No Other More Tolerant
Gold hues with soft laps from giving blue, spread out like fingers
lay a low calm whisper its serenity, whistling peace through leaf and tree
I have lived this, bear the mark-blood to soil
an arrow of rock stands in testament for mid-river fishing
the row gathers as netted vine captures bounty
so slow goes the bronzed one, setting fire upon glass
we breathe deep in silhouette watching the magma shine fall to the past
Blight borne of ignorance from smokestack lightning
carves desperation from new-found traditions
Pave the way...
lay a low calm whisper its serenity, whistling peace through leaf and tree
I have lived this, bear the mark-blood to soil
an arrow of rock stands in testament for mid-river fishing
the row gathers as netted vine captures bounty
so slow goes the bronzed one, setting fire upon glass
we breathe deep in silhouette watching the magma shine fall to the past
Blight borne of ignorance from smokestack lightning
carves desperation from new-found traditions
Pave the way...

Ocean Fishing Haiku
This aged sea vessel
carries me to swimming life,
a bite on the line.
carries me to swimming life,

As Salt Cures the Heart
thundering surf pounding the shore
the sea's passion as it kisses the sand
with a ferocity that takes my breath away
nature's percussion
the heartbeat of God
you're still the one
after all the years
hiding your thoughts beneath those Vaurnets
your grin giving you away
I can see every wicked thought as it traipses
across your mind
the slight adjustment to the way you are sitting
I catch you staring
you don't even realize you are smiling
so pull me close lover...
the sea's passion as it kisses the sand
with a ferocity that takes my breath away
nature's percussion
the heartbeat of God
you're still the one
after all the years
hiding your thoughts beneath those Vaurnets
your grin giving you away
I can see every wicked thought as it traipses
across your mind
the slight adjustment to the way you are sitting
I catch you staring
you don't even realize you are smiling

Memories on a Moonlit Deck
Dancing with moonbeams,
Dancing over streams,
Fireflies fly,
Lazily by,
Just out of reach,
For each,
Of my little hands,
Running through the woodlands.
With times like this,
Through memory's kiss,
I still feel as though I were twelve again
(Helps I still look twelve, though I couldn't complain).
Moonbeams dance, and play,
Through the trees, and to this day,
I see them every night,
Whether I'm filled with happiness or with fright.
The moonlit deck of a vessel on the high seas,

Shield Maiden
I love the ocean too damn much to be anything less than a reincarnated shield maiden
not to mention I like my men tough, rough and buff
facial hair and private yacht is a bonus
Send your resume to 1-800- ARG-MINX

Out from the Grave
grief is like a slow digging-out from
the grave you left them in’.
I lay there, trying to put into words my own experience of loss to one caught in its’ waves.
As it is wont to do, my body tried to fill in for the sheer inadequacy of words. Reenacting grief’s journey, my hand moved fluidly above my bare breasts, forming a chasm, cutting down from upper left, long and deep through the middle, cleaving back up to the right. Each subsequent trough becoming more shallow, eventually forming an almost smooth line at the surface.

Blood Lust, Looting, and Reminiscing
On a fine day in June,
Somewhere around noon,
Out on the jetty,
Before me, the sea, so pretty.
Standing before the ocean,
Hearing the song of the siren,
'Bout to board my ship,
And leave on my trip,
To stow away my loot,
And rise the body count to boot!
I need not fight much,
But after erecting an army of eunuchs,
A blood lust, has my sword,
And my word,
Will justify,
My blood reign,
And the opulence of pain.
Sailing to Johannesburg,
Snuck in with the help of pirates from Somali, ...
Somewhere around noon,

And rise the body count to boot!

But after erecting an army of eunuchs,

And my word,

And the opulence of pain.

The Home in the Bay
Out on the sea,
The place I love to be,
In the middle of a battle,
Or taking a gamble,
That there's treasure in a shipwreck, cove, or island sand.
Ever since I was but a wee lass, building castles in the sand,
And watching the merfolk play,
And the ships boarding and leaving the dock at the bay,
Knowing this was my destiny,
My own prate ship of beauty.
To sail upon the seas,
The most fearsome pirate on the seven seas,
With the most loot,
And the highest body count, to boot!
And whenever I would gaze upon...
The place I love to be,
In the middle of a battle,
Or taking a gamble,
That there's treasure in a shipwreck, cove, or island sand.
Ever since I was but a wee lass, building castles in the sand,
And watching the merfolk play,
And the ships boarding and leaving the dock at the bay,
Knowing this was my destiny,

The most fearsome pirate on the seven seas,
With the most loot,
And the highest body count, to boot!

Harbour's Roll
Streets of stone and slap of sea,
rising prow, deep dip of oar
The harbour is waking, rolling
A fine fog slides up Tyne and Tees
Call at the inn, the beer's dark and deep,
the streets shiny slick
The step's hollow is hobnail ground
A hand-cart rattles, a boy calls
Sails fill, ropes flick
Step lively, men
We sail at noon
rising prow, deep dip of oar
The harbour is waking, rolling
A fine fog slides up Tyne and Tees
Call at the inn, the beer's dark and deep,
the streets shiny slick
The step's hollow is hobnail ground
A hand-cart rattles, a boy calls
Sails fill, ropes flick
Step lively, men
We sail at noon

I See You
Sands of time fill the ocean shore. With each sinking step the sun increases and the tides subside. The ocean hum greets my ear as her flowing blue gown kisses my feet. From her unfurling crest she offers a gift to me. A spiraling conch that hums merrily. As I lift it to my ear to listen to its secret song a shimmer just within it catches my eye. The glisten I see is the most precious jewel. The jewel I see is you.
