    Children of the Sea

    In the hospital by the sea  the old man lay dreaming of hope  and love song of whales    He swam all night  crawling through dreams  over soft susurration waves  and awoke, stick dry,  to staring nurses  and the sound of a huge belly  scraping over the shingle

    • This makes one think. I like it.

    • Powerfully penned, Ghosteen. Excellent write my friend. This one has layers. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Thank you Damian. Ii is truly refreshing to see a member who is so kind and encouraging to fellow scribblers. Respect. Rob

    • Me being an ocean goer, get it. Although my ass is going to end up in Texas eventually, LOL. I love swimming in/under the ocean. We used to play in riptides, for Christ sake! (Don’t panic, go with the currents, etc).
      I’ve swam in it during a thunderstorm, at night, name it.
      One of the VA hospitals near here is partly over the water. My dad was there awhile, before going home to pass on. Yet, it seemed so cruel for the patients to look out the windows at the water… I dunno.
      Anyway! I sense morphine in your write. (I’ve had my days on it!)
      You take us on quite the journeys when you explore your mindscapes. I’m all in!

      • As per, you get me Mark (or, at least, try to see under the currents).
        Swam in thunderstorms? There’s a trilogy of poems in itself. The UK is such a small island, at no point is one further than 70 miles away from the sea.
        One of our school friends (we were 9) drowned and from various parts of the promenade we saw this small creature taken lifeless to an ambulance. Haunted many.
        I forget you are ex military. Is that the morphine? 2 of my good friends are ex UK special forces and they reside in your part of this mad universe.
        Respect. Rob

        • Yeah, good ol Army injuries, etc. Six surgeries over the years, in and out of the military. So I was acquainted with “morph” a few times. I love the visuals I got while on it. LOL.

          • Ha. The world would be a better place if every1 was prescribed morphine daily! During the rave culture (late 80s / early 90s) ecstasy was the pill to pop.
            ‘Dave one ball’ had his testicles rearranged courtesy of an IED in Afghanistan. No one – and I mean no one – calls him that to his face. I have so much respect for vets. Some write about how “tough” they are, whilst others have actually lived it.

    • I’ve read this over 3 times. Dreams are a magical gateway.
      Makes me wonder how our experiences change the older we get.
      There is something about it that sticks to the mind.

      • Thank you A. You and Mark need to go swimming under moonlight. A poem for all ages.
        Age is the strangest conundrum. Who wants to grow up, who wants to go back?

    Pillow talk and... dirty sex

      Pillow talk and dirty sex We were in the bed upstairs, eating cereal. It seemed logical at the time. After two insane rounds of sex, I was hungry. Seriously. I wanted to be in the bed, because it was soft and...

    • This is so freaking tasty, you are one of the few that will take it this far Lady. There are those that love their actions but hidden, there’s nothing like bringing them to the light. Tight

      • Thank you ME. I have mad respect for your opinion. I’m not good at hiding. Not at all.

        Glad to have been seen.

    • Thank you! Thank you for explaining why we don’t like to completely shave bald! You explained it perfectly.
      Mark has asked me the same question! He wants to shave it because he’s curious.
      I mean, it’s not like I don’t have pussy manners (hehehe) I trim!
      As for the rest of the write I bow to you oh great one! I loved all the witty banter. You are fabulous my dear!

      • RIGHT?! Pussy manners don’t mean it’s bald. It’s like the porn ‘stache for females.

        Thank you my sweet friend, glad you liked it.

    • You had me at butt sex haha. Super sexy and wonderfully written.

      • Same! Butt sex is just fun to say, and then everyone gets really embarrassed.

        Except me. I don’t get embarrassed by anything.

        Hey, glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment.

    • Disgustingly moreish and indulgent! xx

    • You really need to consider a literary agent Boo. Look at the commercial success of 50 Shades.

      • I’m thinking of taking Betty in that direction. I wanted to flesh out some existing prose bits… and maybe? You know? Maybe find something a little deeper and darker and longer… that sounds like a euphemism for a dick, but really it’s just about art.

    • So now when I snack on my Cocoa Pebbles, I’m gonna be thinking’ about it lead to drrty buttt sexxxx.

      ~eats Cocoa Pebbles~

      (And if anyone asks me what I’m thinking about, my response will be “you wouldn’t believe me if I told you”)

      • Ben, if you’re thinking about anyhting other than dirty butt stuff you’re living life wrong.

        Nobody ever believes the shit that comes out of my mouth when they ask what I’m thinking about. Seriously. It’s like a chaos dumpster filled with decay and unicorns and glitter and dried jizz. All at 1,000 miles an hour.)

    The Far Side of Pain

      The Far Side of Pain   The vortex of pain does have a bottom. True, after you reach oblivion, skin shredded, bloody, and lying in a pool of anguish, there comes a calm, a realization you have been reduced, and relief is found in the jab of a...

    • I’m aware of the phases of pain, Curt, and you seem to be as well, tho I do see some differences in our perceptions of it. You might like my piece, “Dark Alice Comes to Call.” Hmmm, I just checked, and it seems I never uploaded that one. Strange, I’ll have to remedy that. In the meantime, along the same lines is, “Dead Muse.” It’s here somewhere.

      • Hi FlatDaddy, thanks for the comment. And I will read “Dead Muse”. Perhaps you posted “Dark Alice…..” at WritersCafe’?? I will look there to see and read.
