Mystic Moonlight!
The torrents of emotions
created a tempest within me.
I escaped home, to the sea
my refuge.
The darkness of the impenetrable sky,
roar of the undulating waves,
mirrored my perturbed mind.
With not a soul around,
just me,
I let the floodgates of the
incessant tears flow,
merging into the salty waters.
The scintillating  pregnant moon
appeared from behind the broody clouds,
she looked down at me with a loving smile.
Captivated by her warmth
I felt my tears dry.
Her benign radiance comforted
my emotional ripples.
The dazzle of luminous stars illuminated my heart,
serenading it, to complement the gleaming waters.
I sat there mesmerized
beneath the surface of the night,
feeling my pain being washed away
until,
the promise of a new dawn embraced me.

Sun n Sea – A Harmony!
Eastern sky glistens
the dreamy sea slumbers on
indolent waves ebb
golden sunshine smiles
sun-drenched tides unfurl magic
turquoise melange
emits a bright trail
kisses the western skyline
lulls the blue expanse
oceanic tides
weaves an endless saga of
cadenced harmony!
Healing Sea!
Fractured dreams lie scattered
pathos looms large
over whelming emotions of life ebb
raucous din reverberates.
As I walk on the sandy shores at morn
timeless whispers of the undulating waves
play a song ,
the consonance of the tides
ring in a reflective melody.
I watch my footprints in the sands of time,
to realize, my illusionary myopic worries
seem to be a minuscule speck,
in the expansive vastness.
The damp redolence of saline breeze
cleanse my emotional core
washing away the chaotic cache,
filling me with propitious vigor!

Sadje’s :What do you see challenge # 20
Paradise!
The shimmering velvety sea
relaxes under the gentle rays of the sun
wisps of clouds stray in the canopy of blue
the endless horizon lost in a reverie
listening to the tales of the zephyr
the fresh ocean scent lingers on
slumbering waves, in its sapphire robe
 embrace the shore, kissing it
A panoramic vista of serenity
envelopes a sense of calm
opening the gateway to paradise!
Amorous Waves!
In response to Susi’s I write her haiku challenge # 22
Amorous waves rise
crimson hues make intense love
tides of passion flare!
Photo Challenge – Vista!
In response to Tuesday photo challenge #161, by Dutch goes the photo.
Prompt : Vista
Recently we visited Cinque Terre, the once isolated string of 5 fishing villages (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso) on the rugged Italian coastline, which today is a popular tourist place. Still maintaining its quaint old world charm, it boasts of some spectacular views of the Mediterranean sea, from atop the cliff. The best way to explore these villages once you get off the train, is by foot. It is dotted with tiny cafes, hiking trails, small vineyards. The houses perched on the steep landscapes, with their vibrant colors make it a visual delight.

A nonet for the above photo prompt!
(Nonet (9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1) progression downward of syllables)
Winds lull the sea , gentle demeanor
the beach drenched in an azure haze
slumbering in its blue robe
the slothful waves whispers
secret messages
embedded deep
 across the
 sands of
 time!
