Life As Ocean~

Life as ocean

falling down

submerge

feet first into epic  blue

jellyfish, a string of bioluminescent memories around the waist

translucent scales caress a broken shoulder blade

calcify me to the coral

fuse my bones against the bottom

sea shells, pink

come, like whispers

to lay conch swirls of  a kiss against the breasts

my hair in waves

floating

a white silk cloud

 captures a dolphin’s attention

upright against my body

like a waltz,  he spins me a tidal movement

coaxing me to breathe

but I am turning water over inside my lungs

foam between my lips

a slender ribbon opens from a blood bubble breath

my thighs fuse

music curves my spine

a whale on a harpoon above

thrashing in a watercolor sky of oil

peel me

iridescent scale by scale

a starfish  melody crawling the sandy bottom

I bend

I open

the center like a fruit

seeds everywhere

a nurse shark opens her mouth

a diamond mask floating in seaweed

I burst

gushing silver water

bleeding starscapes

dreamscapes

curled in a whispering shell

on the bottom

of the sea

I enjoy the freedom you take by dividing the poem into lines. Your thoughts are scattered yet there is direction overall. You play with the words like a dolphin beneath the waves. I like it -0 }0-
