Death On The Seashore (A Re-Post) Poem by Sonya Florentino
Death On The Seashore (A Re-Post)
The waves lap against me
Gently, carressingly
Like a lover beckoning me
To lie in his arms
To dance with the rhythm of the sea
But I feel not the caress
And know not of love
For it is in death that I wake up
And in death that I sleep

I'm glad that you resurrected this because it's lovely. Nobody can make me fall in love with poetry over and over again in quite the same way that you are able to do it..(smile)
So powerful, Sonya. I admire your works. This one, however, feels so tragic, and hopeless. Then again, I imagine many of us have been there (or ARE there) , but to put such pain into words is truly brave - I use code! ;) I don't think I have the courage you do to be so honest. Wonderfully melodic.
