This is incredibly stellar! I especially love; “Skulls of saints calling to lost souls in watery graves/Where pearls from tissue calcify in salty sea.” Wow! 💝
This is so beautifully written and solemn. It’s heartbreaking with the theme of being lost at sea, and the waves taking them over, that is truly haunting. The way you composed this is mesmerizing especially with the word choice and detail, such as in these lines:
“Staring out to sea
Hair, raven black
Lifted by the wind”
“Blood trickles
from royal flesh
taken by waves”
“Color of blood
Clutched tightly
to a heaving breast
as tears flowed”
Remarkable, remarkable wordsmithing here. You weave a dark tale in this journey to the sea, physically and emotionally, all with such beautiful and evocative descriptions. A very haunting piece, I’m stunned. Bravo. <3 <3 <3 <3
My dear Lucy, please forgive me for not responding to this wonderful comment sooner. I don’t know how I could have missed it. I was obviously distracted or something 😧 Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so happy you liked the poem. Laura gave us wonderful prompts for this and for me the poem just “flowed”. I am truly grateful for your feedback, always. To me you are the master poet and your words are always inspiring 🥰 Thank you my friend.
Each verse has its own discreet poetry but I especially liked how you wove Greenberg into:
“Skulls of saints
calling to lost souls
in watery graves
Where pearls from tissue
calcify in salty sea”
This is excellent, Christine! Each line, a marvel! 🙂❤️
Thank you dear Punam. I really appreciate it ☺️🥰
My pleasure, dear. 🥰
