Poem 125: She Drinks The Sea Of Rhyme Poem by Samer Madbak

She sails for aye
A wanton steamer
On a viewless track
Seeking a ghostly bay…
A dreamer
'Twixt the depths and shores
Of opulence and lack
Of pleasures and of sores…
Into the witching waves
She plummets
Laves
Probing the flow
Singing her pit, her summits
Dissolving
In her afterglow
Ever revolving
In a strand
Of dizzy states
Beneath a thousand moons
She drinks the sea
Of rhyme,
And permeates
The swelling sand
Until she swoons
In ecstasy
Beyond the orb of time…
Until she resonates
With grand
Eternity
With love sublime…
