EBB AND FLOW

Michael Edwards

 

EBB AND FLOW

                                                                                  

Love sailed on oceans tears

that flowed to amatory lands

where deep in passions precipice

the throbbing tide discharged

its salty spray in time worn vaults.

 

In slow retreat from ebbed embrace

caressing melancholic shores

the waves sung out in harmony

as saline eyes shed golden tears

of waning love in oceans breeze.

    • orchidee

      A fine write and pic M. Must I 'organise' it with me metres and what-not?!

      • Michael Edwards

        Thanks O - no just in yards will do

      • dusk arising

        Wow.... 'caressing melancholic shores, the waves sang out in harmony'... evocative, deep sadness.

        • Michael Edwards

          Thanks so much - one of those poems that just seemed to work out as I put pen to paper - well finger to keyboard actually.

          Super write, that boat will sail forever.

        • WL Schuett

          Very lyrical with nice imagery, poem goes well with your sculpture, good work

          • Michael Edwards

            Thanks Bill - these little rustic pieces take quite a bit of time to make and although they do sell the return doesn't reflect the effort and they do take up quite a bit of storage space.

          • malubotelho

            Beautiful sensual poem Michael. A pleasure to read first thing in the morning. It flows magically.

            • Michael Edwards

              Thanks Malu and especially so for saving it.

              • malubotelho

                Yes, it is my gift now.

              • Louis Gibbs

                A splendid saline salute to love for sure, Michael! I could almost feel the spray.

                • Michael Edwards

                  A salute or a wave? Thanks Louis

                • BRIAN & ANGELA

                  Thanks MICHAEL ~ In my limited experience LOVE does EBB & FLOW (DONNA E MOBILE !) BUT ~ when it does flow it always takes me with it ~ to the very edge of Paradise ! BRIAN

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Don't fall over the edge Brian - thanks for the comment.

                  • Fay Slimm.

                    Words flow so gently in this sensuous poem -- a beautiful read and love the sculptured driftwood too.

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Thanks Fay - that one was sold some while back
