As The Sea Poem by Doris Cornago

As The Sea

Rating: 5.0


The sea is so far from the sky but
You blend with her from a distance
No trouble with your shaky stance
Even a fall does not bother at all

What brings us together is exactly
That, from a distance, we're together
But not from each other's viewpoint
You're liquid as the sea, earthly
But I'm the sky, haughty and mighty

Yet I envy your easy playful stance
Needing romance, I'll take a chance
Dip my icy pure white fingers in blue
Feel you, languid and liquid, by cue

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My cloistered upbringing requires me to be timid and conservative. Only by poems do I become acerbic and outspoken. But someone who sees through my facade will tell me to let my hair down and get my 'feet wet with the water. It's scary to be told to play with the sand, then to take a swim, take a chance at something new. There's so much serenity in the sea that it lures us back to our primal instincts. Would you?

Sea is very far from sky but sky is bending towards sea. Wonderful romance from distance is interestingly presented here. An amazing sharing is done really.10

I'm delighted Kumarmani that you can see through the allusion. Not at all dangerous, is it? Thank you for appreciation. You're a wonderful man. :)

I take myself so seriously and upon seeing someone who does not, feel a tinge of jealousy. Yet, on looking hard, what's to lose, playfulness is really a choice. Growth does not mean to grow old, it could mean to grow younger.
