Marlin
Calm waters kiss my boats bow—the orange blue heavens
Intertwine
The sky and ocean becoming one like lovers. I know this life-
Fulfilling
Clear murky water—Oh, the salt still taunts my scars.
Tranquility:
Not a bird in the sky, nor seagull learning to fly—no gushing of
Winds
Destroying of sins—just the secrete whispers of the water and my
Soul.
Pole mounted with temptation hanging below—what gilled creature shall be
Vulnerable
To an unknown? I, the sailor, hear the screeching and rush of my
Line
Diving into the ocean depths inside a beautiful monster’s mouth.
Straining,
Sweating, burning fire as I reel him towards his death—arms and muscles continue to
Shed
And bleed. Veins burst—why do I leave myself alone? Oh,
Where
Did this shined creature bring my soul? Water fills my hungry lungs as I am
Lost
In the black-poisoned eyes of the gilled beauty. The spear snout
Taunts
My escape as its rigid body thrust deeper. Distorted from life—I free myself from its
Prison.
Body numb—limbs are under a motionless spell. How shall my eyes
See
Anything besides dark beauty-blue of entrapping water? Oh, what do I
See
As the sun slowly melts with the water—slight tossing of a
Breaking
Light—ship’s shadow kisses my return. Raw-bloody hands and
Face
Embrace the sweet atmosphere.
I stand on the bow as calm waters
Kiss and the orange
Blue
Heavens intertwine the sky and
Ocean becoming
One like Lovers forevermore.
