Summary: I've just been to Crete for the umpteenth time. I love it there. My favourite thing is sitting by the sea and watching. Not people watching. Sea watching. This was the only thing I wrote in a fortnight (it was a very lazy holiday) and it needs work. It may need binning! :-) Let me know either way.




Sissi Sea


The people here
hold fleeting interest
among the faded
white and blue.
Different versions of me
in another life or time.
 
But the sea...
 
The sea offers secrets.
Promises.  Lies.
Her blue-green
binds you to her
indigo horizon with a
Kelpie's kiss.
 
Unfurling white-lace dreams
at your feet.
Breaking against
shingle and sanity.
To snatch away
and offer anew.
