Salt stung

I held you like water and you slipped through, slow and deliberate like the tide withdrawing secrets from a shore that begged to be kissed You murmured storms into my mouth, lips salt stung, breath bruised with longing and the shame of everything unspoken And I still taste the hush of you the way your hands clung not to hold, but to haunt

— n.a., Almost Light

Like lace on black sand, poetry of the sea on the beach at Ajuy, Fuerteventura.

I want to sway in your ebbs and flows, around and around and around I’ll go.

I want to dance in your under toes,

tip toe with my bare feet-it’s your spirit I’ve come to know.

I want to be the salt in your hair, on your lips.

The light that navigates when you come and when you go.

It’s your spirit I’ve come to know

Don’t forget your way back home.

she rocks the boat and sings the sailors songs filled with stories to bring home to those who have no yet met her

starboard and port speak to each other talking about the things they each have seen and comforting one another from their respective sides

the lines have been tied the land is no place for a seasick sailor the sea is a companion the sea is an escape

the sea is solace the sea is a long lost lover

land is no place for a lonesome sailor the bow knows what lies ahead and the stern knows what has been left behind

she has built a home for those who yearn to escape without the loneliness

the sea is solace the sea is a long lost lover reaching out with her arms stretched to greet you and bring you back home

Into the deep blue world Where the crashing of the day suddenly stops Huge sentient beings roll and call Sharp jaws linger in the deep darkness below The allure of this life giving place Not one person can ignore To feel the grit giveaway to it's cool embrace Your problems and fears melting away It's bounty is limitless My curiosity endless The sea beckons me #authorschallengecommunity #writerscommunity #writingcommunityofinstagram #authorschallenge2019 #seapoetry #postprompts https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HecMegORO/?igshid=aiuap4zi8o7i

I grew up on the coast of Florida and visit it often. Hurricane Michael has left an area of North Florida decimated. We should help them and not forget their struggles. Unfortunately this is not the first or last hurricane that will make landfall. There is also an undeniable beauty in its structure. #naturepoetry #oceanpoetry #sealover #seapoetry #floridalife #hurricanemichael #floridaliving #floridawriter #Capesanblas #floridastrong #floridalove #oldflorida #hurricane https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXvOVvBpWe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nurtk1p6vt8e

“

i dont like the sound of thunder

ive always associated it with goodbyes

i dont like the sound of thunder

it reminds me of the gunshot that took your life

i dont like thunder, it reminds me of death

it reminds me of the last thing i would hear when i take my last breath

i dont like the sound of the sky crying and calling out for help

my dear, why are you crying?

you already know that the ending’s no fun

its just my temple on the edge of the barrel of a gun

”

//i just really hate thunders, sea
