I walk, I sit, and gaze so breathlessly
Inhaling this scene of pure tranquility
Such beauty in this moment found
The music to my ears this sound
Of crashing waves and mystery deep
With struggles it intends to keep
I sigh, when thinking of the souls
lost within the deep blue folds
That something tangible, and yet so raw
Can leave you wanting so much more
I tremble as I smell the salt
Mixed with pain and no-ones fault
I look for miles and all I see
Is promise that was meant to be
Amidst confusion and love's sweet hurt
The grains of sand that turn to dirt
Within my hands it seeps to dust
The sadness torn in loss of trust
She is my sea and in whom I confide
My secrets bitter with the angst I hide
Who listens to my torturous words
On gentle breezes once were heard
Her arms of water take me peacefully
Lets me slip within her generousity
My heart is lighter with each step
These memories are forever kept
Within the blue of her embrace
I slip forgotten, without a trace
Surely my lover will think of me still
This deed I do against my will
Oh my sweet, the moments had
Left me happy but also sad
I needed more than was given me
And so I turned towards my Sea
So now I rest and hold you near
With each new wave I shed a tear
Pray not, for I am now at peace
Within her watery seaweeds wreath
Amongst the souls of days gone by
With now a smile and no need to cry
Come and sit and get your fill
With crashing waves I 'm with you still
Inhaling this scene of pure tranquility
Such beauty in this moment found
The music to my ears this sound
Of crashing waves and mystery deep
With struggles it intends to keep
I sigh, when thinking of the souls
lost within the deep blue folds
That something tangible, and yet so raw
Can leave you wanting so much more
I tremble as I smell the salt
Mixed with pain and no-ones fault
I look for miles and all I see
Is promise that was meant to be
Amidst confusion and love's sweet hurt
The grains of sand that turn to dirt
Within my hands it seeps to dust
The sadness torn in loss of trust
She is my sea and in whom I confide
My secrets bitter with the angst I hide
Who listens to my torturous words
On gentle breezes once were heard
Her arms of water take me peacefully
Lets me slip within her generousity
My heart is lighter with each step
These memories are forever kept
Within the blue of her embrace
I slip forgotten, without a trace
Surely my lover will think of me still
This deed I do against my will
Oh my sweet, the moments had
Left me happy but also sad
I needed more than was given me
And so I turned towards my Sea
So now I rest and hold you near
With each new wave I shed a tear
Pray not, for I am now at peace
Within her watery seaweeds wreath
Amongst the souls of days gone by
With now a smile and no need to cry
Come and sit and get your fill
With crashing waves I 'm with you still

Overall Vision Originality
Technique ImpactLike the deep-blue sea there is so much richness and so many applicable metaphors swimming about in this poem that it is hard to describe them all. in my opinion a well-written poem leaves much to the imagination while still giving it a guide to follow.
The woman in the picture is obviously contemplating losing herself in the calm blue in order to escape the salt-tang that is the bitterness of love's pain, in order to quite the memories of her beloved that were once precious grains of sand but are now become handfuls of dirt and finally the dust of death.
it seems that the sea is both her best friend and confidante and her means of death. But also the sea represents the deep and turbulent mysteries of love that so often goes wrong. It seems she ends by assuring her lover that she will be closer to him/her within the 'deep blue folds' than when she was within his/her arms.
altogether a rich and gothic read, and very inspiring in a desolate way, if that makes any sense.
