Beneath Ocean Waves

To long escape beneath mysterious waves
where watery sounds engulf, keep out.
Fluid hands caress fleshly senses
touching, feeling, encapsulating,

drawing in life it would but take.
In wingless flight through ocean's sky,
odd shaped birds swarm oblivious
to intruding limbs, circling, dancing.

Waves of music flow softly, playfully,
colors draw, attract.
Shimmering hues, shadows, twist
flow. Murky fingers green, long,

reach to touch,
possess, take hold.
Bubbles escape, expand, tingle,
tease muted cries that reach for high

glittering diamonds way above,
but depths, darkness,
beckons, draws. Cold, silence,
peace in Poseidon's realm.

About this poem:
their are moments in life where one seeks to escape, I found mine in the watery depths which so engulf and protect, yet in a life of their own seem to beckon one to let go in an eternal bliss...

Thanks for sharing this tender work. I loved it. You took me to the beaches of Indian Ocean where I spent some of my life. Meanwhile, you also made me miss our good fellow Andrew who is away from his home and the corner.

ok, i loved it up until the 'murky fingers green, long'...i have a baseless, irrational fear of giant squid and that's what popped into my head. laugh but in all seriousness, it's a lovely poem, and the ocean does indeed sometimes feels more like home. a soft, gentle, beckoning home. thanks for sharing, zeus! cheers

felt the tentacles of things I fear!

I know amongst the movement sea and colors spectacular!

on shipwrecked rocks and beneath the sands all creatures grow.
the midst beautiful from even the deepest depths,
Loved it!

glittering diamonds way above,

Very nice zeus...
you took us to another world, another reality.


My favorite line is this..

"reach to touch" ... so simply yet so lovely
