"The Sea's Silent Symphony"
The sun, a molten gold coin, shimmered on the surface of the Coral Triangle, a vast, pulsating heart of the ocean. Spring’s gentle warmth had coaxed a symphony of life from the depths. Coral polyps, tiny architects of the sea, unfurled their delicate tentacles, capturing the sun-kissed plankton that drifted on the currents. Clownfish, their vibrant orange stripes flashing like jewels, darted amongst the anemones, their symbiotic dance a testament to the intricate balance of this underwater Eden.

Genesis
I am the wind beneath blowing at Hell’s feet
When Demons come to the roundtable to greet
My sword’s tip ingrained in the wood
No permission granted in earthly rest until the understating of man’s devious plight is understood
Spells I ordained, your souls blended to entertain
Who dare deny the force of the afterlife, when it resides in me
The spiritual prodigy born with a discerning third eye
My heart, mind, soul manifested to obey unto man’s purgatory just to appease
Can bridge one moment to the next glimpsed of...

~selkie:: in the sempiternal inner calling
The one thing which we seek with insatiable desire is to forget ourselves, … to lose our sempiternal memory, and to do something without knowing how or why….” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
she
has appeared
for me ..
watching me
following me ..
an intervention
decodes me this
now…
will i be able to
sense her presence ..
she had risen for me
from the deep seas
.. in her enchanted seal
form .. her dense shiny skin ...

I Sea You...
The trilogy of sound, body, and mind, the current of the waves softly calls out to comfort me
A baritone voice whispers his midnight lullabies to place me in a deep sleep
Closing my eyes to the calming alluring sound
Images of a sovereign that once held the holiness of a crown
No soil to greet the soles of my feet
No clouds, stars, upon Heaven did I greet as I sunk into the depth of the deep
A forgotten interval when water cleansed my intellect from the chaos found upon the wickedness of God’s earthly land
One...

The Torchbearer
Deep
within the ocean's heart
light is scarce
yet sometimes rare
—a little angler fish’s torch
illuminates
the darkness there
A fishing lure
it softly sways
temptation
in an endless haze
so seldom seen
amid the dark
a false beacon
of appetite
Her humpbacked nature
in eerie depths
where silence holds
its secrets...

Irish Eamond
An old Irish man once told me......
A sweet spot is a place.
Where fairies pass over unseen.
Magic passes over too.
He looked like a sweet old fella. But!
Standing behind you, he'd cast spells.
Full of Jiggery pokery & clownish too.
A fan of Crowley & other bunkum.
Even now I miss the old fella,
Wish I'd been more relaxed, back then.
Listened to his tales of leprechauns.
Fairies pixies & puffs n stuff.
If someone asked him, so what do you do?

widow weeping endymion
eye to I, the rushing current;
she wrote, with intent, in the sand:
If I sacrifice my bitterness to the waves,
would I be allowed, then, some
human vulnerability?
Some tender grief, indeed…
This curiosity was cast to the waves as a scrying
for which there could be a hoped-for answering call
from beyond the halls of entropy.
…asked as if the body were not some broken wild thing
crystalized In fulgurite spiraling towers,
perpetually in.tense, either past or future -
no present for life to live itself...

Spy among Us
Tentacle stretches across the sea floor
With some suckers on his arm gripping onto his prey
When he’s with a friend wraps his arm around
And hugs him up
As a hermit crab searches for a new home
So they line up size by size to find a new apartment
With a camera on his shell so I can see
What’s going on in the land of the hermits
They proceed to move into their new shell
Some happy some not so much
A pigs day begins in the Caribbean
Swimming in the ocean
They swim like Michael...

I Am The Song Of Her Nautilus
I Am The Song
Of Her Nautilus
Sweethearts loiter by the sea in the maritime province of the old country for centuries of sunsets over La Mer until Papa tells Galatea it is time to go to the city and seek her fortune there. But when her shore is engulfed by Neptune’s fury her island is adrift in the waves. Galatea and her man wear only their wedding clothes when like refugees from the lost continent of Atlantis they abandon the sinking land of uncertainty as they step foot upon the terra firma of marriage. But he loves the land more than her and chooses to live on one of...

i shall arise
Sometimes the worst thing that happens to you, the thing you think you
can’t survive… it’s the thing that makes you better than you used to
be.”—Jennifer Weiner, Fly Away Home
so many, many stars:
eyes of the skies that search the twilight night!
they know not scars or wars,
although the space between them seems so tight.
o splashing, dashing sea:
how many drops of water does it take
to set full free your glee,
when thrusting river, stream, and brook, and lake

LOVE IN MY ARMS (I)(original 1st draft;1976; Poretto Jetty, Galveston, Texas; struggling with being Gay at 22 yr.s old)
love in my arms
here then gone
comes and goes
like some rare moon tide
so infrequently in my life
sunrise soon brightened
into new day
but it s clarity only added to
my ever deepening
self loathing s confusions
so i chose to stay home
until the sun had gone down
as evening eventually arrived
only a comfortable disguise
then down to the beach i walked
as night s darkness soon fell upon me
