My Little Deep Sea
In my dreams
the waves of the ocean lap to brush the cheek of the bank,
in my arms like growing tides, I'll draw you in and pull you out to sea with me.
And over the deep deep blue we go, rocking with the waves and swirling with the wind,
living with the ocean, among the wriggling fractures of moonlight that dance upon its surface.
Mystical streaks that breathe alive and moving, inhaling the darkness.
Glowing, as these little creatures skim upon the ripples and waves, sandwiched between the endless black below and the open-mouthed void gaping above – ...

Echo
Tonight
I heard a song
That kissed
The night sky
And left me
With the desire
To fly
So i flapped my arms
And crossed
The moonlit seas
Like an echo
Sailing on the breeze

Crumbling
salt spray, november gray
nothing stops the tide
heeding call of the milky way
nothing stops the tide
sea relentless, wave on wave
we're boulders...
boulders ground to sand
my walls are crumbling
my will is crumbling
my words are crumbling
my mind is crumbling
(can you hear me, crumbling?)
tightrope, balancing
quicksand at my feet
beach face washed with salt again
quicksand at my feet
waters rising, take a breath
there's seaweed...
seaweed in my hair

A Mutation
In the deep blue
Sargasso Sea
A new mutation
How come to be
Young turtles swimming
Freely, above the tide
Now carry a new mutation
That can't be denied
These young heroic innocents
With a love for ginger
Have picked up a virus
That turned them Ninja

River erosion
Sea sickness sinking into my skin.
Slitting folds and cutting moulds,
on my knees I beg:
where do I begin?

Between these fires and our home
Is a bridge we cannot cross,
Where in vain our spirits roam
To what never was: our greatest loss.
Ah! Alone with sky and sea,
We see the dying of the day;
As all we thought was meant to be,
The flame is borne away.
Alas! My voice calls out to thee
And begs, ‘What light is there to shine?
For though the stars look down on me
These are no flames of mine.
‘And thou who, like the sea, doth roll
O’er my bones may take these sands,
Ah thee! I leave thee now my...

Wish I'd Jumped Ship
An ink-tone puddle or bottomless well?
Your love is so daunting
Depth few could admire and perhaps I am no different
as I drown in those sapphire eyes, full of intrigue
Reluctant to explore this shallow bay,
yet feigning ignorance to threats I receive
Bliss eludes conscious minds so I pretend you’re perfect
and uncover my soul to give you all you need
I’ve learned to observe this world from below,
so used to sinking on my own
For once I feel complete
Things as I see them now, are not as I once believed
Promises she’s...

we're found
Je suis accro ŕ vos lčvres, ils me rendent fou
Drawn the attraction drowns
screams pulled into seduction
we're found
we're found
pushed nights away
lead to the breaking
our dawn
destruction
moons griped
hardened in waves
washed ashore
soft eyes smiling
anxiously awaiting
the foreboden
affliction
swallowed up scenes
moist lips melt
chilled fright
unforgettable night
we're twined
we're twined
so...

(…)
As one, we crossed the bridge of gales,
In shadows, we raised our samite sails,
While winds about us sighed and burned
As sea and sky were overturned.
With sea above, our course was set.
In Heaven below, our hearts were met.
In our ears, honeyed songs did ring:
With gilded notes upon a moonlit string.
Stars about, and spheres between—
The void, a storm of realms serene.
Caressed by light, we said goodbye
To our prayers ensnared within the sky.
And past the veil, the sirens sang—
From the towers,...

The Angry Deep
Just off the coast of Belgium
Through roaring seas we sailed
Riding the crest of titanic waves
Our progress was curtailed
Whilst our hearts pounded, in gaping mouths
Our mobile island, dipped deep in the water
Whilst mermaidian sirens of the deep
Tried to lure us to, a watery slaughter
Each time we plummeted downwards
Screams of terror, came from the graveyard ocean bed
Seemingly awaiting, we soldiers of the sea
Where lay the sightless, eternally weeping dead
The cargo now loose, and listingly
Lost its...

Driftwood
drifting on the seas of fate
tossed by storms
but free of hate
I am carried by the tides
seeking a future that hides
in crashing waves
as riptides enslave
looking for a direction home
that's lost within this poem
but once there was a map
a treasured scrap
drawn with a loving hand
and a compass to command
that pointed toward your heart
but the compass broke with my soul
an agonizing toll

Death of A Crane
toppling towers
fall into rough seas
speak dying crane
tides rolling in
as crab scuttles pass
a diving beak
crash of waves
washing up mermaids
sing sweet melodies
tiptoe on panes of glass
waft rats they scurry
into fishing nets
dying crane
finds a herringbone
to snack upon at dawn
as the lotus blossom
drifts down the stream
of memory
fall into rough seas
speak dying crane
tides rolling in
as crab scuttles pass
a diving beak
crash of waves
washing up mermaids
sing sweet melodies
tiptoe on panes of glass
waft rats they scurry
into fishing nets
dying crane
finds a herringbone
to snack upon at dawn
as the lotus blossom
drifts down the stream
of memory
