awakened by sailors milky tears
from depths beyond the sun
she rose red ribbon bound
born of shell and bone,
sand shifted
muted fish schools scattered
his embrace she sought,
scarecrow masted vessel
dashed upon sharp geology,
to safety they leaped,
cruel sky streaked by storm
and acoustic rumble,
body battered in dinghy lay
hand outstretched
fingertips testing jagged surface,
light shone and radiated
in her eyes as close rose
long limbed form kelp caressed
finding him now face down
closer towards him,
lifting his frame from sea to shore
air sharp on lungs
heart pounding,
ship exploded a desolate fireball
as she bowed over him
lips to his,
spluttering coughing
found himself exhausted
and willing in her eyes
bonded by kiss
in eternities grasp

Pity the reader has to scroll to read the poem. Doesn’t help one’s concentration.

“…bonded by kiss

Beautifully captured, lovely storyline.
Curious why the double-spacing always between each line. Causes pausing on each line in my humble opinion does not read as smoothly as it could. Still perhaps, just your style.
Nicely penned 🙂
