A ship rope knotted with cotton thread
I am maroon-cropped, sunken
and shipped out – The harbor wall,
I let my guard down with both dead legs
hanging. The numb floozy...a heretical
constant angel. Clung-to and taught with a line,
wearing to the shore all the wingless nike
and heavy shells of the love...the love that will have to be left behind.
These wet shoes hanging, dripping,
drying against the radiator.
The thymine aroma of black market rubber
and slave-labor lace...
there, where your deep eye shadow
with all...

eavesdropping
I dive in head first
The freedom is as intoxicating as
if I were swimming in gin.
I can move in any direction or
just stop and float awhile,
not even birds can do that.
Yet it isn't clear like the liquor,
it's blue like a perfect sky, tranquil turquoise.
air bubbles are rising to
the surface in their clustered way.
In the white sunbeams,
the corals are dusky pink, others uplifting orange.
schools of bright-hued fish and
strange sea flowers decorate the sand floor.
I swim past the reef into the deeper blue, ...

AS FAR AS THE EYES CAN SEE
From once upon a time there were stories told about countless travels of endless journeys, across the wide open and deep seas stories of far away places surrounded by the true beauty of nature and the deepness within the depth of the beauty. For it is those stories that tell us how far the ocean flows with its depth of the seas, drifting far and wide across vast uncharted territories yet most have never been explored by mankind. For it is said beneath the surface of the seas, lays down at the bottom vast wonders of sea life creatures, that have dwell in the abyss of the darkness where light...

The Fairy Whisperer
She meets with her little fairy friend
At the rock agreed upon
It's her favorite thing to do
Quite early before dawn
They discuss the ocean's secrets
As they sit side by side
They have their little tales to share
Of the seahorses, dolphins and whales
At the rock agreed upon
It's her favorite thing to do
Quite early before dawn
They discuss the ocean's secrets
As they sit side by side
They have their little tales to share
Of the seahorses, dolphins and whales

Shark Tooth Tavern
Chapter ONE
Blackstone lighthouse peered over Tentacle bay. The colony was cut into the dark marble cliffs above. The buildings shone into view as a swarm of bats spiralled by. The waves were menacing, lit up by the flash of fork lighting. The Shark Tooth Tavern peered back across the raging waters. It was dug into the rock high above the Bay. Those that frequented it enjoyed warm nights sipping at their drinks and staring into the never-ending storm.
They led slow and repetitive lives, often spending months waiting for news from the home colonies, they waited for a change in...

La Mort du Roi Dada Neptuna
Photo/ untittled, by dkzk, c2020a.d.
it seems we must have
missed the news.
Or, perhaps it was clothed in the garb of
obscurity.
King'dada Neptuna
has not been seen
on the coast,
where he was oft visioned
everyday,
crashing waves, ...

Sun Kissed
I am small...
Just a tiny speck
On the face of the earth
Much like a little
Grain of sand
I am content to be
Just what I am
No more...no less
I feel little...
I press my face against
The warm wet sand
Waves are crashing
Out there in the ocean
It is so quiet here
Except for the sea sounds
I am being kissed by the sun
I am tiny....
Like a little ladybug
Or a simple blade of grass
But I've been blessed
In a way I've never
Known before and
Everything in my world
Is...
Just a tiny speck
On the face of the earth
Much like a little
Grain of sand
I am content to be
Just what I am
No more...no less
I feel little...
I press my face against
The warm wet sand
Waves are crashing
Out there in the ocean
It is so quiet here
Except for the sea sounds
I am being kissed by the sun
I am tiny....
Like a little ladybug
Or a simple blade of grass

She (Ice Mermaiden And Queen Of The Sea)
She was born and raised
Off of the icy waters of Antarctica
Groomed to be the Ice mermaiden queen
To guide the tides and grace the open seas
Now that she's grown and flourishing
She finds the deep sea oh so nourishing
If you listen carefully you can hear this
Sultry silver shipwreck siren ice mermaiden sing
Off of the icy waters of Antarctica
Groomed to be the Ice mermaiden queen
To guide the tides and grace the open seas
Now that she's grown and flourishing
She finds the deep sea oh so nourishing
If you listen carefully you can hear this
Sultry silver shipwreck siren ice mermaiden sing

new haiku
Haiku
Early evening
The day gives way tonight
The child cries.
Tranquil is the sea
Ripples onshore as tar
Absent is the wind
Autumnal darkness
Impatient winter waits
Storm knocks on windows
Frost cracks on timber
Snow makes the land secretive
Will there be a spring?
Spring after rain-fall
Aromatic is the landscape
Broods climbing trees
Early evening
The day gives way tonight
The child cries.
Tranquil is the sea
Ripples onshore as tar
Absent is the wind
Autumnal darkness
Impatient winter waits
Storm knocks on windows
Frost cracks on timber
Snow makes the land secretive
Will there be a spring?
Spring after rain-fall
Aromatic is the landscape
Broods climbing trees

Relentless release of power
High speed car crash
Relentless release of power
Car mash, whiplash
Delightful scrap metal shower
Mother of crash violence once again makes the biggest man cower
---
Smells burnt
don't worry 'bout it
The very worst thing
about every disaster
is the invetiable worry
that comes with it.
Why can't we feel pain
when there is pain to be felt -
and joy when there is joy to be felt instead?
There's no place for pain, they say
Still Mother nature seems to have made
a shrine and a temple for it -
"Life",...

Whaling Days
They started out drift whaling along the shore
But soon moved on to pursuing the behemoths
Out into the open ocean
Men with faces of purpose boarding tall ships
Taking their bravery and capacious cupidity with them
They kissed their wives and children goodbye
Families wishing them greasy luck!
The whalers embarked as mermaids in costal caves
Sang their siren songs echoing in sailor's ears
Beckoning them come closer the the craggy shore
While the wives wiped the salt from their eyes
A few expressed their concern ...
But soon moved on to pursuing the behemoths

Song of the Sea
♪O deep rolling sea,
Such a pleasure to me!
Roll over my soul,
Set my spirit free.
Come take me away
To the land of the new day:
I give you control,
Come and sweep me away!
♪Roll over my soul,
Roll over my soul,
Your sweet billows roll
And make me whole.
O sweep me away
To the land of the new day;
Let my soul find sweet rest
In the land of the blest.
♪I hear there are dreams
Where the soft sunlight gleams;
I hear there are nights
Where the moon paints...
Such a pleasure to me!
Roll over my soul,
Set my spirit free.
Come take me away
To the land of the new day:
I give you control,
Come and sweep me away!
♪Roll over my soul,
Roll over my soul,
Your sweet billows roll
And make me whole.
O sweep me away
To the land of the new day;
Let my soul find sweet rest
In the land of the blest.
♪I hear there are dreams
Where the soft sunlight gleams;
I hear there are nights
Where the moon paints...
