Morning sea

Sheeny scaly waves
unintentionally pull
at the strings of a mermaid’s
love
golden melody popples
wantonly in an instant
strands of musical notes
bloom into cyan combers
like flowers
on the peak of springtime
this thumping heart of mine
breaks through the barricades
of longings
jumps into the warm and inviting
undulating bosom of the sea
soaking in the nourishment of care and generosity
drifting along
like an infant in a cradle
close to the crystal clear cheek
of heaven
listening to the little zingy
deep-toned sounds of aquatics
this deep blue theme
gobbles up time and space
muddles up joy and sadness
of the opaque universe.
