Reflection of a whisper

sorenbarrett

Love's morning sea glitters, throbbing with waves of heartbeats

Siren arms transmit her, maelstrom currents and entreats

A breeze may begin in a soft kiss' whisper, the caress of the breath of a smile

But betrayal builds in a gale to the roaring fury of a hurricane's rail,

leaving one marooned on a deserted isle

Infatuation's sun dawns on dunes of sandy breasts and thighs.

Lacrimal rains pour over rocky terrain's shore, as hope closes its eyes.

Dried sands crumble, dream castles tumble

a broom of water sweeps away salty words

with teeth of wind, bliss did rescind

the mirrored smoke of Harpies and phoenix birds

Here fire born of water, to water will return,

over ocean and sky its reflection will continue to burn

Moonbeams heart strings pulls passion's tidal blanket over a sea with no eyes

Vision only by dreams, it has no sense, it seems, of where it lies

    A fine write SB.
    Ain't no double meanings with KP. She says - it's about all she says - is 'Botox is botox, and nothing else, and I must have it more, more, more!' heehee.

      Botox causes swelling maybe she hopes your heart will swell. Thanks for the read Orchi.

      Stunning imagery in this poem of a doomed love, and the last word seems to beg a question. Incredible words my friend.

      • sorenbarrett

        Thank you so much Bella you are right and the question is: Does not all love contain bliss and grief?
        You are also very perceptive in that the last line has a double meaning with the word lie, is it position or deception? Your comments are always so welcome dear friend.
