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....

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...

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?"

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...

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.

Ocean Breeze
I felt the ocean breeze.
I breathe in the scent of beach sand.
And I try not to sneeze.
With birds flying in the sky.
I make a sandcastle and don't ask why.
Fish swimming,with dolphins,wild and free.
With the ice cold water,despite the hot weather.
As you go in it with a group of friends.
You play together as kids and make amends.
The sun shines on your face.
The moon controls the tide at night with grace.
You look at it whatsoever with a wondering face.
Personally,I always found the ocean soothing.

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

Shimmering
beside an ocean in constant motion
on a world far away
liquid and luscious like the emotion
that I am feeling today
a sparkling, shimmering consciousness simmering
rising above to within
a cosmic glimmering, humming and himmering
ecstatic vibrational spin
beside the motion of a new ocean
reflecting refracted light beams
whose photons are dancing, leaping and prancing
moving together in streams
flashing and dashing seemingly crashing
into the deep blue sea
bouncing then leaving, in the air weaving ...
