Seaward

The sea rumbles-

thunder hugs the surface.

Waves crash ashore;

their hearts all foam and brime.

What secret sinks?

Down below the twilight pier;

asunder in the starry black.

The sea cries-

winds out on the water.

Fog curls 'cross the bay;

its soul a captain's search light.

What malice waits?

Descending to the murky depths;

caught in dragging currents.

The sea trembles-

rain prickling the blue.

Steamships blowing far away;

their essence of phantom storms.

What arcane thing?

Spiraling into velvet trenches;

it is pulled by wayward tides.

I wrote something similar to this a few months ago in regards to the sea. Nowhere near as good or as beautifully detailed as your story.Reading this I can smell the sea salt in the air

You have written a rare piece of poetry - and that is - a delightful, delicate, delicious poem of great imagery, wordplay and style - I really like your form and composition - exquisite - :-)

It is so deep and haunting. Mysterious and beautiful.

Wonderful use of words. I loved them. I am in San Diego on vacation. Nothing as wonderful as the sea.
A outstanding poem Anna.
