Cobalt Sea Glass Love Poem. (Poetry).


Cobalt Sea Glass Love Poem

E.B. Reid

By the time we found each other
the moshing Atlantic had already
made your jagged edges
soothingly smoother and invitingly bluer.
I treasure your penny size self
more than sapphires
and yet the notion of you sometimes
scares me more than drowning.
With each passing day
I learn to accept and trust
that when I grasp you in my hand
you can not cut my palm
and I will love you
until the moon no longer rules the oceans.

E. B. Reid is a poet from St. John's, Newfoundland.
