Captive Queen, Submerged In Waves Of A Flowering Sea (16) Poem by Captain Cur

Captive Queen, Submerged In Waves Of A Flowering Sea (16)



While branches leaf and bloom in budding love,
Canopies pierced with light from high above
And the breathing tree's aerations are spread
Beyond limits of their green forest bed
Here my mind splinters in the drifting air
With hints of pine and oak lingering there
Penetrating the deepest parts of me
Submerged in waves of a flowering sea.
Where I hear thy voice, thy sweet spirit sound
Vocalizing itself whispering round
Or a clever deceit of this faint breeze
Tantalizing me through the bustling leaves!
I stood and prayed the coming of the night,
I no longer part of this living light
For hours I wandered, dreamed and lay
And pressed myself against the earthen clay.
