Reminiscing
Morning sounds,
The wind howls
In a smooth tone
I am not alone
I face each day
By the bay
In a house on stilts
Breathing in the ocean air
Wondering if you’re still there
The kind sea
Much like a lost memory
I hold on
For I was very fond
A cup of coffee in hand
I had plans
Obligations,
All moving in a swift clockwork rotation
I stare at a raging sea
I wonder if you miss me
The wind howls
In a smooth tone
I am not alone
I face each day
By the bay
In a house on stilts
Breathing in the ocean air
Wondering if you’re still there
The kind sea
Much like a lost memory
I hold on
For I was very fond
A cup of coffee in hand
I had plans
Obligations,
All moving in a swift clockwork rotation
I stare at a raging sea
I wonder if you miss me

The Captain
Waves continued to make the ship sway
I remembered her face
Her smile that shines like stars
Hair that matched the sun
My voyage had just begun
“I’ll see you someday “
Or at least that’s what I said
Without actually knowing
If that day will come
Will I make it home
Or will I die alone
Out at sea
Without ever meeting my baby?
Another day,
Another wave
I’m going to make it
My love, I hope you can wait
Until the day
I can finally stay
I remembered her face
Her smile that shines like stars
Hair that matched the sun
My voyage had just begun
“I’ll see you someday “
Or at least that’s what I said
Without actually knowing
If that day will come
Will I make it home
Or will I die alone
Out at sea
Without ever meeting my baby?
Another day,
Another wave
I’m going to make it
My love, I hope you can wait
Until the day
I can finally stay

Sea Me
I set off into the sea
To see a real part of me
Winds start picking up
Sails are swept under and above
White crest of ocean
Mixed with jagged rocks
Think I can ride out the storm of me
But I’m crazy I’m a tidal wave
Churn through the storms
That come upon my vessel
storm picks up winds adjust
All I see is white caps diving into the black
A moment of calm before my storm
Realize this is my day of my being
Waves sing high and crash like a symphony
Of all things...
To see a real part of me
Winds start picking up
Sails are swept under and above
White crest of ocean
Mixed with jagged rocks
Think I can ride out the storm of me
But I’m crazy I’m a tidal wave
Churn through the storms
That come upon my vessel
storm picks up winds adjust
All I see is white caps diving into the black
A moment of calm before my storm
Realize this is my day of my being
Waves sing high and crash like a symphony
Of all things...

A Captain’s Wife
’l’ll be back someday”
At least that’s what he says
It’s been weeks
Since he left me
To follow his dream of being at sea
This light house gets cold
It’s wood floors creak and the stairs are old
I read to myself of stories I’ve been told
Thousands of times
I wonder what it’s like
Living out at sea
The days continue to go by,
I hardly remember our goodbye
The touch of his lips
The salty air
Freezing me out without a care
As I held him for one last embrace
I stared at his old brief case
The waves...
At least that’s what he says
It’s been weeks
Since he left me
To follow his dream of being at sea
This light house gets cold
It’s wood floors creak and the stairs are old
I read to myself of stories I’ve been told
Thousands of times
I wonder what it’s like
Living out at sea
The days continue to go by,
I hardly remember our goodbye
The touch of his lips
The salty air
Freezing me out without a care
As I held him for one last embrace
I stared at his old brief case
The waves...

The Sea
I stand upon the shore, the night grown deep
The stars above in silent vigil keep
Yet as I gaze upon the endless sea
A nameless dread doth rise and gnaw at me
What swimmeth there, beneath the moonless tide
Where darkness moves and ancient horrors bide?
The waves, they whisper secrets I shan’t know
And in their depths, the foulest creatures grow
I hear the swell, a low and eerie sound
As though some beast below were winding 'round
Its form unseen, its presence yet I feel
A weight that presses, cold and sharp as steel
...
The stars above in silent vigil keep
Yet as I gaze upon the endless sea
A nameless dread doth rise and gnaw at me
What swimmeth there, beneath the moonless tide
Where darkness moves and ancient horrors bide?
The waves, they whisper secrets I shan’t know
And in their depths, the foulest creatures grow
I hear the swell, a low and eerie sound
As though some beast below were winding 'round
Its form unseen, its presence yet I feel
A weight that presses, cold and sharp as steel

Frozen Shores of A Winter Forgotten
Upon the frozen shores of winters yore
Where Time forgetteth how to warm the earth
The winds do wail, as once they did before
Yet bring no thaw, nor touch the soil's dearth
No footstep mars the snow’s unbroken crest
Nor sound disturbs the seas of crystal still
Here winter reigneth, cold and long suppress'd
With naught but silence ‘neath its frosted will
No kindly sun doth rise to wake the morn
Nor springtide's breath to stir the lifeless air
The world, it seemeth, by all hope forlorn
In icy bonds, doth slumber long and bare ...
Where Time forgetteth how to warm the earth
The winds do wail, as once they did before
Yet bring no thaw, nor touch the soil's dearth
No footstep mars the snow’s unbroken crest
Nor sound disturbs the seas of crystal still
Here winter reigneth, cold and long suppress'd
With naught but silence ‘neath its frosted will
No kindly sun doth rise to wake the morn
Nor springtide's breath to stir the lifeless air
The world, it seemeth, by all hope forlorn
In icy bonds, doth slumber long and bare ...

When It Moves
It is
One of thee worst
Fears
One can imagine
The Shock
The Terror
The Fear
When the Ground
Moves
Under our feet
Not stopping
Until everything
We've ever known
Has Gone
One of thee worst
Fears
One can imagine
The Shock
The Terror
The Fear
When the Ground
Moves
Under our feet
Not stopping
Until everything
We've ever known
Has Gone

sea that sleeps in the blue
the sea takes and the sea brings
the sea is a castle that crumbles into sand
the sea keeps every fleeting moment
and gives belly to the sailor who lies
the sea is never wrong
the sea never has plans anyway
the sea covers and disappears at the pier
the sea breaking on the beach comes in peace
sounds its deep waves like jazz
the sea is serene and knows the good it does for us
the sea is a castle that crumbles into sand
the sea keeps every fleeting moment
and gives belly to the sailor who lies
the sea is never wrong
the sea never has plans anyway
the sea covers and disappears at the pier
the sea breaking on the beach comes in peace
sounds its deep waves like jazz
the sea is serene and knows the good it does for us

Home is where I want to be
The night came on all dismal and profound
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling around
I needed to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling around
I needed to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be

Poor billions
Two Ships not passing in the night
Darkness rises sun stands tall
Off the coast of anywhere you are
Waves lap at the sand seashells glisten
We set off on our journey of life
Crowded and cramped
Not 1st Class
Here is where the story turns into 2 episodes
Clothes on my back baby in arms
Looking for a brighter future for us and them
A world away rich men play with their toys
Titan not Titanium headed for an iceberg
1:45 in there is a Warning
Bubbles rise up
Billions go down...
Darkness rises sun stands tall
Off the coast of anywhere you are
Waves lap at the sand seashells glisten
We set off on our journey of life
Crowded and cramped
Not 1st Class
Here is where the story turns into 2 episodes
Clothes on my back baby in arms
Looking for a brighter future for us and them
A world away rich men play with their toys
Titan not Titanium headed for an iceberg
1:45 in there is a Warning
Bubbles rise up
Billions go down...

Hurricane Helene
You surround us with love and peace
Sometimes stormy seas
You broke through
Filled our lands
I wonder how long we’ll stand
Hurricane Helene
You have been seen,
Heard, the damage you’ve done
You’ve surely won
Sometimes stormy seas
You broke through
Filled our lands
I wonder how long we’ll stand
Hurricane Helene
You have been seen,
Heard, the damage you’ve done
You’ve surely won

maestro
the moon gently descended
on the roof of the earth,
the stars glistened with glee
as the maestro
orchestrated the cosmic
symphony
and the stars sang in
synchronicity.
the moon followed
the notes
of the shooting stars
darting across the skies,
thus creating a
beautiful rhapsody
to which the sea danced
in rhythmic low and highs...
as if in trance,
bewitched by the moonlight,
the wind whispered love tunes...
as the music reached ...
on the roof of the earth,
the stars glistened with glee
as the maestro
orchestrated the cosmic
symphony
and the stars sang in
synchronicity.
the moon followed
the notes
of the shooting stars
darting across the skies,
thus creating a
beautiful rhapsody
to which the sea danced
in rhythmic low and highs...
as if in trance,
bewitched by the moonlight,
the wind whispered love tunes...
as the music reached ...
