Tides
tides rolling in
then again leaving
splashing and crashing
endlessly weaving
in and around
over and under
with liquid sound -
awestruck in wonder
I am amazed
by all the power
relentless, unending
hour after hour
day after day
year after year
Moon and the Earth
shedding a tear
with tides rolling in
always in motion
coming and going -
life by the ocean
with liquid sound
awestruck in wonder
of all around
over and under...

The Collector
1.
Unusual, in the distance, stillness
beneath a hanging
wispy algae as it waves
a flag. The pelican
whittled down
to its base form. Stark, stranded, smooth-
an orange beak
like a bird of paradise and I sought heaven
in your duplicity, in your triplicity,
in your multitudes, a million
lights emerge
as static on the sea, I did not see it.
I believe wishes come
2.
from the wing bone. Funny,
life is not a stranger, but death is....

a somewhat fishy occurrence
Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure..... Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself?"
― Herman Melville, Moby Dick
Cascading the uncompromising wave-lipped suck of seawater searching
the surprises and reprises searching in the alternations
of animal eyes...

The Hut wayer
In a dream song by
Invention of
Fax carriers
And papper
Into the world
Of flowers and
So green tree
Sweet white
Flows through the veil of
Hut wayer royals
Jr . invention of own
Windy winter Sois
Solid wood water watershed
Springs.

Miss Nelson
Miss Nelson was an old widow who resided alone in a small house by the sea in Port Henderson. She was a peaceful and quiet person. Moreover, she did not have many friends and she kept to herself most of the times. Her next-door neighbour had a bar at the front of his yard and at nights, the loud music and the noisy drunkards caused a disturbance. The noise affected Miss Nelson, but she did not say anything about it to the owner of the bar. A particular old man who was a regular customer at the bar used to bother Miss Nelson. On weekends, he would go to her yard when he is drunk and repeatedly...

A Saelkie Tale
Drifting out on wind and wave
From the saltine sea to the darkest deep
I saw her rise from an angel grave
Emerged from the deepest Saelkie sleep
When her seal skin shed on the sandy floor
Twas a fiery auburn maiden freed
Her heart was unlocked through an open door
And bound in matrimonial deed
He sought to steal her oily skin
Transforming her to human kind
Then fire and prophecy within
Saw marriage forced by legend’s bind
With her spirit trapped, she could not flee
Away from Celtic mountain lands
Nor...
From the saltine sea to the darkest deep
I saw her rise from an angel grave
Emerged from the deepest Saelkie sleep
When her seal skin shed on the sandy floor
Twas a fiery auburn maiden freed
Her heart was unlocked through an open door
And bound in matrimonial deed
He sought to steal her oily skin
Transforming her to human kind
Then fire and prophecy within

Menage a trois
The sky would not commit to clouds
but settled for a mist
wherein the planet Venus sank
Like courtesans when kissed...
strait down into her ocean bed
fast dimming in the west
to better see the lunar light
gowned in her seaward best.
In thicker banks she would descend
with Luna right behind
as goddess duo coterie
of like licentious mind.
What coven plan might they both scheme
when drifting in the sea?
As mortal men drift off to dream
of rendezvous for three!
but settled for a mist
wherein the planet Venus sank
Like courtesans when kissed...
strait down into her ocean bed
fast dimming in the west
to better see the lunar light
gowned in her seaward best.
In thicker banks she would descend
with Luna right behind
as goddess duo coterie
of like licentious mind.
What coven plan might they both scheme
when drifting in the sea?
As mortal men drift off to dream
of rendezvous for three!

Haunting Waves
The sun is drowned
as the ocean swallows my words
spitting them back with a roar
No cheery hearth to comfort
only a cold gray vigil
with weary eyes
straining for a shore
Pale phantoms stalk the crests
the ghosts of sailors lost
whisper curses in our wake
conspiring with the wind
to cull the rigging's shake
I have no business here
What I would suffer for a light
or the safety of a star
to guide me through this night
as the ocean swallows my words
spitting them back with a roar
No cheery hearth to comfort
only a cold gray vigil
with weary eyes
straining for a shore
Pale phantoms stalk the crests
the ghosts of sailors lost
whisper curses in our wake
conspiring with the wind
to cull the rigging's shake
I have no business here
What I would suffer for a light
or the safety of a star
to guide me through this night
