Soul Waves

Diving into mirror pool of my soul,

I hear a splash but can’t seem

to reach the white-capped brine

of floundering past

as I grow cold and shiver

in its fading rippled reflection.

Moody swan wings through my veins,

hearing waves of my soul

throbbing inside and outside

on sheen of mirrored water.

Two faces under water struggle

with swells of true essence,

sands of time burst out of my heart

drowning in turquoise tears.

Tides weep in salted crash of currents

duplicating the shell of my soul

I watch my ship sink into the silt

blowing whispers into my heartbeat.
