You said, "Look at the
Moon."
I said, "The sky shakes me,
I long for stillness."
You said, "Shhh, mental case.
Kiss me."
I did, and felt the tides.
Pretty sea wives linger, watching.
I cannot.
I am always drowning.
I have soft starfish hands.
You are anemone,
Not poison, but
Life and
Safe harbor.

ReplyDeleteA lovely 55, FB! I hope you have a wonderful weekend...
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me how opposites attract - maybe one brings something the other lacks and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteLovely 55, Shay!
Life and safe harbor. What a wonderful concept.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a safe harbor
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you know a safe harbor. I am including some virtual water wings with this comment, just in case.

And in the end, perhaps that safe harbor washes away the initial agitation. Such a well done and emotional 55, Shay.
ReplyDeleteThis is most incredibly beautiful......"I am always drowning", "soft starfish hands........life and safe harbor." We all so need that safe harbor...............sigh. Romantic and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLoved the "safe harbor" yes - we can park up anytime with those we love.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
My 55 is up too!

I want starfish hands.... where oh where can I find them?
ReplyDelete... someone's had a lot of inspiring love of late....
hmmmm....

We all need a safe harbor, but one is not always available when we feel the most vulnerable.
ReplyDeleteLovely 55er,
Cheers,
Joanny

ReplyDeleteLovely. A safe harbor is a wonderful thing to find in a person.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful piece, I love the allegory of the ocean in all writing and poems you write, it fits the heart the ocean, and it suits the hands. Love to you.
