Excellent Free verse Tormented by Sanku

Like a mermaid, I floated in the encircling sea (my legs had disappeared, my hands frantic) Pushing the waves I cried,"Let me go, you brutes Don't hold me back, I have to catch him." But you were ahead, far ahead. I surfaced on to the "surf tormented shore" I was alone but for the mocking hiss of the waves As the tide of sleep and dream receded All that left was sediments of bitterness Even in my dreams I couldn't grasp you. Recognized Author Notes I never thought of surf tormenting the shore .For me surf seems to hug or kiss the shore. So the quoted line from Edgar Allen Poe stayed with me. I think the poem is called 'Dream'.
