Sailor's Song
Crimson red sailor's sky too soon devoured,
shadowed contemplative horizon set,
brush faded on concrete gravestone flowered.
promises denied from a lover's debt,
Rapture forever, wind gale staggered free,
breathe lithe love back across this distant span
salt foam tossing in humbled majesty
edging in shallow sands, a rhythmic stand.
Once sent furtive dreams, kisses in each crest
pounded surf, nonchalant waves kinetic,
whales whistling, anguished from their very breast,
vestige song, purest love lost ascetic.
Suffuse me back out to the raging seas
no longer is there a reason to be.
