You never cease to surprise me
Each time l see you
I pine for your touch
Your salty smell intoxicates me.
The bubbles and froth beckon me
to immerse my body and soul
The clinging moss and algae
do not bother me.
Size doesn't matter to you, for the dolphins
and tiny fish swim in harmony
nor does colour, the jellyfish swims
sans contempt with the black sea bass.
The plastic caps and cans bruise your heart
Your beauty tattooed with litter
I try to feel your clean vein
Strands of mixed shreds whirl me
I untangle it,
but the corals and weeds seem asphyxiated.
You are blessed to be salty
else mankind would have parched you.
Your depths hold mysteries unravelled
Your heights a wavy treat for the surfers
You expand tickling surfaces unknown
You contract to cup in palms of dear ones.
Your tides hold gossips of all maritime farers
Be it the fisherman in his dingy boat
Or the lofty ships that sail across.
Your very image evokes emotions unheard
words scratch each other to form unseen lexicon
Every time I visit you, a calmness suits me up
I can never have enough of you.
