'I have mislaid the torment and the fear'
The cold
Withers the sky,
Corpse-grey bandage
Shrouds the sea skin.
Alone on the beach
Seeking syllables in the sand,
Semaphore of my flagging heart
Braille blinks to Gods of indifference.
Smokey breath of seventh cigarette
Wisps a muddy patina on ocean table.
Heavenly (en)trails
Tear guts from clouds,
In pumice schorls
Deep-sleep rain shoals
Sail too close to a heart,
Raw & tender- as if slain
On a butcher’s slab.
Brined broken^breakers
Breach the headland, ...
Withers the sky,
Corpse-grey bandage
Shrouds the sea skin.
Alone on the beach
Seeking syllables in the sand,
Semaphore of my flagging heart
Braille blinks to Gods of indifference.
Smokey breath of seventh cigarette
Wisps a muddy patina on ocean table.
Heavenly (en)trails
Tear guts from clouds,
In pumice schorls
Deep-sleep rain shoals
Sail too close to a heart,
Raw & tender- as if slain
On a butcher’s slab.
Brined broken^breakers
Breach the headland, ...

Broken.
Do not attempt to fix.
Intentionally disturbed.

(…)
Between these fires and our home
Is a bridge we cannot cross,
Where in vain our spirits roam
To what never was: our greatest loss.
Ah! Alone with sky and sea,
We see the dying of the day;
As all we thought was meant to be,
The flame is borne away.
Alas! My voice calls out to thee
And begs, ‘What light is there to shine?
For though the stars look down on me
These are no flames of mine.
‘And thou who, like the sea, doth roll
O’er my bones may take these sands,
Ah thee! I leave thee now my...

SHRINKING FEELING
May get shrinking feeling
when you're first revealing
in naked company
one's own anatomy.
But as air feels less cold
you warm inside, you're bold.
It's so more relaxing
as you're bare skin maxing.
to the sun warmth and breeze
and water of the seas
when you paddle then dip
after that cold first nip.
Next time you're more daring,
to be seaside baring
like a duck to water,
no body supporter,
in the equality
of social nudity.
The first time diffidence
grows into...

The water
Water is amazing thing,
Brought her closest to peace,
Rather it roaring or silent as can be,
Cloud cover, sunshine, or moonlit,
Let me drift,swim,put feet in or just sit and gaze upon the water,
It brings calmness to my brain and soul,
Bit by bit strings of words unravel and unwind,
Emotions, thoughts so intertwine,
Ocean, rivers, waterfalls, channels, creeks, bayou, ponds, lakes and puddles,
Even rain falling fast from the sky,
Believe in when I say, can always let the water wash away,
Allow your mind to be silent,
Or let the...

Driftwood
drifting on the seas of fate
tossed by storms
but free of hate
I am carried by the tides
seeking a future that hides
in crashing waves
as riptides enslave
looking for a direction home
that's lost within this poem
but once there was a map
a treasured scrap
drawn with a loving hand
and a compass to command
that pointed toward your heart
but the compass broke with my soul
an agonizing toll
and the map had warned
"there be...

How Do You Like My New Bikini?
When she saw me staring at her on
that beach, she smiled, turned around and
asked "How do you like my new
bikini? I just bought
it online." which made
me want to make
a grab for
her right
there.

I lost you
Darling keep your eyes open
am I fast asleep
or am I drowning in this ocean
of words and wounds
keep your head afloat
or you might not wake up
If I could take it all back
I'd grab you, darling
Never looking back
I lost you
sinking down below waves
take a breath
I can't let you go
you're a pond
and I'm an ocean
Lost things always get found
but not always by the right person
and that person is me
I've got you now
and I can't let you go
am I fast asleep
or am I drowning in this ocean
of words and wounds
keep your head afloat
or you might not wake up
If I could take it all back
I'd grab you, darling
Never looking back
I lost you
sinking down below waves
take a breath
I can't let you go
you're a pond
and I'm an ocean
Lost things always get found
but not always by the right person
and that person is me
I've got you now
and I can't let you go

Last one's to leave
Sunset slips over fish and chips,
greasy fingers and salty lips.
Empty beach, soft warm fleece,
children yawn, storied to sleep.
Mum and dad take some time,
watch the waves, bottle of wine.
Cooling sand as the Seagulls come,
windbreak flaps at the last of the sun.
greasy fingers and salty lips.
Empty beach, soft warm fleece,
children yawn, storied to sleep.
Mum and dad take some time,
watch the waves, bottle of wine.
Cooling sand as the Seagulls come,

While Getting Some Sun
While getting some sun,
I saw bikini girl look
at me with a smile.

Licking, old, leg, hair....
I don't have a beach to wander
to leave footprints as I ponder
There's no mountains in my view

The trees spared by the city
are not a forest, that's a pity....

A walk in the woods
Geflecht aus Efeu ungebändigt
Tiefes Tal
Und ach so weit
Dein Morgentau mir ausgehändigt
Im tiefen Dunst aus Abendgrau
Im nebel deine düfte küssen
Dein Bach
So schillernd
Lockend klar
Als würd ichs ewig lieben müssen
Und kosten deiner blüten schar
Tiefes Tal
