Poem: Restless

 

Restless

 

sapphire and gold of blush,

the ocean wallows

on sumptuous pillows

no human will sleep.

 

dreams tossed and uplifted,

amorphous and nude,

long before the gods 

named death a one-way door. 


petals of froth

trellis the absinthe of this ocean, 

how they bristle, only to wane,

and the petals of foam, restless,


pulse in white-green gardens,

wet of heat to arch-and-sink,

swollen and swaying within  

this passionate ocean,


this pendulum of ache,

its great greengray gaze every lens

swallowed and shaped,

fluid and multifaceted,

 

as we shipwrecked lovers

stare up at the embers

of a deep, stark universe,

hoping for a trace of bliss.
