Ocean Revolution
Born into the storm
To cry against the sky
And sail into this hell
Not knowing why
A ruse that lit the fuse
Imagination's devastation
The strife of living life
Unknowing try
The waters that bother
A ripple equal to crippled
To wave away the day
Watch it pass by
The growing of unknowing
Miserable individual
Existence missed it
Observe it die
The reflection of connection
An end to the wind
When, it comes again
The sea will rise
To cry against the sky
And sail into this hell
Not knowing why
A ruse that lit the fuse
Imagination's devastation
The strife of living life
Unknowing try
The waters that bother
A ripple equal to crippled
To wave away the day
Watch it pass by
The growing of unknowing
Miserable individual
Existence missed it
Observe it die
The reflection of connection
An end to the wind
When, it comes again
The sea will rise

Cardiff
Seeing in wings of dragon red
And sooty mocha of castle walls
Trees rising in spring salad florets
To flecked sienna grouse's calls
A two octillion ton
Yellow rose: the sun
Encased in blooming chicory sky
With xanthous petals giving light
To pink champagne truffle
Blossoms snuggled
In blankets python green
Prim and sanguine
Amidst school bus-coloured tansy
Hemorrhage crimson geranium frenzy
And gossiping birches
For chipmunk...

Lewis
Crowning the day
With seaweed tresses
Shells shaped
Like a lioness's
Face
And all the grace
Of waves
Racing tides
Like flocks of
Teal hummingbirds
Under clouds of
White doves
In bluebird sky
Peach rose petal
Trails
Of sand
Joining sea
And land
As though
In matrimony
Of darkness
And glow
Wedding softness
And hardness
Occasional posies...

The Sea's Love
Standing on the rocks looking far and away at the wave
I saw you alone and naked, passed back and forth between the waves
Existence was confronting me, the froth was little more than covering
The turbulence of the whirllpools was more than just bubbling
The color of your eyes changes with the tides
Tidal pools meant for bathing become the perfect place to hide
There is so much going on, clams and crabs showing their jealousy
Although they try to blind me, I'm still watching you roll in from the sea
Waves crash and rebound, at times the...

His Ripples
The tiny ripples in his ocean will always belong to a different ocean, and those ripples trigger his devotion as he sails my seas, and my heart belongs to the ocean as I rest upon his sun drenched vastness whilst cradling his salty tears, embracing his flaws whilst holding his woes to enable him to find the calm in the midst of a storm, unlatch him from the screams that haunt his waking hours as they hold his heart hostage.
Cooling his explosive hothead whilst humming my song upon his lips, straddling his waist whilst we sit face to face, sharing breath and sentiment, lightly...

On the Shore
The sun like a ripe pear
Leaking juicy rays
Onto watercolour grey
While sand filters through toes
Like coffee grains
A painted horizon absorbed
Into lapis lazuli eyes
Embedded in bloodshot matrices
Shaped and peeled like almonds
Retinas drunk on a rice wine
Of stratus and stratocumulus
Cottony celestial cocktail of
Softest rain suspended in place
Floating miniature oceans
Dressed as snow white kittens
Waiting to fall into the...

Cytherean Eldorado
These uncharted waters
are dizzying
& disturb
The orientaion
of
hight
depth
distance
&
time;
I have forgotten who I am
or where I came from,
In search of Cythera
or Eldorado -
Because I had nothing better to do,
or,
Because
I
was
looking
For
the
equivalent
of
You.

Queen Anne's Revenge
Ship slipped
into
Slip stream

That waved
As
Splashes
Splashed
Brash
In spritzes
capturing
moonlight

Breaking away
into
Spiral shaped eddies
Into

Sailing
Clouds like wet white t-shirts
Hugging blue curves of sky
Balletic grace of seagulls
Wings intertwined with
The symphony of a breeze
Fickle winds like Balanchine
On which to dance happily
Purest sails like gliding swans
On wooden thrones
Enthroned and calm above
Clouds of foam
Like a sky beneath a sky
Trailing fingers in fingered waters
As we sail peacefully by
Into a mist of things unknown
Maybe the sea should have been our home...
Hugging blue curves of sky
Balletic grace of seagulls
Wings intertwined with
The symphony of a breeze
Fickle winds like Balanchine
On which to dance happily
Purest sails like gliding swans
On wooden thrones
Enthroned and calm above
Clouds of foam
Like a sky beneath a sky
Trailing fingers in fingered waters
As we sail peacefully by
Into a mist of things unknown
Maybe the sea should have been our home...

There's No Place Like Nowhere
Picture yourself if you will
Cerulean skies and wind in your hair
You haven't ever know freedom until
You're on a boat headed for nowhere
Picture yourself he said
As he drew me a sketch
Tracing the sun and writing my name
Lenny smiled like a schoolboy
As he finished his etch
Disappearing as quick as he came
There's no place like nowhere he wrote
When you're out in the swell of the water
All you can do is sail the great blue
When life gets a little bit...
Cerulean skies and wind in your hair
You haven't ever know freedom until
You're on a boat headed for nowhere

Disappearing as quick as he came
There's no place like nowhere he wrote

Waves
up and down in constant motion
waves of waves roll in the ocean
disappearing without warning
waves returning keep reforming
rolling in across the ocean
waves of waves of waves in motion
crashing, splashing on the seashore
sounds expanding as they each roar
molecules of water fleeing
individually each being
in a field of liquid wonder
rising up and sinking under
in the morning, slowly warming
summer day in hazy dawning
Moon a crescent in the sky
as time keeps passing slowly by...

Coupon! 2 butterflies for 6$
It’s darkened
We’ve been here for hours
We slept together
Long day
Running back and forth
I kept trying to pull you
Like a yoyo string
But the string broke
And I had to rewind the string
And I realized
I wasn’t supposed to pull the string at all
I am to let the yoyo fall
Pulled by gravity
Not by me
Who am I to control the sea
I am not the moon.
We’ve been here for hours
We slept together
Long day
Running back and forth
I kept trying to pull you
Like a yoyo string
But the string broke
And I had to rewind the string
And I realized

I am to let the yoyo fall
Pulled by gravity
Not by me
Who am I to control the sea
I am not the moon.
