Distant Shores

Michael Marchese

By Michael Brandon MarchesePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Lately it seems like

My ocean is broken

Like waves crashing into me

Enter

My entity

Now

The sea sounds

A faint echo

Of memory

Even its

Tempest temptress

Was serenity

Bottled up notes

That I wrote in

Sincerity

Never made landfall

Or fell for a lover

That swept me away

Like the depths I discovered

Whenever I would

Stand before it enthralled

By its roaring enormity’s

Beckoning call

To return to its sirens,

Poseidon’s

Leviathans

All of its mythical

Mysteries

Mine again

From the pen flowing

My deepest blues muse

On a tropical cruise

To the soothsayer tune

Of the lullaby moon

But the dunes have surrounded me

Shipwreck rocks pounded me

Anchors weighed down

To abysses

Confounded me

Bound to this heartbroken

Ocean

Still drowning me
