Sea
Over sea
Love....
Far away
Lost in deceptive current
Beyond breakers
Caught by deepest blue
There's nothing without you
Swept further
Upon treacherous rocks
That lash, that splinter
Taking hold
Exposing soul's winter
Overrun
All hands, all hands!
Under wave
Turquoise sequence
Roll then toss, then turn to spin
Pulling down
Through remembered times
Glimpses
Substance diluted
Hands too thin
Eyes swollen to sting
Deep
Dark
Nothing as this....
So...
Love....
Far away
Lost in deceptive current
Beyond breakers
Caught by deepest blue

That lash, that splinter

Under wave
Turquoise sequence
Roll then toss, then turn to spin
Pulling down
Through remembered times
Glimpses
Substance diluted
Hands too thin
Eyes swollen to sting
Deep

The Glimmer, one and two (inspired by many love poems from DUP)
And just like that the darkness was gone
The moonless ocean crossed
The raging waves calm
And a glimmer
A diamond glimmer
In the coal mine darkness
Shone back at me
And I followed it across the ocean
Back to your warm embrace
Back to your sweet smile
I am caught in your eyes
The glimmer
Calling me home
To a kiss
Sailing me back
To you
TWO
The darkness of the night ocean
Is a pure and honest dark
I embrace it
I watched the ink wash across the sky at...

Acadia
Hearty trees; full trunks, heavy leaves
Moss covered floor; lush greens, heady colors
Intoxicating views; rocky shores, mile-high mountains
There is nothing so sweet
As the air in this land
There is nothing so sweet
Moss covered floor; lush greens, heady colors
Intoxicating views; rocky shores, mile-high mountains
There is nothing so sweet
As the air in this land
There is nothing so sweet

Dream
I keep thinking of you at night
And i hate myself for doing that
I try to sleep so hard
But that just brings me harm
I woke up from a dream
Call it a nightmare if you will
I had you in my arms so tight
But then you just left my sight
Deep in the ocean you went at night
You knew thats what makes me fright
And you chose that way to fight
I cursed the tide for taking you inside
Two souls that God combined
How could some water simply divide
Until my end i will fiercly deny
Along the shore i waited for you...
And i hate myself for doing that
I try to sleep so hard
But that just brings me harm
I woke up from a dream
Call it a nightmare if you will
I had you in my arms so tight
But then you just left my sight
Deep in the ocean you went at night
You knew thats what makes me fright
And you chose that way to fight
I cursed the tide for taking you inside
Two souls that God combined
How could some water simply divide
Until my end i will fiercly deny
Along the shore i waited for you...

Blue Jean Sea
Wondering if you’ll hold
A breathing note you can fold
Stuff in your Blue Jean Sea
With deep pockets and frayed edges
Of white trickling foam
Weep and seep your salt into me
Whitecap crests like hands
Too heavy to touch a beach sun
Fingertip tides so high
Raise me into your water palm
From miles of haunted shoreline
Erase my sunken footsteps
My black hair will be your keratin cape
Cloaking each drowned living memory
My soaked lungs will help you breathe
A sigh of relief in each denim...
A breathing note you can fold
Stuff in your Blue Jean Sea
With deep pockets and frayed edges
Of white trickling foam
Weep and seep your salt into me
Whitecap crests like hands
Too heavy to touch a beach sun
Fingertip tides so high
Raise me into your water palm
From miles of haunted shoreline
Erase my sunken footsteps
My black hair will be your keratin cape
Cloaking each drowned living memory
My soaked lungs will help you breathe
A sigh of relief in each denim...

Rum Ocean
rum ocean
still
no emotion
soon
heaving and throwing
up on the waves of life
empty bottle or ship?
sailing or floating?
drinking all the waters in
until completely dry
an open wasteland
where all the sea creatures die
........memories
of a harpooned mind................

Tide
I'll hide in the crimson flame,
Shuddering into invisible droplets,
Crooning a ballad of love and game,
Under the cobalt moonsets,
The waves will ooze an elegy,
That you inscribed with painted aquamarine,
For you murder any thought of destiny,
Bound within nerves and dopamine,
Those moments, we shared in trust,
Scrape the gold, plated on my heart,
As indigo ripples sign a parchment in dust,
Distilled with your beryl part,
And when we run out of monotones,
And when dolphins swam to my side,
And when my...

SHADOW DANCE (7-23-2000, Galveston Island, Texas)
morning sun
throws its warm gold
across upon into
my shirtless
back
as its all embracing
bright light
brands this long road
up ahead of me
as i ride
and roll on
my bike
ever further
into this strong
western
salty gulf breeze
as my shadow
precedes me
along this remote
open beach road
fleetingly hiding
in other shadows
i occasionally
pass through
along my way
where larger tree shadows
so...

This Well of Darkness
Questioning
as one stares
into this well of darkness
ideation deflecting
vibrations and sound
underproof past
yolked in retrospect
viscous thought
what me here brought?
to this place?
to see as now?
memories trapped
in such small volume of space
another chapter of yesteryear
downed with the Rum
all the way down
to return with new tide
after that ocean has run out
as one stares
into this well of darkness
ideation deflecting
vibrations and sound
underproof past
yolked in retrospect
viscous thought
what me here brought?
to this place?
to see as now?
memories trapped
in such small volume of space
another chapter of yesteryear
downed with the Rum
all the way down
to return with new tide
after that ocean has run out

Summer Freedom
It is now May and the air was warmer
The sun was out and the wind much calmer
An expedition to the local beach
A walk enabled me to reach
A lonely expanse of sand
Where nudity is not banned
Skin exposed to wind and sun
Better feelings there are none
Walking wading and sun bathing
Satisfies a natural craving
To discard all life's concerns
The temporary relief that one yearns.

To discard all life's concerns
