OUTSIDE THE BOX
As the season slowly beings to change and fall appears upon and within the trees that slowly begin to change there colors, and the skies change from baby blue to dark and gray mix with a touch of white puffy clouds, that drift slowly upon the winds of time as if done by magic.

When You See Me In The Sea, You'll Know How Departed I'll (be) Bound To Be

And then, of course, there's
the other one (all ways an
other one).
No one courts stupidity
any better than I, (as per me), wagin'tail
like some durned old dog on
anti-deep'resant dr'ugs. Yes, iyam.
(Youknow iyam).
so what's all the fuckin'
fuss and bother, officer? If I told you once,
consider it 1000 times said that my daddy
went down(down'down) wit The Titanic, amidst

Epi(C)urious
One fish, two fish
red fish ... blowfish ...
You've all come to the right place;
have a seat, pay attention
and be sure to take notes -
school is now in session
Writing an epic is no easy feat
especially for those of us
in the halibut of avoiding excess
not to mention dreaded cliches
so as to not lull readers
into waning interest;
wandering off in ways
of the mind first, then body -
suddenly more intrigued with
food expiration dates

The Cruel Princess
There she swings, an empty hulk, not a soul below now,
Number seven starboard mess misses Jack and Joe now."
Echoed from the ghosts on the sea floor,
Walking through the wreckage of a ship now, nevermore.
Once the mightiest of sea vessels,
And partook in the mightiest of sea battles,
But now overrun with barnacles, seaweed, and kelp,
And plundered by merfolk, a ship beyond help.
Amongst the rotting wood, half buried in the sand,
Glimmers a doubloon, from a treasure once grand,
Caught by a rare ray of sunlight,
That...

Echoed from the ghosts on the sea floor,

And plundered by merfolk, a ship beyond help.

Atlantis rises
Under the water a city floats.
Invisible walls protect the people from the ocean.
Above the waves, nobody knows of the city below.
The worshipers lay flowers before their Gods to show their devotion.
For centuries this city has stood against the wave of incoming tides.
For generations its people have tried,
To find a way to live above and not just accept being uprooted;
But there are those would claim to rule,
So Atlantis must remain secluded.
The Atlantian’s feel trapped inside their sphere.

Mop
Upon this death I see before me,
Four stood soldiers waiting patiently.
Beneath my feet I guess there could be,
An empty space of contemplation.
I built this place for only my eyes to see.
I come here occasionally when I need a vacation.
I am bound to watch the day pass.
I plead ignorance with such sincerity.
Because I stole a broach, apparently, in the past,
I am tied to the mast, by the quarter mast.
Nobody believes in me and as the sun burns my eyes,
I cannot close them for they hold no water inside.
The lid upon my...

Swimming
I'm no big fish in little water.
More like a small fish who longs
for the abyss that I miss, with
higher levels of reef that get hotter
than women in my dreams of sheer bliss
or the rage in my friends who look upon
and see my skills as tragically squandered.
Sorry but my shots seem to have missed.
That was long ago, and now
I no longer bother dismissing.
I only listen and nod along, as they sing songs that insist
my bow is dusty because I've never even shot her.
They know nothing of my...

Mermaid
I want to love you across the world.
The land dwelling creature longs for the sea,
Like the horse pines for the dolphin,
Poke your head out and breathe my air.
It is not worth it on land; I'm bored
With the world I know; it is too dry.
Too in step with my own kind;
I want to turn your head around.
I want your gills to grow to lungs.
I want to dive and feel uncomfortable
Living out of my element
To learn my body's limits more.
If I never loved a fish,
A foreign representative,
What would I learn of the...

The Home in the Bay
Out on the sea,
The place I love to be,
In the middle of a battle,
Or taking a gamble,
That there's treasure in a shipwreck, cove, or island sand.
Ever since I was but a wee lass, building castles in the sand,
And watching the merfolk play,
And the ships boarding and leaving the dock at the bay,
Knowing this was my destiny,
My own prate ship of beauty.
To sail upon the seas,
The most fearsome pirate on the seven seas,
With the most loot,
And the highest body count, to boot!
And whenever I would gaze upon...
The place I love to be,

And the ships boarding and leaving the dock at the bay,

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?”
