I reached out into an ocean with eyes
That seemed to me to be crystal clear.
But I was the more deceived,
For though the ocean was hypnotic and deep,
Within its darkness there was no articulation
Or coherent thought.
And disappointment and despair took me then,
For from afar I had glimpsed a glimmer of hope,
And it had sparkled amidst the waves like jewels
That glinted in the sun.
And, my heart being lifted,
I had dived without heed or thought of safety
Into the tempestuous and primal waves,
Thinking in my grand naivety that I had found
My own likeness at last, amidst the rampant storm.
But alas! I found no words within those
how does such a booming
voice come from such a
humble body?
how does inspiration come
from such timidity?
come on! just dance!

but now, he moves,

his body jerks this way
and that, like a marionette,
in thrall to the emotion which
courses like the perfect drug
through his mortal veins.

A star of silver set upon a raven brow
Shines in farewell towards the bulging prow
Of a ship that sails towards the mighty Sea,
And a husband standing tall so all might see,
That sons of Kings fear no waves or wrath,
Of ocean spirits tossing brine into their path.
And from a face of ice and stone, a tear escapes;
As water trickles from the thawing of snow flakes;
And eyes burn forth as though from inner fuel,
So that for once they put to shame the jewel
That like a cynosure or liquid moon upon the earth,
Doth like to dim the eyes that gaze upon the surf.
And cast in gold relief by a rising morning sun,
Under a cerulean
Who am I today,
Now that the husk of yesterdays
Me has been shed, and faded away?
I have a face for every day -
Thirty-one in all,
But only a few are shining through,
And the rest await their call.
I may oscillate, but I mostly stay the same
Stay with me now, for I am here,
Though the moon may wax and wane
A dozen times throughout the year.
I must balance my scales
And find some peace within this mind,
Before my endurance gutters and fails,
And my polarities fail to entwine.
