Black sea

Aldous harding

You seduced me

into the black southern sunset sea

out on the point

on the barnacled rocks

surrounded by swirling waters

as the slow tide drops

ocean rise

hypnotise

sadness and beauty

you soften my eyes

sighs of the ocean

wash around me

I slip into stillness

so smooth and inky 

Seaweed seaweed

caress me down

soft sea sing to me

so

Aldous,

Here is your princess (bay)

and there is your horizon

A dark dusking strait

reaches out

to a disappearing island
