Taciturn humming, calcified demur
ensues from a battle without succour
carbuncular jewel in a crag port nestled
tight shut oyster by the riptide embezzled
on an underwater cliff
navy blues of wavy loneliness
impassive mayday from a marooned skiff
carried away close to an inhospitable shore.
Precarious steps of a newly hatched sea turtle
lurking a seagull behind veils of vapour
accelerating bird of prey flying the hurtle
the gluttonous snatch of goodness by an invader
evidence the scratches on the shell
strong currents, defenders the enemy expel.
Crushing waves mute the sobbing
riveting gesture of sheltering waters
unexpected kindness in a nodding
safety provided by magnanimity
heart bigger than an ocean can hold
irradiation coming from one made of gold
nurturing and healing proximity
glares mitigated from a liquid stronghold.
Teachings on a friendly undertow
one idempotent matrix transmuted
greatness in the company of empathy
eventually the pearl finds its inner glow
taught to tell the difference in an ocean polluted
hazardous plastic bags from jellyfish alimentary
extrasensory amity outlined in the flow so well
rancour is wide and fearsome outside a diving bell.
Story of the sea turtle and the undulation
two kindred spirits in constant motion
revelled in the melody of mutual affirmation
on the go practicing marine hobbies with devotion
never staying in one place for too long
gales were insignificant below the surface
link was established unbreakable and strong
young and wild years were only the preface.
Cardinal numbers in a larger than life set
auxiliary aid manifested itself via bijection
unseen intervals had sewn a safety net
sadly, soon would end a transpose relation
inside the fluid matrix of our world
neutralised was the symmetry of siblingship
graph depicting injection, twin fins, furled.
Many a tale was told about islands floating
amongst the garbage patches
silently, marine litter, dangerously roaming
solitude's shadow in front of sinking ashes
instructions followed to the letter
visceral gorge left an incurable scorch
entering a race to decide the pacesetter.
Exhaling in nostalgic recollection
a bundle of boxed memories collecting dust
recordings of adventures reminding lost connection
the mementos fractured by mistrust
happy birthday cards and parties
quips made on the spur of the moment
united with a pinky swear past our forties
alongside each other taking down any opponent
keepsakes of best times in our lives
endless summer burning like a candle bright
soulful songs whose lyrics now cut like knives.
