Ode To The Sea

Here is a chain poem we attempted on Facebook. Turned out quite well I think....

I worshiped you, tasted your salt
My eyes burned with longing as I
Swam into your arms

Legs dangled in the clear water
I felt your weight, power
Sand reflecting sunlight

As the great orb slowly set
On the edge of the world
Points of starlight, burst
Like tiny fireworks inside my head

The tide coiled serpentine, waves
Lapping tongue tied and moon struck,
To kiss the sea is to court death

You are the first words
In a book of passion ~
A treasured celebration
Of all the cherries I have ever tasted..

Now cast aside and stained
Salt cured heart embittered in the brine.
Stars tremble on the wave,
The gilly screeches torment

Forged in swirling white fires each polished thrust
The sacred milky river flows uphill,
A gentle stroke
Each soaring note unlocks
The ecstasy of wanting eyes

Tears that dream of ancient oceans
Salt but not as salty as today
Water lusts to make herself thicker
Wants to give herself as spray.

---- by Gagan Sky Judge, Martin Coule, Brian Condra, Chrissy Newbury.
