I didn't know,
even as she wheeled away,
stirring her diseased mind,
even in the impetus of inaction,
downing fireball,
glass after glass after glass
of red red wine.
I didn't know.
But I did know,
that in the Chesapeake Bay,
There was a June morning
where we were all there
and the ocean was shrinking.
And I did know
how much white pearls could
put a caustic fire in my heart,
my lungs swelling to fit the
performance of fits and swelling.

Shore Story
Water trickling along the shore..
From the waves crashing abroad the horizon.
My shades are reflecting blue from the suns powerful rays.
That are beaming down slowly turning my pale skin slightly brown.
As the heat intensifies,
I can feel all the toxins flowing freely out of my body.
Like with each breathe I take,
The salty air cleanses my lungs.
As the smoke rolls between my lips.
From the sticky green leaf that heals and uplifts.
Sitting on the rocks,
Watching the sun slowly set.
Letting go off all negativity that has lead to...
From the waves crashing abroad the horizon.
My shades are reflecting blue from the suns powerful rays.
That are beaming down slowly turning my pale skin slightly brown.
As the heat intensifies,
I can feel all the toxins flowing freely out of my body.
Like with each breathe I take,
The salty air cleanses my lungs.
As the smoke rolls between my lips.
From the sticky green leaf that heals and uplifts.
Sitting on the rocks,
Watching the sun slowly set.
Letting go off all negativity that has lead to...

oceans are drowning
oceans are drowning
i'm homeless tomorrow
my father has parted with this world
my sole link has gone
i named my ship after what you had born
and now it's adrift
there is no turning back for me;
my family threaded apart
and no knowledge of how
to keep friendships together
not everyone can
keep a family whole
some people lose lose and lose
threads falling off of their lives
out of the holes
and into the waters
of oceans drowning by gravity
every moment
i walk down the street
people are pulling me ...
i'm homeless tomorrow
my father has parted with this world
my sole link has gone
i named my ship after what you had born
and now it's adrift
there is no turning back for me;
my family threaded apart
and no knowledge of how
to keep friendships together
not everyone can
keep a family whole
some people lose lose and lose
threads falling off of their lives
out of the holes
and into the waters
of oceans drowning by gravity
every moment
i walk down the street

Florida, 5 miles from my place.
the ocean
speaks in the way
we somehow knew it would.
softly breathing a thousand, million blue syllables
as if all time began
when we learned the words
for sea and sky
and learned
these infinite shades
of our
sea-sweet dreaming
on
these flori-days.

Miles to Travel
Miles to travel
Across the Atlantic and its waves
We could sail over
We could fly over
We could not wait
Then again
We love the ocean
Watching the horizon
The seabirds
The whales
The dolphins
All the animals out there
They come to play over and in the vast waters
With the breeze so fresh
Makes our hair flutter
As we felt a hint of sea spray
Across the Atlantic and its waves
We could sail over
We could fly over
We could not wait
Then again
We love the ocean
Watching the horizon
The seabirds
The whales
The dolphins
All the animals out there
They come to play over and in the vast waters
With the breeze so fresh
Makes our hair flutter
As we felt a hint of sea spray

Beach
In the heat she buried toes,
caught a crab and ran
under the tunnels of fallen stones,
filled a bucket with sea, shells and sand.
Most of the morning she wore a flat-peak,
dug a hole deep as to fill with cool water,
watched a seagull, on a cockle home, peck
drew a line with a flat rock about metre.
In the later afternoon we made the journey back
up the cliff-face worked in by muscle and foot,
to food, showers, bed, according to the clock,
noted the blue of the sky now a late white riot.

Musings...Octet
While I lounge here in my fat chair
looking at a beachy scene...
with table and two chairs.
Day is sunny...surf
sighs gently...sands
sing softly
swaying
palms
time
moves on
outside my
door. Always, they
are in a hurry...
they've no idea what for.
Life should be for living now,
too often there just is no more.

Twilight
fading sounds
the tide retreats
a lull in the distance
the shore is empty
shells along the sand
each alone
a few broken
an evening breeze
the temperature drops
the sun sets
night
silence
the tide retreats
a lull in the distance
the shore is empty
shells along the sand
each alone
a few broken
an evening breeze
the temperature drops
the sun sets
night
silence

Thalassophile
I’ve always lived near the shoreline
grew up swimming in the sea
though I prefer Gaia’s Forests
Her oceans I hold an affinity
Collected empty seashells
danced upon hot sandy beaches
played in coral pocket wells
snorkeled to see how deep it is
I must be a hopeful romantic
lover who delights in salted seas
appreciates the calm & violent
oceans’ stormy personalities
Yes, i
almost always lived near
a seasoned waters' edge

Shipwrecked: Notes of an Online Journal
Shipwrecked
The bilious green of dull and latex walls
Will have me lurch and choke my dinner up.
There isn't any mercy where it falls,
Instead to reach a point to fill my cup.
I don't know what I've done to be in here,
The bilious green of dull and latex walls.
The sick from errant voyage' facial smear,
How quick dishevelment turns to withdrawals.
I seem to hear the gale that with me crawls,
It too must feel the slog from gut to neck.
