Dreamless Sea







the sea is weary
its magic sweetness gone now
I must leave this dream

to she who comes next
my time has past forever
my soul longs for sleep

cradled in the deep
the sea will rock me slowly
till I am no more

  1. I know how it feels my friend. Yet there is lots of life in these words.

  3. Hi Melanie, this is very pretty. Just let the see do the rocking.

    One of my 'lines' is that when I get too old to enjoy playing with the family children I will sit in my rocking chair and watch then do their thing.

    Glad to see you back at OSI. I hope you doing well. Your poem does.

  4. Thank you for coming to my poem again. I enjoy your poems very much also. You are a real poet, I am an amateur writing for fun.

    Please keep up as much as you can for your reader's sake. BTW, I have two other blogging friends with health problems that hinder their writing. One writes only in lower case as that is so much easier for her.

  5. I WRITE IN UPPERCASE FOR THE ABOVE REASON-
    DEAREST MELANIE,
    IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I VISITED, BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART. I SAW YOUR COMMENT ON JIM'S BLOG TODAY (JAN. 2013) SO I STOPPED BY TO READ YOUR POETRY: WORDS OF YOURS ALWAYS TOUCH ME SO. YOUR GIFT IS UNTOUCHABLE, THOUGH. IT'S UNIQUE.

    THINKING OF YOU,
    GEL
