Ocean Stories

~Just a romantic poem~

To chambers and notches of seaweed,

we can journey, if ever you need

to sleep, hearing the ocean waves.

We would collect the conch shells the sea saves

for lost travellers, like you and me.

We would go together to the foaming sea,

where strange melodies paint images

on the walls of chambers and cages

of the foaming periwinkle sea.

We would go and hear that melody.

When the northern star shall reach out,

and the distant mariner boy would shout,

that it is the time for mermaids to ascend,

we would wait by the caves and hear their voices blend

with the sound of the troubled sea.

Alone, in the silence, only you and me.

When the air is salty and the water hushed, 

we would sleep, wrapped in the golden dust.

Should the cries of the pale skinned sea

ever break our lost rhyming reverie,

we would sing aloud to the moon,

to lull and hush the childish sea soon.

If its promise, the platinum moon shall keep,

we would drown again in our sleep,

and dream beautiful dreams of voices in a shell,

Till the dawn arrives and tinkles the church bells

of some distant, dry, deserted town's core.

We would awake again and be washed ashore.

What a brilliant review!!! I am flattered, dear E. I truly am! The album "ocean songs" is one of my favourite albums, and this song seemed to go well with the poem. Thank you so much!! :) :)

[Moonie]

Ps, my dear ocean star taught me how to include songs here. Kudos to her!!!!........Suck it, technology!!!

Should the cries of the pale skinned sea
ever break our lost rhyming reverie,
we would sing aloud to the moon,
to lull and hush the childish sea soon.
Your words are haunting and beautiful...as though one is floating in a dream upon this sea. Lovely writing.
:) Julie

[Moonie]

Beautiful and haunting, eh?? Woohoo, that's quite a review!!! :) :) Thank you! :)

[Daydreamer]

It's thoughtful and refreshing!🏊🏊🏊🏊
But I very humbly suggest you divide it
into several stanzas, that way, it would
be much more comfortable to read!
Wonderful penning,as always🎆🎇

[Moonie]

Thank you, dearest Sagacious!! :):)

[Moonie]

I wanted the poem to sound like a story, and so I didn't divide it.

[Daydreamer]

Awww... I see
I just meant that many lines
need to be contemplated...
So you'd rather give us the
opportunity to do so by
breaking the continuous writing!
It's all up to you!
You're welcome🌹

[Eddie Davis]

Very nice, it captured the power, mystery and even the hint of chaos and doom that the Ocean seems to generate for most people. Quite well done.

[Moonie]

Thank you for the kind review! :)

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A most tantalizing piece that sings of things we can not see, well done.

[Jennie Baron]

Breathtakingly beautiful! I too felt the rhythm of the ocean current and the mermaids' song...I'm entranced by the ocean even though I live landlocked in the middle of a huge continent! This write is exquisite in its tranquil, soothing quality.

[Moonie]

The ocean... the beautiful ocean... and the moon.. the gorgeous moon.. they inspire me everyday, ma'am..and now I know, that you too feel a similar pull....thank you for such an encouraging and kind review!!! :) :)

[Jennie Baron]

[Moonie]

Ah, it is always nice to stumble across your reviews, sir! :) :) I insist you should listen to the song as well. It is from one of my all time favorite albums.

[Woody]

[Woody]

voluptuous!!!! thank you very much. I don't think I've heard it before.

[Moonie]

I have an odd taste in music. I don't think many have heard that song. I am overjoyed that you like it. :) :) I am sending you ear to ear smiles from here!!!! :)

[Woody]

thanks a lot but did they have to be slobbering? ugh. well, thanks anyway :)))

[Moonie]

I try my best.....expectations....huh....would they ever be satisfied??? :) :D

[Woody]

you know I enjoy pulling people's legs. incorrigible, I know.
I acknowledge receipt of your kisses. you're so sweet :)

[Moonie]

It was smiles in the first place......:P

[Woody]

hahahahaha s**t s**t s**t!! I meant smiles of course. I'm embarrassed.

[Woody]

plz ignore the comment about the "slobbering"

[Moonie]

Hehe, did I just manage to pull your leg instead???? That's one point for me......:) :) hahaha. Did you misread the word, or did you write kisses by mistake?????

[Woody]

I needed to make a wisecrack, can't help it, so the smiles really looked like kisses.

[Moonie]

Haha, yep, of course they did, except the spellings, the word formation, and the sound......atleast both were in plural....:) :)
