O wave of whirlpool!
take me home
when sun goes down
O wave of isle!
take me home
when moon shouts aloud
creepy cape waits for an endless terror
frightful wind blows so mellow
why our sights sense horror
when we need a glow?
hazy harbor welcomes a dark guest
terrible trance brings a wounded chest
who save those screaming mermaids of ocean
when all white vessels suddenly turn up and down?
O wave of atoll!
take me in
where hope still alive
O wave of seagull!
take me in
where love can unite
(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Ruerd Visser)
Wonderful weaving of verse on sea voyage adventure reminds me of Bermuda's Triangle, the Caribbean Whirlpool encountered by ships and the miraculous escape only by the chosen one capable of saving the mermaids! Indeed after the adventure the chosen one will enjoy love of a kind nobody has enjoyed so far, I think! A puzzle for many but it is a thrill for me reading your poem of this kind!
'Where hope still alive' and 'Where love unites'! Yes; let te whole humanity start its voyage and end sucessfully!
Apart from sea sickness, tha sailor is always home sick also, as he remains most of the time in all the waters of the world. Well composed.
O' ye mermaids splashed across yon rocks... For do they sing their song-Afar be the star'ved loches. Minstrel ladies sing aloud...Sailor's ahoy-Bounding through. Time away spent fro' drowning boats...Fear all fear fro' foaming floats. Rocky jagged ladies be...Assaulting men of shell-uh-by. Ears so hammered to what deafness? ...Loving guy, that hath left us. Widowed women on the shore...No more man to be-of moore. Alas thy blue-ened lads begone...Never to be beyond my dawn. Great write. God bless us all-MJG.
Your emotions are so heartfelt in this piece of work. The first line is so appropriate too. Your imagery is so vivid e.g. 'screaming mermaids of the ocean'. The message of hope rounded the poem of beautifully. Excellent! 10 from me
A nice rhythm seems to run through this and the poets voice seems to hover above all as an accompaniment to emotions images.
