Names Of Guardians Of Delphin's See
There are many Names Of Guardians Of Delphin's See
Although there can only be one, the others cannot be
Poseidon, Neptune, Mazu, or even, Ran/Aegir
Or is it Tiamat, or Oceanus, or merely a nereid seer?
For in the darkest depths, of the eternal abyss
Immersed in Protean tales, mythology persists
So to which hydrocrat, is a dolphin's homage paid?
Or is it none of them, for they're all man made
The aggressive delusion, upon terra firm's, rife
And only in dolphin seas, is there intelligent life
For there's nothing beyond, a siren's...

Ocean in Motion
You don’t say that I’ve stopped trying,
I’ve already restrained myself from dying.
You see just a wall, white and wide-eyed,
There’s no word, but the truth you’re denied.
I’ve always loved the idea of flowers,
Changing with each passing hour,
Blooming in color, then fading away—
At least, someday, I’ll expect the change to stay.
You’ll never know what it feels like to be this way,
To give everything and get nothing in return each day.
You look at the sun, but it burns you down,
Caught in the heavy rain, I slowly drown.
...

Broken Hearts
I sail the seas with pride
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love

Soundwaves
Haunted dreams and and daydreams
And echoes of the past
The sound was just a shadow
The last
Gone as the sun went down
Blown over
With the tides
The sea now settled
Waves all crashed
And echoes of the past
The sound was just a shadow
The last
Gone as the sun went down
Blown over
With the tides
The sea now settled
Waves all crashed

Ocean
That old ocean,
salty and steady,
its stomach has been churning
since the day it was born.
Blue/ink-black in the depths
of open ocean.
Clear/Windex blue-turquoise green
at the beach, where the waves
constantly sift the shore sand.
That great salt pond that retains
the minerals rivers and streams
have brought from faraway places.
Who are we to know all its mysteries?
We stand at its edge in fear and wonder.
Curiosity and an adventurous spirit
move some to sail out of sight of land
towards the horizon, which is...
salty and steady,
its stomach has been churning
since the day it was born.
Blue/ink-black in the depths
of open ocean.
Clear/Windex blue-turquoise green
at the beach, where the waves
constantly sift the shore sand.
That great salt pond that retains
the minerals rivers and streams
have brought from faraway places.
Who are we to know all its mysteries?

Shoreside
Feathers in the breeze
On the sea scene
The sea’s scene
By boardwalk painters seized
The sailors dream
Of warm breezes
and sunbeams
The future of tomorrow
Lies in the aspiration and
Visions of the plans
The fishermen see
Tides roll in
And out
Rain or sunshine
The seagulls wander over the shores
Peacefully
Squawking about
On the sea scene
The sea’s scene
By boardwalk painters seized
The sailors dream
Of warm breezes
and sunbeams
The future of tomorrow
Lies in the aspiration and
Visions of the plans
The fishermen see
Tides roll in
And out
Rain or sunshine
The seagulls wander over the shores
Peacefully
Squawking about

The Doreen 'B'
When i was in the merchant navy
I did not have
A girl in every port (or fortified wine?)
I had a porthole in every gale
Which i had to make sure
That it was secure
Against a swelling seas might
I only once forgot
My cabin had a foot of water
Which is quite a lot
More than it oughter
And i had to remember that
My porthole, was not a portal
To a world, where the oceans lay flat
There were moments
Where the terror was stark
As we got caught in a severe storm
(a force eleven, is nobody's heaven)
Fifteen...

restless of flame
how that
sun seems
to reflect
on the
water like
bright
flowers,
its restless
of flame
discontented,
non-stopping
whimsy
purpose
and joy,
its
expressing
deep
purpose
filled
meaning.

lonely harbor
faint noises
came from
that lonely
harbor,
sad waves,
there was
no one
to talk
to
the water,
the boats
anchored
there
are empty,
even
the shore
was asleep,

Irish Eamond
An old Irish man once told me......
A sweet spot is a place.
Where fairies pass over unseen.
Magic passes over too.
He looked like a sweet old fella. But!
Standing behind you, he'd cast spells.
Full of Jiggery pokery & clownish too.
A fan of Crowley & other bunkum.
Even now I miss the old fella,
Wish I'd been more relaxed, back then.
Listened to his tales of leprechauns.
Fairies pixies & puffs n stuff.
If someone asked him, so what do you do?
I'm a...

Left
In the sea
I leave
I leave behind the confusion
Of this delusion
The pearls I made
Shattered and fit
For billowing ocean floor
Applauding the memories I once found dead
I fold
Their story untold
But the sea hears everything
And pushed the writer to continue
The story is not all ruin
I leave
I leave behind the confusion
Of this delusion
The pearls I made
Shattered and fit
For billowing ocean floor
Applauding the memories I once found dead
I fold
Their story untold
But the sea hears everything
And pushed the writer to continue
The story is not all ruin

Hammock
Waves crashing along the seaside
Beneath the diamond lit night
Dreams and fantasies
In the slipstream
Fading out of sight
In a seashell auditorium
Bathed in moonlight
Beneath the diamond lit night
Dreams and fantasies
In the slipstream
Fading out of sight
In a seashell auditorium
Bathed in moonlight
