Pool Life
I imagine it
as a tattoo
like Tupac’s ‘Thug Life’
and Meyer’s ‘Home Life’
I’d more prefer ‘Ocean Life’
but the water’s too cold today
and it wouldn’t make as good a tattoo
So I swim in the gentle blue
and let the ocean call
like the pull of wild love
I’ll eventually answer to
Like the deep end of a poem
best taken in small doses

I am missing the warmth and gentle waves of the ocean … longing to journey again. Your poem is lovely, sighhhhhhhh.

A poem is like the water, it waves to us and w(h)ets our appetite for beauty. 🙂
