"Curse of the Sea"
This was in response to lilyflys Extemporaneous Project
I said I was FINE,
now leave me alone.
You cant fix me this time,
I have to do it on my own.
If you want to help
just sit in the corner there,
be still and be quiet,
like a maiden fair.
dont speak a word,
just light the CANDLE.
Listen to me as I tell my story,
it may be too hard for you to handle.
As the fire burns and flickers
I will tell you my tale,
a tale of a SEA,
gone dry and stale.
They say its a Curse.
The CURSE of the SEA,
a lovers last cry,
of imprisonment to be free.
I do not recall
the exact words he said,
but something like "To dry waters
all you fools will be lead.
There will be no relief,
until someone loves me.
Till I am free of my bonds
I curse these seas."
This man made quite an IMPRESSION on me,
he was locked up for betraying the queen.
Though he never did her any harm,
but he loved her indeed.
She refused to give up her crown for him,
She chose royalty over love.
So she accused him of treachery
and treated him like a thug.
I tried loving him once,
but how do you love a broken man?
When water is all you want,
from the seas of SAND.

Thanks Augustine. The sea is all that and more.
Sea has been a muse to many. It contains power, shifts with the tide, can give you life, can take it away. Sometimes it holds secrets, other times it gives them up. If the seas dry up, then such a crisis it would be. The you have the sea of sand, desolate. Brilliant!

well I'm glad I could give you that feeling through my words. The sea is a very beautiful and enticing place, the sea and the ocean. so very mysterious and full of tales. Can you imagine whole seas just drying up like that? it would be a true curse.
nik,
As usual poetry escapes me but i do like the seaive been to the ocean just once Niagara falls hundreds of times-and to the great lakes dozens of times of the three I truly enoyed the sea, there is nothing like it... and your hubb brought me back there back to the sea...
TH
you're too kind.
- AUTHOR

"When water is all you want,
from the seas of SAND"
niceeee

and yours just as beautiful bb! thank you!
Strong willed women are my curse....and my love...
I think I need a time out in the corner, a candle in my hand, "a fire burns and flickers" as I listen most intently, but handle I will...a passion completely..
You speak to my love, "The CURSE of the SEA, a lovers last cry, of imprisonment to be free."
You speak of a man who impressed upon thee...
You spoke of a man imprisoned by greed
You spoke of a man torn completely apart
You spoke of life as water, and seas of just sand...
One can't help but just wonder, what mountain of man deserves your love's hand....
Godspeed my friend...a beautiufl poem!!!
Much love,
bb....
