Firestone Moon
6°c 600m flat
Mind over matter
where scattered sea glass meets sea
water is shattered
by pale limbs, pale feet.
Cool, still Firestone -
you own part of me
where I am not lonely
yet quiet in mind and heartbeat.
Firestone Bay, Devon.

Life Renewed
I see her by the light of the moon
gazing out at the sea
still, but so full of electricity
wondering of all the possibility
She is strong, holding back the wind
the glow of the water transcends
life filters each breathe
it's the start another beginning,
and definitely not an end
gazing out at the sea
still, but so full of electricity
wondering of all the possibility
She is strong, holding back the wind
the glow of the water transcends
life filters each breathe
it's the start another beginning,

...from the sea...
rain will dilute salt tears
that have taken years...
to accumulate...
just because there is
no longer fresh... from...
...the source...

Becoming Reef
I had a dream I stood in limestone and grew into a tree
With skeletal arms that hung and dipped into the languid sea.
Tides shifted 'round and blue green swirls tickled at my thighs
Just when I thought that I had died I became alive.
Shells from the past tossed, washed and gathered at my feet
My face turned upwards towards the sun as I became the reef.
With skeletal arms that hung and dipped into the languid sea.
Tides shifted 'round and blue green swirls tickled at my thighs
Just when I thought that I had died I became alive.
Shells from the past tossed, washed and gathered at my feet
My face turned upwards towards the sun as I became the reef.

seas-a-stir
Fair Maiden on the bow
Our lair is ladened, sinking how?
We must keep to the oceans brow
Toss the rusted anchor
Heave the crippled cannons
The seas-a-stir
Fair maiden on the bow
Furrowed bouts of springing force
Push us out, veer our course
Clouds are sparse, but hang low
Heavy and dark, rain will sow
Fair maiden on the bow
Harsh cliffs, but close to land
We all crave that steady warm sand
Fair maiden on the bow
Lead us home, let us stand
Our lair is ladened, sinking how?
We must keep to the oceans brow
Toss the rusted anchor
Heave the crippled cannons
The seas-a-stir
Fair maiden on the bow
Furrowed bouts of springing force
Push us out, veer our course
Clouds are sparse, but hang low
Heavy and dark, rain will sow
Fair maiden on the bow
Harsh cliffs, but close to land
We all crave that steady warm sand
Fair maiden on the bow
Lead us home, let us stand

Across The Sand
Like the breeze blowing in off the sea
caressing your beautiful locks
I look, turn, then look again
wondering where you're heading
and where you've been
I imagine the waves washing
up over the beach
touching your skin
the glisten, radiating,
the heat as you lick your lips
parched, you search for nourishment,
for strength to carry out the day
let me be your water
flowing through your veins
seeped in acquiescence
filtered thru the brain
let me be your wind ...
caressing your beautiful locks
I look, turn, then look again
wondering where you're heading
and where you've been
I imagine the waves washing
up over the beach
touching your skin
the glisten, radiating,
the heat as you lick your lips
parched, you search for nourishment,
for strength to carry out the day
let me be your water
flowing through your veins
seeped in acquiescence
filtered thru the brain
let me be your wind ...

Restless
On jagged rocks we dwell
restless within the wounded waves
washing over our every thought
heavy,the shadows cast
elongated images of the past
fires burn but we only see ash
not crossed in answers held above
but deeply rooted in soot
cautiously we take another step
one by one, foot by foot
lost in the deserted desert of life
barren, the path is worn
depleted under a piercing sun
but still we manage to move and hope
all will be well again
I watch as the moss...
restless within the wounded waves
washing over our every thought
heavy,the shadows cast
elongated images of the past
fires burn but we only see ash
not crossed in answers held above

cautiously we take another step
one by one, foot by foot
lost in the deserted desert of life
barren, the path is worn
depleted under a piercing sun
but still we manage to move and hope
all will be well again

Creek
to here
on this muddy creek
Baltic ships embark
and sail:
a silent crew
to a silent pier
on a silent river
one day I saw men work the crane
I saw no goods
and heard no voice
gently laps the sea
on Essex marsh
on this muddy creek
Baltic ships embark
and sail:
a silent crew
to a silent pier
on a silent river
one day I saw men work the crane
I saw no goods
and heard no voice
gently laps the sea
on Essex marsh

thought it was heading out to sea ..
don't even know what river this is,
but I can guess where it's going
she says, although the funny thing is
despite all its to-ing and flowing
here it still is ..

YEARNING
The depth of one's heart is what makes us human
The depth of any ocean is much like that of any man
With the garbage that settles to the bottom of its old age
Angry waves that are cold and bitter
Cradling from the East to the West
Tsunami rise
Prophetic signs
Three stories high
Screaming through its hollow mouth
Yearning to be heard through salty tears
Stricken pain from the illness and disease
From toxins permeating it with plastics and oils
Her desperate high pitched moans to the moon at night
Never stopping by day ...
The depth of any ocean is much like that of any man
With the garbage that settles to the bottom of its old age
Angry waves that are cold and bitter
Cradling from the East to the West

Screaming through its hollow mouth
Yearning to be heard through salty tears
Stricken pain from the illness and disease
From toxins permeating it with plastics and oils
Her desperate high pitched moans to the moon at night
Never stopping by day ...

A Pirate’s Maiden
- A Pirate’s Maiden -
Blood and Romance on the High Seas
From out of the port, the harbors with the old docks,
I went to sea, one summer day, I went to sea I did…
I watched the gulls pass me, in their pale white flocks.
And when the wind blew fierce I had never once hid!
From far to the north, I heard the sounds of cannons,
Upon the sea one summer day, upon the sea so blue!
I ordered the gun ports open, bade lads to man them.
And we plotted a new course that was bold and true!
Two ships did battle: a merchantman, and a galleon… ...

Pirate Silver, Devil’s Flame
- Pirate Silver, Devil’s Flame -
Off the starboard bow, there was an isle black as sin,
Where many a wrecked vessel lay, in graves silently!
I saw the fire at the isle’s heart, and what lay within…
But dare not put to words the sight, or give it dignity.
Was it Hell I beheld, when I seized the silvery hoard?
Nay, but there were many devils we slew to claim it!
The lads made fast to place the ancient riches aboard,
And now we sail for port and home, with hearty wit…
But lo, for there the lookout spies another ship, ahoy!
And there upon...
