POUNDING LINGERS
Just as the ocean’s
mighty distant roar
is heard for miles
inland from the shore,
the beating of drums
from the mountain tops
is carried on the breeze
until it stops
In the space where
its’ pounding lingers,
repeats itself upon
moving fingers
of one who’s waiting
enclosed by four walls,
being each wave as
it rises and falls.

A Sirens Silent Harp
Wassailing
Whilst sailing
The deep blue sea
Virgin foam
Frothing over shale
As broken shells
Make music
Swishing, and swashing
Constantly washing
Sea-cleansed fossilised pebbles
Dashed
Driftwood
Bleached
Then beached
As a choir of seagulls
Shriek in unison
With the tides
As sirens wassail, and drink
Serenade
The soft sea froth, and foam
With silt, and sand
But no clay to loam
No mould for the harp

Refugesea
I tried to imagine
What it was like
To be
A refugee at sea
Floating along
Swamped with waves
Better to drown?
Than go home...Craving
For a safe haven
I spent six months
In the Merchant Navy
Stood aboard
A 350 tonne Coaster
Looking at
The swirling gravy
As i often used to think
I can't swim
I can sink
Sometimes
Biting my lip
With fear
As severe storms
Were drawing near
Poseidens' rage
Lurking
Eyeing the lifeboat
In dismay
The inevitable
Just a simple delay...

Lions Upon The Sea
Lions Upon The Sea
I dreamed a dream of silver Sealions
Glistening under a charcoal downbeat sky (jq)
The seas surged, in a headstrong wind
As the Sealions began to fly (jdb)
Higher, and higher, til they became as one
With the clouds in the sky (jq)
Then one let out, an enormous bellow
"How come my clouds, are never yellow?" (jdb)
"I don't know!" said one
"But beware of yellow snow!" (jq)
"Don't you realise, and don't you know?"
"That it is us, that makes this yellow snow!"
They decided to leave the 'charcoal downbeat sky'...
I dreamed a dream of silver Sealions
Glistening under a charcoal downbeat sky (jq)
The seas surged, in a headstrong wind
As the Sealions began to fly (jdb)
Higher, and higher, til they became as one

Then one let out, an enormous bellow

Broken Shells
There's something melancholy about seashells
I find them in many places so far from the sea
In those old jelly candles at thrift stores
Or the cloudy ones that burn the shells when lit
Bowls of shells from someone elses vacations
Big ones that are broken and dusty
Their pinks and purples long faded away
The spiky comb ones with only nubs left
It's strange to me that we don't view them like bones
Beautiful mural remains of creatures called mollusks
They're such beautiful unpraised little things
Taken far away and left to gather dust
I find them in many places so far from the sea
In those old jelly candles at thrift stores
Or the cloudy ones that burn the shells when lit
Bowls of shells from someone elses vacations
Big ones that are broken and dusty
Their pinks and purples long faded away
The spiky comb ones with only nubs left
It's strange to me that we don't view them like bones
Beautiful mural remains of creatures called mollusks
They're such beautiful unpraised little things
Taken far away and left to gather dust

Drift
Confusing
abusive
your memory's curved
and it turns into
a useless disadvantage
Shots fired from miles away
but the impact hits
in the guest bedroom.
Such a fool for the things
we can't let go of
And the boat rocks
but our hearts drift away
until we sink
abusive
your memory's curved
and it turns into
a useless disadvantage
Shots fired from miles away
but the impact hits
in the guest bedroom.
Such a fool for the things
we can't let go of
And the boat rocks
but our hearts drift away
until we sink

Wild Coastal Woman
Wild Coastal Woman
Her fragile peace made by the
Wonder of the Celtic harp in her hands
Song of Irish shamrocks in her eyes
Whose blue loch gaze gathers rosebuds
While the month of May sings her praises
When blossoms form flowers
To celebrate her eternal maidenhood
On the windswept shores where sea stacks rise
To greet her beauty with the crash of waves
But her tresses are wilder than the coastal madness
Where Kelpies haunt her scarlet strands
Bearing her with equine magic
Where sailors haunt the cool shadows
Her fragile peace made by the
Wonder of the Celtic harp in her hands
Song of Irish shamrocks in her eyes
Whose blue loch gaze gathers rosebuds
While the month of May sings her praises
When blossoms form flowers
To celebrate her eternal maidenhood
On the windswept shores where sea stacks rise
To greet her beauty with the crash of waves
But her tresses are wilder than the coastal madness
Where Kelpies haunt her scarlet strands
Bearing her with equine magic
Where sailors haunt the cool shadows

The perfect storm
I stray
from where it's warm
choose the perfection
of icy wind
cutting me
in tidy little ribbons
releasing anxious pain
in whispered
rivulets
It's my way;
wandering alone
roaming far away
from hearth and home
unharbored— jettisoned
finding rapture in ruins
my own shipwrecked architect
Squalls carry familiar sounds,
recognition is a meandering thought
slivers of miracles
erode time
tamp down depression
refreshing stagnant minds
hailing the horizon's harmonic...

My Story
there's not too much to tell of this story
no hero, no clown,
disaster nor frown
no gallows, no rope
just living of life
with sunshine, with hope
barefoot walks on storm drenched beaches
where worries up and wash away
I watch with real attention
noticing
each flicker, each moment
kissing a thousand waves
caressing the fatal flux
of visceral phenomena
it's beautiful
enamored in the iridescent
the blue
falling off the horizon
the world is flat
...

My Tahitian Princess
Last night I lay captured
in the body of a Tahitian ice princess
Midnight ink etched in woven patterns
over her golden terracotta skin
Jagged crown of petals and thorn
Wearing a necklace of icicles as sharp as teeth
Heart wide open
Drifting back to sleep
under the mosquito net
in a four post bed
counting the shadows
cast over the flax-woven roof
I dreamt of you
In my dream
I step outside onto diamond black sand
and wade into the sea, fully dressed
Skirt floating over scorched seaweed
and...
in the body of a Tahitian ice princess
Midnight ink etched in woven patterns
over her golden terracotta skin
Jagged crown of petals and thorn
Wearing a necklace of icicles as sharp as teeth
Heart wide open
Drifting back to sleep
under the mosquito net
in a four post bed
counting the shadows
cast over the flax-woven roof

Renaissance
Renaissance
Tresses dyed in strawberry
Cascade over tapioca shoulders
Still luxuriant
Her creamy dreamy soda smile
Is a pink lipstick straw
On a dulcet cloud
That floats in sarsaparilla
For vanilla dreams
When tousled strands fly free
In the dizzying spray
Of her oceanic odyssey
Her medieval blues
Turned into a rosy renaissance
For waltzing with the surf
In a thrift store dress
Purple as her royal bones ...
Tresses dyed in strawberry

The Return
The sea
Came gushing in
Like stampeding
Wild horses
Their manes
Caught in the chill wind
Like the surf
Then like ghosts
Vanished Into the mists
These were soon followed
By more horses
Rearing up
With the crashing tides
And these too
Would disappear
And so it continued
I remained, transfixed
By these apparitions
Until finally
There was one
That had a silvery horn
I expected that this too
Would go the same way
As all the others
Its mane
White as the surf
As it...
Came gushing in
Like stampeding
Wild horses
Their manes
Caught in the chill wind
Like the surf
Then like ghosts
Vanished Into the mists
These were soon followed
By more horses
Rearing up
With the crashing tides
And these too
Would disappear
And so it continued
I remained, transfixed
By these apparitions
Until finally
There was one
That had a silvery horn
I expected that this too
Would go the same way

White as the surf
