Love Poem: Finn and Fiona

Finn and Fiona

He thought that he had lost all his marbles on the crossing

The autumn tides had been huge and the currents strong


Mostly the aquamarine ones off track and abandoned

A bit like blue smarties excluded from the shiny packets

Forbidden colorants had lost their way into his life


Must have put them into one of the Nivea tins he collected

For safe keeping so well they were hidden too mindlessly


His mood though full of the blues like cyan in a capsule

As he struggled through the time warp of self-deception

No more cerulean light and Munch’s scream full of morose

Moribund insanity with the ocean’s plight darker than black


He felt sizzling hotter than blue blazes in his very own hell

Like cold death warmed up and the hobgoblin gone crazy


Women were said to bring bad luck as distraction of sailors

Strangely naked ones were welcome on board to relax the tiller

And the compass’s needle pointed nether like phallic delight

Tall and erect full of heart blood and passion he had once been

Yet living disaster had struck home and all pastels were stuck


Out of the blue an angel appeared who was poignantly wearing

A fine blue seductive dress of intricate weave and labyrinthine fabric 

He undressed her in rising fantasy and she wished just the same

A super blue blood moon ready for passion and climax of harvest


Nivea turned into deep heat mixed with menthol and chocolate

With blueberry essence and grapes south of navel and nave

Finn had found huckleberries at last and she had been waiting

An eternity for a Prince to cherish her plum and gift her a peach

Dew reappeared like morning glory as they condensed into one

And christened white satin sheets for they embarked wet and wild


Fiona shone bright fair and beautiful honest open and upright

A sapphire dropped from heaven in light of a precious fine marble
