Anchored.
Because each seagull-pecked minute
strangles an anchored soul
shall the sands of desire close every
harbour and Love sail no more ?
Because roped-in boats can express
no movement and pearl's glint
goes unnoticed will lucid respect
lose truth by avoiding talk ?
Because wishes grow cold and ocean
rusts iron do love's sunken flints
once molten still smoulder when tide
ebbs to show a better shore ?

Hmmm... led to some deep thinking.
Like an old ship of many adventures now preserved in a dry dock, to sail no more upon the sensual waves of adventure has become my outlook. Prserved by self, unfit for any more running aground or poor navigation into murky soundings.
I like it when your poetry digs me in the ribs and spills a confession.... but what on earth are seagul-necked minutes....?
oh dear - apologies my friend - though pleased to know my poetry stirs you am cofessing to haste when posting today - hence the typo - ha - should have been " seagull-pecked minutes " so will quickly edit....... thank you sincerely for your welcome comment.
how evergreen-majestic
the sublime Poetry, you pen
dear Fay..
that first stanza, is just
breathtakingly exquisite!
what a privilege, to be treated to your poetic genius, so regularly..
thank you!
'Because, each
seagull-pecked minute, strangles
an anchored soul
shall, the sands
of desire: close
every harbour and love
sail no more?'
Delighted you like this read with a twist on a subject ever close to my heart. Many big thank yous for your generous comment dear L.B.
Good write Fay.
Thank you dear Orchi.
I first read this as I walked along the coast road .. tell a lie, I was sitting on a bench dedicated to an old & previous Harbour Master .. and although I was unable to respond at the time .. those initial feelings of something awesome stayed with me for quite some time after I headed back home .. and then when I visited again, I realised that these words have a timeless quality to them ...

Am smiling real wide at your natural and so chatty comment on Anchored dear Nev. - it felt like you had just popped in to explain where and when you read and digested this intriguing topic lined with much imagery - -hope I didnt go overboard and bore you with detail you had to dive deep to see - merci beaucoup mon ami for your ever welcome review.................x
It’s an epic dear Fay
Such fine words and what an advice they gave
Well said dear poet
Enamoured by the shop of time
Wonder one can reach a better shore on time
