Wet dreams (Free verse) by ecargo
I dream of seas, a blue-smoke glow
surrounds me as I sink below
the churning tides, and I am found
or foundering or drowned.
Awash in multicolored shades,
I dive, pale ghost, beneath the waves,
descend with the spray of sun
to depths that swallow sea-washed light,
ballet realms of lissome beings
rich with song and ocean sway.
I watch as whale calves undulate,
their fat black rubber bodies glide
along the unseen curves and ways
of currents, until, brought up short
by mother bulk and wary eye,
they submit to nudge and slide of anxious love.
And there I hide, a sea-sprung wraith
lost to sun but finding faith,
a glimmer in a great black eye,
rising through the depths of night
to burst into pellucid sky.
