Blue Hawaii Moon
Trailing peach and apricot sunset clouds
Above smashed sea glass of waves
Hawaiian mermaids sing blues and reggae
'Neath sapphire beams
Nodding pink hibiscus and white orchids
Straight from naiad dreams
And the sea is filled with Oahu hippie surfers
Like graffiti upon water's walls
Enthralled with angelic island moonlight
Above smashed sea glass of waves
Hawaiian mermaids sing blues and reggae
'Neath sapphire beams
Nodding pink hibiscus and white orchids
Straight from naiad dreams
And the sea is filled with Oahu hippie surfers
Like graffiti upon water's walls
Enthralled with angelic island moonlight

Under a Rainbow of Umbrellas
Capsicum green and smudged lipstick red
Stretched over winged skeleton rows overhead
Canary yellow and sapphire blue
Like the rupturing salt waves' bittersweet tune
Umbrellas to shield us from a volcanic rain
Of gleaming beaming rays in Old San Juan
As seagulls croon a cacophonous refrain
We'll dance bachata under umbrellas 'til dawn
Stretched over winged skeleton rows overhead
Canary yellow and sapphire blue
Like the rupturing salt waves' bittersweet tune
Umbrellas to shield us from a volcanic rain
Of gleaming beaming rays in Old San Juan
As seagulls croon a cacophonous refrain
We'll dance bachata under umbrellas 'til dawn

The water
Water is amazing thing,
Brought her closest to peace,
Rather it roaring or silent as can be,
Cloud cover, sunshine, or moonlit,
Let me drift,swim,put feet in or just sit and gaze upon the water,
It brings calmness to my brain and soul,
Bit by bit strings of words unravel and unwind,
Emotions, thoughts so intertwine,
Ocean, rivers, waterfalls, channels, creeks, bayou, ponds, lakes and puddles,
Even rain falling fast from the sky,
Believe in when I say, can always let the water wash away,
Allow your mind to be silent,
Or let the...

Mer-Alien
Magnetic fields of foxgloves
And horizon in oil paint Monet shades
For days daydreaming of purple haze
Garden fairies, pixies, gnomes and chimera cubs
Absorbing fractals of stained glass sky
Shattered by aqua perlescent light
And down came the mer-alien
Clothed in amethyst and emerald embers
Glowing jade rain cinders spilling out in waves
To meet the lotus flowers and hug the diamond coast
Cuddling grey-blue dolphins under silk rose sunset
With serpentine turquoise tail ...

The Lock-In
I
The pub was as ancient as war and religion. It stood by the docks and so had a constant sea air. Being inside it was like being on a ship. After a while, the atmosphere was so thick that you could almost feel yourself swaying as if the house was being rocked by the sea.
The landlord was a large man affectionately known as Big Bastard, though his real name was George Grantham. Rumour had it that he'd run with gangsters down south in the late ‘60s and ‘70s, bringing a Glasgow smile to the East End underworld as an enforcer, hired out for his especially brutal tactics....

The Mermaid's Café
Neath lapping waves of latte
Upon tiles of ombre black and rose gold
Behold, the gingerbread walls
Of the mermaid's café
With interiour painted shades
Of Renoir and Matisse
Her grande chocolate mocha eyes
Greet in glad surprise the visitors
Under raised venti caramel brows
Serving Turkish coffee in coral cups
And cappuccinos in conch shells
To swimming, swirling guests
And expect as well espresso
With a shot of cinnamon
While jazz, blues and...

Hopeful Dark
Swaddled in black sky
The starry walls of a cocoon
For a neighbourhood of sandstone moths
Houses like sleeping insects
With folded wings
And human-shaped hearts and lungs inside
Walls of safest silk
Bordered by gardens of wildest sea
Crescendo of hopeful dark
And a finale of blessed sunrise
At the end of a bus ride
There is hopefulness in the dark
Though it sounds like a paradox
A warmth in the frigid night
Beckoning me from my bed
...

Selkie
Wandering the shores of Puerto Limón
Looking out wistfully to the ocean beyond
Blue within blue, the water in my eyes
Reflected like a haze in the early twilight
Crying salt tears like a sweet silent prayer
Offering these words to the cumin-spiced air
"Please let me go where I left my poor heart
To join my love, for we are so far apart."
And then I looked down at my feet in the sand
Suddenly both webbed along with my hands
Falling face first into the Caribbean Sea
I was...
Looking out wistfully to the ocean beyond
Blue within blue, the water in my eyes
Reflected like a haze in the early twilight
Crying salt tears like a sweet silent prayer
Offering these words to the cumin-spiced air
"Please let me go where I left my poor heart
To join my love, for we are so far apart."
And then I looked down at my feet in the sand
Suddenly both webbed along with my hands
Falling face first into the Caribbean Sea

Ocean Revolution
Born into the storm
To cry against the sky
And sail into this hell
Not knowing why
A ruse that lit the fuse
Imagination's devastation
The strife of living life
Unknowing try
The waters that bother
A ripple equal to crippled
To wave away the day
Watch it pass by
The growing of unknowing
Miserable individual
Existence missed it
Observe it die
The reflection of connection
An end to the wind
When, it comes again
The sea will rise
To cry against the sky
And sail into this hell
Not knowing why
A ruse that lit the fuse
Imagination's devastation
The strife of living life
Unknowing try
The waters that bother
A ripple equal to crippled
To wave away the day
Watch it pass by
The growing of unknowing
Miserable individual
Existence missed it
Observe it die
The reflection of connection
An end to the wind
When, it comes again
The sea will rise

Cardiff
Seeing in wings of dragon red
And sooty mocha of castle walls
Trees rising in spring salad florets
To flecked sienna grouse's calls
A two octillion ton
Yellow rose: the sun
Encased in blooming chicory sky
With xanthous petals giving light
To pink champagne truffle
Blossoms snuggled
In blankets python green
Prim and sanguine
Amidst school bus-coloured tansy
Hemorrhage crimson geranium frenzy
And gossiping birches
For chipmunk...
And sooty mocha of castle walls
Trees rising in spring salad florets
To flecked sienna grouse's calls
A two octillion ton
Yellow rose: the sun
Encased in blooming chicory sky

Blossoms snuggled
In blankets python green

Lewis
Crowning the day
With seaweed tresses
Shells shaped
Like a lioness's
Face
And all the grace
Of waves
Racing tides
Like flocks of
Teal hummingbirds
Under clouds of
White doves
In bluebird sky
Peach rose petal
Trails
Of sand
Joining sea
And land
As though
In matrimony
Of darkness
And glow
Wedding softness
And hardness
Occasional posies...

His Ripples
The tiny ripples in his ocean will always belong to a different ocean, and those ripples trigger his devotion as he sails my seas, and my heart belongs to the ocean as I rest upon his sun drenched vastness whilst cradling his salty tears, embracing his flaws whilst holding his woes to enable him to find the calm in the midst of a storm, unlatch him from the screams that haunt his waking hours as they hold his heart hostage.
Cooling his explosive hothead whilst humming my song upon his lips, straddling his waist whilst we sit face to face, sharing breath and sentiment, lightly...
Cooling his explosive hothead whilst humming my song upon his lips, straddling his waist whilst we sit face to face, sharing breath and sentiment, lightly...
