call. 

... 













I have watched your many faces change.
The still glassy calmness on the surface. 
The rough, troubled waters further deep. 

And I have decided that I love them all.  
For you are the one I belong to, my love.

I have watched, countless times from beneath  
This distorting film of water, those ships... 
Floating thoughts, which I could never read.   

Though I swam,hoping to see, yet only to know, 
Before I reached the shore, that I could not resist 

The hushing sound of your lullaby.. 
The waves, lapping soft, to caress my skin...
The gentle breeze at your soothing side... 

I could only see, that I could watch, forever, 
Those ships...dreams and memories, pulling me in 

For even if, I cannot understand, 
I'm still enthralled...captivated, my sea.
Only within you do I come to life. 

Carry me away, sweet surrender, to your tide.











Thanks to C for sharing this poem with me.

    1. Thanks a million RPD C will be very pleased to hear you loved this poem :)

      The sound and the constant change of the sea, the moisture and the light reflection upon its surface can be almost "hypnotising".

      Thanks again for your comment :)
