When books of poetry fill, swagger dies
The muse sighs- thoughts in a standstill.
A laugh, a smile and then I show you,
Glimpses of dreams cast in china blue.
Walk with me by the sea,
As smoke blows away from mystery.
The oceans have no memory.
In the waves let’s our walled thoughts immerse,
And let the ocean churn up a china blue verse.
Every beautiful thing must slip into oblivion.
But to forget something-one must relive and remember.
Another lover falls to the universe
And the oceans have no memory
Except that of immersed verse,
Cast in china blue and reverie.
/*Ginsberg has a surprise reference watch for it.*/
Let Mr.Wilson tell you about the water and memories
"Glimpses of dreams cast in china blue." love this & delighted to see it repeat....
ReplyDeletewas going for alliteration on this one
DeleteLove those last few lines... a beautiful thought..oceans have no memory. Very nice Suyash.
ReplyDeleteto forget something-one must relive and remember - what a stunning line in this poem..very impressive
ReplyDeleteYes, every beautiful thing must slip into oblivion....but the memories definitely remain...and hopefully there are other beautiful things which follow.
ReplyDeleteto the other beautiful things then :)
DeleteMaybe the sea is like a treasure chest... and maybe what we lost there will come back as a message in a bottle... maybe we have that sea inside.
ReplyDeletehere's to finding messages in bottles ! lovely thought there
Delete'Oceans have no memory' is very relatable...
ReplyDeleteMemory is thought acknowledged...and ocean is but waves of thoughts that approach the earthly shores only to be acknowledged...
now that is a very very interesting take, fodder for another poem!
DeleteWhistles!! ❤💜 This is absolutely gorgeous :D especially adore the images 'Walk with me by the sea, as smoke blows away from mystery.The oceans have no memory. In the waves let’s our walled thoughts immerse, and let the ocean churn up a china blue verse.' Beautifully penned ❤💜
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Sanaa
"...cast in china blue and reverie...." so lovely!
ReplyDeleteDreams cast in China blue.....I enjoyed the depth in your words. lovely poem
ReplyDeleteI sense a (sinister) mystery sloshing about the ocean waves. Deep and thought-provoking.
ReplyDeleteThat depends on whether you want to remember or forget
DeleteMesmerizing and thoughtful. Wonderful writing!
ReplyDeleteI think that the idea of reliving something to forget it will stay with me for a long, long time... What a concept!
ReplyDeleteQuite a thought isn't it? That's why I made it the centrepiece
DeleteWhat a glorious poem this is so full of emotion of letting go of those memories.
ReplyDeletePrecisely the themes
DeleteAnother deep thinking poem.......... the ocean has a magical effect........
ReplyDeleteCertainly does
DeleteA painting through words... Loved the rhymes too!
ReplyDeletei hate to think that every beautiful thing must slip into oblivion, but perhaps that's true, and we have no power over it. :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful pensive moment by the sea!
ReplyDeleteLovely, wonderful last three lines
ReplyDeleteThat final stanza is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous visuals in this poem! I caught my breath........I love "oceans have no memory" and, especially, "Glimpses of dreams cast in china blue."
ReplyDeleteI like the image of the china blue ocean of without memory.
ReplyDeleteI love this:
ReplyDelete"As smoke blows away from mystery.
The oceans have no memory."
Also this:
"Every beautiful thing must slip into oblivion."
I disagree with this, though:
"But to forget something-one must relive and remember."
Forgetting is a matter of replacing. Find something new to do, and you won't remember what you were doing before.
Well even if you are right,it takes a while to find something new.
DeleteI too like the ending lines ~
ReplyDeleteEvery beautiful thing must slip into oblivion.
ReplyDeleteBut to forget something-one must relive and remember.
Classic lines Suyash! Yes, to remember to forget is not easy!
Hank
'To remember to forget' yes that's where it's at
Delete"Walk with me by the sea,
ReplyDeleteAs smoke blows away from mystery."
This invitation appealed to me, and I was not disappointed as I walked with you through the poem.
Why thank you ! It's walks like those that make for good memories
DeleteLovely. I like the repetition of "china blue". Maybe the things we are insecure about need to be relived until we feel can safely forget them...hmm..much to ponder about.
ReplyDeleteIt sort of always comes down to insecurities
Delete"Another lover falls to the universe
ReplyDeleteAnd the oceans have no memory"
This certainly exorcises the idea of being special. For there has been before, and there will continue to be, issues dear to life, which people try to claim as their very own
A stunning write
Much love...
Yes. That calls for a sort of detached attachment because we aren't special yet human life is exceedingly special
Delete"Cast in china blue and reverie." Lovely description.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful!
ReplyDeleteLiked the usage of "China Blue" :)
Memories only live if we don't forget to remember them. I love that... and your "china blue" ocean.
ReplyDeleteAh ! Astute observation!
DeleteVery beautifully written!
ReplyDeleteAmen to the sea's gift of "china blue and reverie"--carved into poetry.
ReplyDeleteLyrical!
ReplyDeleteThe water brings and it takes...I feel the waves of thought, of enlightenment in this.
