I Express Myself Through Writing



The brine wind tumbles the capped waves with sea foam

His eyes scan the vermillion horizon

Sitting amongst the dunes, the seagulls decry the settling dusk

Her words stir in his mind and sustain his solitude

The ocean and it's fathomable depths are restless and vast

Distance separates them without walls

Meeting is not to be, yet their hearts intertwine forever

Immersed in the river or settled against a tree in a peaceful meadow, she sheds her demons

If he looks away, sometimes she will disappear or fade

Rarely do her eyes lock with his

She fears his gaze will permeate and diffuse her resistance and resolve

This time her eyes lock onto his, as his imagination plays out their becoming...infinitely

Their lovemaking encompasses passionate words enveloped in lilting phrases and rounded sentences

Her green eyes hold fast to his as two become a single thought

Their complexities become primitive and primal

His existence has become an island, isolated and dedicated to her....his world and dream

He lays his head down on the wet sand

In his mind she gazes down at him, smiling

He reaches up to trace her face as he has imagined doing a thousand times

His eyes remain closed...never opening...

His eyes are closed because they can only touch or make love in their imaginations. At the end he closes his eyes because he wants to stay in his dreams. If he opens his eyes he will have to face the cold reality of physically being without her.

You could also interpret the end as his swan song,

Thanks for the sweet words. They mean a lot coming from you.

This is beautiful & hauntingly so. All of these verses are strong & easily felt.

.....this reminds me of a twin flame relationship. The whole thing does. I have a prose poem about such, but figured few here would understand its meaning or realism. You did it incredible justice. Bravo!🍃

This is a really tender beautiful piece, as though she is almost an unfashionable piece of art. The piece is full of contradictions ‘her green eyes hold fast to his...’ and the. The ending ‘her eyes remain closed never opening’ it as though there are two realities intertwined.

It echoes the sentiments in plaths poem which is one of my favourites sung eerily well below
