sea – Page 10

Haiku: Beg

Under the starlight,
you beg the full moon to save
the Earth from the sea.

Journey to the coast.
We borrow the sea and swim,
then dance on the sand.

Echoes from the sea
a shell from long, long ago
longing for the sea

A long storm rages
the sea whips about wildly
a long night ahead

Picking up plastic
water bottles by the sea.
So many don’t care.

You swept
me away,
out to sea,
willingly lost.

We were kind, and we were good,
for our lives were not very good when we were younger.

Rumours of wars and postulating,
for we were never calm enough to say there was no fear.

The old stories from long ago,
old tales recent enough now that we are older and wiser.

Buying a colourful apartment,
for we were going to begin our eternity linked in this place.

We loved for a few years here,
the prospect of a miracle on the horizon quite soon, you say.

The morning snow fell heavy,
for we now had the perfect excuse to stay in bed all day.

Entwined in a warm embrace,
for we could feel something terrible would soon arrive.

The ashes and angst to come;
we would not be part of the atrocities our country faced.

We lay together in this place,
for we never felt death touch us in our linked eternity.

Pure Green Tea power
Think of matcha gelato
sitting by the sea

We met on a frozen shore.

Now,

we don’t see the sea anymore.

Rosy red lips,
supple sweet hips.

A mind like a whip
giving you the lip.

Pride and Prejudice vibes,
taking all of those jibes.

Pale innocence is a lure,
a desire for what is pure.

Mazarine eyes of light,
dancing into the night.

A chance to ask her for more,
relieved you don’t see the door.

The sea calls you both away,
to say what you want to say.
