#seaglass
The salty breeze Such a nostalgic smell As we comb the beach Looking for shells As the gulls overhead Squawk and they cry We lie in the sun Not a cloud in the sky All these unique rocks As far as can see And each of them has Their own story My hair always tussled By the breeze I walk and I smile And I look out to sea

Salty Breeze
i am seaglass collect me along the shore i am once jagged edges now dulled by time and salt wounds full of salt i have forgotten what sweet is foggy clouded clarity lost for the sake of beauty i am discarded collect me along the shore i am scattered in pieces that no longer fit together curves and waves i am tough i am smooth i have lived my life in rough waters water and rock have rearranged my shape i am under your feet collect me along the shore

Seaglass (Collect Me Along The Shore)
Yawning ocean current swallows hollow bottles crushed for blasting back to shore exquisite sparkles. Grace that bears our abject sorrows costs a change forever lasting: birth again as broken marvels.

Sea Glass Grace
I'll take my own experience, Wrap it up and tie it in a bow. I'll take all the things I've felt, Make it poetic and put it in a show. I will build walls around my heart, Then talk about how roses bloom in the cracks. And I'll tell them how you kisses me where you punched, But never tell them I punched back. I will write monologues about the sky And how it reminds me of your hair Or perhaps a sonnet About how I never really cared. I'll take my abandonment issues and sob stories Into the palm of my hand Then crush it into stardust And try to be the sea glass in a beach full of sand But no matter how many Metaphores or analogies I create I can make words beautiful But never my feelings fake. We are poets stuck in a cycle, Blooming blossoms that never change. We are artists making art Out of the beauty of pain.

Why (are) all the poets depressed
Green eyes, worn Like sea glass left behind. Unsure, impure, so full of faults. The pull irresistible Wave after wave of sagacity. I won’t falter, But, gladly, I’ll drown In pools, sea glass green.
