Jagged Edge
🩵
In
her
dream
one friday
at lunchtime
she carved out
a message to him
written in the sand
beneath the shadow
that captured her breath
floating between jagged rocks
swift and curious he moved his hand
across the top of her thigh, learning the
angles and edges of her shape and skin
following the line of mellowed sunlight
sharpened above the crests of waves
a streamlined net that tossed itself
widely across the ocean’s teeth
sitting beneath the stone walls
pawing...

Distant Shores
The night came on all dismal and dark
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling hark
I long to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling hark
I long to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be

Drifting in the Shadows
The weight of indecision,
An anchor on my soul,
I sail through murky waters,
Seeking a guiding role.
In the vast expanse of night,
I cast my eyes above,
Hoping for a constellation,
To reveal my path, my love.
Yet the stars remain silent,
Their secrets tightly sealed,
And I, a wanderer lost,
Yearn for clarity revealed.
So I'll drift upon the tides,
Embrace the ebb and flow,
For perhaps in surrender,
True direction I shall know.
And as dawn breaks the darkness,
I'll wait with bated...

Whispers of the Azure Sea
Beneath the meeting of sky and sea,
A realm of wonder, where dreams roam free.
Endless azure, canvas vast and wide,
Whispers of adventure, secrets to confide.
Sailors' tales in salty air do weave,
Islands shrouded in mist, where mermaids cleave.
Glimmering sirens, songs that pierce the heart,
Guiding ships to shores where legends start.
Celestial vessels, masts aglow with stardust's light,
Sail through constellations in the dead of night.
Galaxies unfurl, fate's silken thread,
Comets streak across the heavens, where...

Sails the Lonely Ship
From a land I was exiled
I sail on,
Forevermore
Who will guide me now?
The sun never rises
Beyond the stars,
Unknown
Ploughing through angry waves
cold winds blow
ice forming on the mast
Desperate
Memories of loved ones fading away
Children grow & die
Who will remember or accept me
Discarded
Waiting to die.
I sail on,

Children grow & die
Who will remember or accept me
Discarded

One with Humanity
Haven't you noticed the ocean's wailing waves, a desperate cry to someone but always misunderstood as a "calming lullaby"?
Each crash upon the open shore to the hidden clams leave a vast variety of shells on the course ground. It exposed every hook and cranny life would be able to survive against predators by hiding and distancing themselves. So, the ocean may not be weeping, but the stunted snapper beached on the coast frantically flailing in an attempt to meet up with the ocean is. The unveiled clams swiftly diffing as their life depends on it, as it does. Even the land...

Mermaid Fantasy
You were swimming in the sea.
Down in the ocean,deep sea.
You swimmed past fish of all kinds.
And creatures with all sorts of minds.
The colors they produce,all the shapes.
Different patterns on ocean snakes.
And the way they glowed at the very bottom.
Like nightlights deep in the sea.
And you wonder,who do I want to be?
Where do I want to be?
Suddenly,you see a girl in scales.
Long dark hair,blue eyes.
With a fish tail,surrounded by whales.
They seemed like old friends.
Chattering in the ocean,...

OUT IN THE SEA
The storms are rising
Skies and clouds are compromising
So many plants will be dying
Everyone's running, everyone is hiding
The birds in bundles start flying ...
Could this be like Noah's days of surviving?
But You hear mermaid sirens
They sound beautiful on the evening horizon
There's no doubt the oceans shining
So I take out my diary and start writing
Out in the sea
Where it's just you and me
It's so dark not much you can see
Out in the sea
Where...

I Am The Ocean
because today I am water
because salt is more than wounds
because Pisces brands me on a Sunday
because gulls cackle like covens
because I’ve tattooed wild selkie skin
because I’ve never drowned on land
because submergence is risk
[I crave risk]
because I stuffed a message in a bottle
because wet paper feels like kelp
because I am holy, holier still
because God is humble at sundown
because I am late night thunder
because I am a lighthouse of warnings
because my skull is a clifftop suicide
because I am...
