THE FOLLOWING POEM WAS SELECTED IN WINGWORD POETRY PRIZE 2023 LONGLIST.
Cool sea breeze,
Ruffling through my hair,
Swishing of the blue, beneath my feet,
The cushioned grains of soft sand,
Nothing less than a luxury…
The horizon, never ending
Goes on and on,
Showing off its might,
Outlining the everlasting waters below…
The sun, with a tinge of gold,
Spreads its art on the turquoise canvas below,
Such a canvas, magical I say,
Changes from the color of daylight,
To the goth of night…
Seemingly dangerous, yet so beautiful,
One can just not resist,
Yes it is evil,
as it engulfs anyone with its,
Astounding poise and fascinating beauty…
So evil, yet so calm,
Deceives with a true charm…
A gentle stroll,
Along the coast,
With the splatter of peace and joy…
Nothing can be more peaceful,
Than the water chatting, as you pass by…
