This one is not easy.

"Under the skin" suggests you speak of someone outwardly different to your description, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp.

Inwardly, emotional, even chaotic (raging as the sea). Tides suggest restlessness; related to blood, restless emotion, ebbing and flowing. Tides are subject to storms, are variable, ultimately destructive of land - the shore where you picture yourself. They may, in this instance, be self destructive. The tall ships, perhaps, the navigating forces of the person's (outwardly) rational, well directed self. Perhaps the flesh is the constraint of land in this imagery - a barrier to self expression in apparent stability. Yet vulnerable to erosion.

It seems you seek to join such an experience. The reference to the old gods is almost Lovecraftian; threatening, dark, unknown - yet exhilarating. Perhaps to be a sacrifice to such is to break personal conventions.

Good luck, but be careful what you wish for!

nostr:npub107qd2wh87g7q6e8mdehhy9u0qf3ryh9ndm9z3zzraeq2zpn6wrcsjxv7p6 none of my wishes are careful, Simon.

I don’t know how you cut right to the heart of everything all the time but you do. Is it a blessing or a curse to see things so clearly?

Gravity is that which anchors us to this reality; that seems the simplest interpretation, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp.

Whether those secrets are conscious, whether the refusal is intentional, the result seems the same. The "silent" suffering of one entrapped and wounded.

I can see potential for other readings, but I am uncertain I can make them coherent. They would involve a sense of being pulled apart by various sources of gravity.

nostr:npub107qd2wh87g7q6e8mdehhy9u0qf3ryh9ndm9z3zzraeq2zpn6wrcsjxv7p6 your first impression was correct. Entrapped and wounded has said it more succinctly than I did. Thank you 🖤

Under the skin

You rage like

The sea,

Swell and drown

The tall ships,

Your blood

Pulled

In tidal forces,

This flesh a

Hinderance.

Carry me

Away from

Shore,

An offering

To the old gods

That seethe

Beneath your

Waves.

nostr:npub12s664gw8hufpkexvm9fq069482wkr2rv6fkm6lr4pwjrexsx38eq2yv20q - your work deserves the praise - you write with the stillness of a deep heart and wise eyes. I run a new magazine/community over here on Kbin, The 13th Floor, and just wanted to invite you to post your work there if you're so inclined - your talent would be most welcome, and you're the first on my list of Fediverse invitees.

nostr:npub1h6gms9c0g3gnav6mg5jcx56r9ak0qmaky22lxyuajs5hhzamz78s7fxxhk that’s so cool! I’m incredibly honored! Thank you!

Our hearts and minds meet

Where our lips and skin cannot.

We are closer still

Collide

In this life

Half dreamt

Wholly wept

Like a beacon of light you guide my fright

I promise to give you the sweetest sleep

And my shoulder is yours when you weep”

Within this

Crematorium

Where the

Hours melt

Away like

Flesh from

Bone,

You are

My reckoning.

In a glorious

Yawn of flame

You set me

Ablaze.
