The Jealous Sea

The Jealous Sea

A Poem by Cardinal Robin

 

The Jealous Sea

 

 

Life giving liquid

 of Creation’s Nature

comfort my meek vessel

 in the accepting arms of

my Dearest Deepest Love

 

How many Doves

 have I sent Thee

for Olive (our love) proof

and you chide my trickery

with twigs to point the way

to uncharted territory

reminding me how lowly

mere my magic sinks

 in your riddles

 of my heavy ocean heart.

 

The Jealous Sea

gets wind of we

and toils to roil me in boils

waving, waving, like a ghostly

Iron Maiden.

Her voice an avarice epitome

in the pits of minds

 to deaden wind in sails.

Forgotten frock fraught

 with self effacing misery,

Jealousy would assault

any battery of The Chosen.

 

The Chosen of an Everland

How they did die in millions

and suffer the Thrice of His Reich and We,

and all for a fairytale

Of an Aryan Whale

and a Knobby Ignoble Moby DICK!

 

On an Isle where most have Never Listened,

did I come to know a Siren Intimacy.

How we Broke the Basest Bonds

and reset the God’s Chains

to bind our Covenant of Bliss.

Her Siren Song

sings to me of our

Greatest Conquests

She and I the Admirals’ Red Glare

Forever Stirring

the watery weakest fires

of the Jealous Sea…

Knowingly…
