Sandcastle Trip

By scarletara

Glowing ghost ships soaring, sailing,
Becloud a black ocean of midnight sky.
Phosphorescent frostiness paling, trailing,
Migrate mirroring moonlight, sailing nigh.

Suspended ships shining in a luminous hue.
Silvery ships of intense twilight blue.

Long legged palm trees pose, ruffled, reaching,
Wearing fiery earrings of distant diamond stars.
Aglow in the pitch velvet above, stretching, seeking
Piercing pinholes twinkling winks that are ours.

Sand sown of seashells soothes and spits out
Spiral treasures chasing waves about.

Constant hissing deep, crashing, calling.
Salty tides in lunar obedience reach.
Thunderous foamy waves sounding soothing,
Mercilessly pound at the dark empty beach.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
Just not fall asleep tonight.
Starlight, starbright,
Sweet memories made, always to keep, tonight.

Black water crushing against the shore. No one is around. Its like having an intimate moment with nature. You've got skills.

    Bam! my jaw just hit the floor. Your visual telling is just superb. You have such great talent. So why would someone pull in a piece of someone elses poetry? Those two lines don't even come close to what you wrote above them. With your talent you could easily penn something 10 times better than that. write on.
