55 {Midnight Mermaids}
All day I hear
a gaspy drip drop
salty water on the face of a clock
sloppy images at the edge of a pier
desperate mermaids
licking at my feet
and biting my ankles
beautiful lipped manacles
from all my suckling raw
the ocean's cold teat
a gaspy drip drop
salty water on the face of a clock
sloppy images at the edge of a pier
desperate mermaids
licking at my feet
and biting my ankles
beautiful lipped manacles
from all my suckling raw
the ocean's cold teat

The Return
The sea
Came gushing in
Like stampeding
Wild horses
Their manes
Caught in the chill wind
Like the surf
Then like ghosts
Vanished Into the mists
These were soon followed
By more horses
Rearing up
With the crashing tides
And these too
Would disappear
And so it continued
I remained, transfixed
By these apparitions
Until finally
There was one
That had a silvery horn
I expected that this too
Would go the same way
As all the others
Its mane
White as the surf
As it...

love's tragedy
Love’s tragedy
Once I loved a dolphin and kept her in the swimming pool
I wore a frogman suit we spent hours splashing about
but noticed she was getting sad and missed her own kind
If you love someone, you have to set them free
I wrapped her in wet blankets and drove her to the beach
her family came close to shore, greeting her.
I visited the beach every day, and she glad to see me
as was her family, who accepted me as one of them.
One day when I came for a swim, she wasn’t there

The Mersirens
A giant goldfish bowl
Splashed into the ocean
The life inside
Swam around
As mercurial bubbles
Rose to the surface
As the fish mouths
Seemed to speak....
From my observations
They kept repeating
Just one word
Bub bub bub
Unknown to me
Every bub
Had possible multiple meanings
And it became to late
Before i realised
That they weren't fish
But an alien invasion force
From a distant water world
Within seconds
Or was it days?
A large bubble
Not disimilar

Tea Time
Alice went for a walk
and she'll be right back.
She will bring rabbit to
dinner and if she can't
even a cat will do...

still
no emotion
soon
heaving and throwing
up on the waves of life
empty bottle or ship?
sailing or floating?
drinking all the waters in
until completely dry
an open wasteland
where all the sea creatures die
........memories
of a harpooned mind................

The Chosen One
For you I’m the chosen one, the Unforgotten one.
Once I lay my eyes on you, your spiritual revolution has already begun.
Once in the back of your mind as I study you from afar, now i’m at the forefront.
Challenging every one of your limiting beliefs, my existence stuns.
Just when you swim above water, that’s when I’m far from done.
I’m a siren, pulling you deeper and deeper into your own emotions as we go
From your island, revealing darker truths as you have no choice but to go with the oceanic flow.
You...

Inland swimming pool
Inland swimming pool.
Between two hills, a chasm, in winters rain fills up the gap
a lake is born, in May, June and the middle of July the water
is fine, if a bit greying.
The lake has no outlet and is used by farmers for their crops
if there is scant rain.
In August, the lake is silty, but it is the only swimming pool
we have, we sit by the bank drink beer watch children play
it is our day at the beach.
When the lake is dry, we find skeletons of animals and
that of a missing person who went swimming in the night.
Although we say...

A seraph
I knew as soon as she entered the room
she was unlike anyone I had met before.
She sat down, began some embroidery
a silk dress for a delightful nuptial.
We kissed at the entrance of the door
to hell, the ground was white as snow
her eyes, bottomless green, flickered
in a snake-like desire.
We had been caught in the glare of
unbecoming lust, we ran to the bus
shelter.
Silent rain, she wanted me to take
the late bus heavenward.
The lift was out of order, her face
a was a miasma of the unmembered. ...

astronaut
The astronaut
They said the moon was every surface full
of light, no deep shadows behind rocks
yet an astronaut insists the moon is jam-packed
of folks living in underground cities having hilarious
time hiding from invaders who explore trying
to find life on the moon, a world parallel to the earth.
Invaders in funny suits, stealing rock to take
back to earth to see if there is anything worthy
to exploit.
The cave dwellers shake their heads the sick rocks
that destroyed the moon landscape, they take back
to the earth, what...

The lessons
In life
Are as clear
As a bell;
Who we are,
What we say,
What we do,
Are the points
That we make
Whenever
We shake
What we mean
By what
For us
Rings true.
