Christmas by the Sea

Almost a two poem thing, elements of both mixing madly...  Was this your intention?

A winsome toast to unrequited love. Your descriptive pen paints a surrealistic setting. I love the dreamscape that you have sketched.I think that soul animals would sound better as animal souls. I do think that the poem would read better if it was broken up into lines. Here is an example:

Moonbeams on the sea,

dredging animal souls to the shore.

A Magician's gift - the silver orb, the lapping water,

and snowflakes disappearing on each wave.

My memories crushed by iciness;

my present real and unresolved.

Starlight glinting in shards of hope;

Christmas cheer in whiskey highballs,

turkey dinners and sherry trifle,

while the eternal continuum, moon-tied, gives in and out,

and a louche couple orgasm wildly,

crossing the seascape to dreamland.

It is pink and blue and violet-cerise,

whilst outside is black magic, encrusted with diamonds,

a yellow moon, hanging by a thread,

retaining its hold on Man.

Hilary, however it's written, this is beautiful.  A lovely thing to read on waking, and I thank you for it.

A beautiful linguistic surprise. The paragraph format gives your reader a concise parcel of sensual Christmas delights.
