The Ocean Is A Grave Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

The Ocean Is A Grave



The ocean is a grave
It dreamt last night
Yet
Under the moon's light
And the white of
Star-light
It was a grave!

The ocean swells
The ocean in the hiding
Of the night
Where stars shine
Not
Where the clouds
Cover moon
The night hides
The Ocean's red!

In the cocoon of time
Dream waters
Dreams a whole
Reign
Where too lodge the
Wide giant halls
Of pronged Jupiter!

I
That see you
Give hope to me
Make too
Some glimmer of a hope
From my despondency
And
Utter resignation!



In to the chambers ivory
Of long nights
Dream I:
In to the vicinity
Of utter resignation
Utter tragedy
Shines the sub-conscious
Revelry!

You will hear
Them
Pass
That rough and anxious
Cavalry
Thought after thought
Thought behind

And hear
Hear too:
The ocean is a grave
It dreamt last night
Yet
Under the moon's light
And the white of
Star-light
It was a grave!
