Briny Bounty

Raiders and the curious pursue to poach what
Barren buccaneers return empty handed

Glowing gold arteries, silver veins, self-composure reigns

Underwater amethyst heart caves burning lava cools into hidden seas

Hissing out holy islands and shrouded sunken grotto silience

I wait on you like an entombed trove of treasure

Pleasures you’d excavate and never regret to uncover

The luminescent veil that separates one another

Once a lost fisherman lost his breath drowned like a bloated whale

Then a boy child, little seahorse, his father’s favorite

Waded in with the undertow, like an accident

Peeked at pearls inside an air pocket

And carried back a valorous gift to mother
