Island Love
My dear World Traveler Most Beloved,
I am not privy to your tropic secrets
As you may be to some of mine,
But know I’d trade my wildest of memories
Those crazy and erotic Thailand trysts
(Indulged attempting to erase my love of you)
For Hawaiian sunset dreams, adventures
And romantic nights
Alone with you
My dream might hold paired snorkeling trips
Though you, my athlete would out-swim me,
As we admire lolling turtles and exotic fish
And smiling share our sightings with each other
I’d have you give me tips and pointers ...

My Little Deep Sea
In my dreams
the waves of the ocean lap to brush the cheek of the bank,
in my arms like growing tides, I'll draw you in and pull you out to sea with me.
And over the deep deep blue we go, rocking with the waves and swirling with the wind,
living with the ocean, among the wriggling fractures of moonlight that dance upon its surface.
Mystical streaks that breathe alive and moving, inhaling the darkness.
Glowing, as these little creatures skim upon the ripples and waves, sandwiched between the endless black below and the open-mouthed void gaping above – ...

Wish I'd Jumped Ship
An ink-tone puddle or bottomless well?
Your love is so daunting
Depth few could admire and perhaps I am no different
as I drown in those sapphire eyes, full of intrigue
Reluctant to explore this shallow bay,
yet feigning ignorance to threats I receive
Bliss eludes conscious minds so I pretend you’re perfect
and uncover my soul to give you all you need
I’ve learned to observe this world from below,
so used to sinking on my own
For once I feel complete
Things as I see them now, are not as I once believed
Promises she’s...

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 Angler
Where did my page go? The shore rumbled. A flurry of camels trotted along the coast. The ivory fabric draping over the heads of distant princes—at least fifteen princes, would you believe it?—cracked like whips. They rode on horses of platinum and marble. My book plummeted. It danced upon the floor of the ship, in rhythm with the bustling party below the Mediterranean Sea.
My page did not matter. I let its wisdom vanish into the burst of colour, the brilliance: the pungent meals, the booming, poignant music. And that did not matter. All of the laws of the universe, as old as time,...

Untouchable Moon, Untamable Ocean
You are the sky - everything else is just the weather”.
If I am the sky and everything else is just the weather
What’s to be said of the effects of the sun and the moon
Or the ranks of heaven that find all, subject to the divine
I’ve never had to learn to fly to exist as the firmament
Voice of whom the winds and waves obey
Is my view of truth obstructed by the clouds that fight the day?
Light perceived through filters of dark
Nothing can smother my eternal spark
My hopes fight for their confession
It feels like...

summer Storms: Prologue
I thought I had everything. I thought I could trust those closest to me. Everything I thought I knew, was wrong. It was just oh so wrong. I had a family who loved me, friends who adored me. I did well in school, kept to myself, worked hard at a job I loved. It was during the summer of my high-school graduation where my life literally turned upside down. I went from being ‘normal’ (or whatever the closest thing to ‘normal’ was) to something else entirely.
My family wasn’t poor; in fact we were well off. Not only were we well off, but we were all close. Something that was uncommon. My...

IN SHADOWS (1-17-2003, 4:00am, Galveston Island, Texas)
tree shadows
are spirit expressions
reflections of trees
peaceful souls
silent shadows
passed through
along my way
sensed in every
fleeting shade
which falls
upon my skin
or on this
passing road below
sweet embrace
subtle touch
some gentle love
unknown
in each
of those brief
moments
i realize
for a second
how everything
in this world
is touching
something else
as earth orbits
in silent grace
around constant sun

the problem with honesty and the affects of treachery
There's something
to be said for pure
good old-fashioned
honesty
When you're up front
sincere in thought
and deed
crystal clear
in all that's recognized
as
your truth.
So—
To me,
treachery
is taking
that extremely
thoughtful
and hard explained
candidness—
and pissing
all over it.

Accursed Treasure
- Accursed Treasure -[
I recall it was in a far away port, so many years ago,
When the hour was past midnight in the tavern’s hall.
An old pirate with a wooden leg and a heart of woe,
He told us of a treasure, and how it had cost him all!
Accursed by the ancients, not known by men today,
There was a chest filled with jewels buried on an isle.
No more would the old man search for another day,
So it fell to us to make his knowledge so worthwhile.
The crew expected an easy voyage, and easier loot,
But the skies grew dark and the waves...

Oh, Atlantis, Broken Heart
In these times of New Age Golden
where so many teachings thrive
I know a young heart sought in
the deepest of the Self new life.
I know that Petur Dunov,
Toth of Pre-Atlantis time,
also known as Beinsa Duno
among White Brotherhood that shines,
is the one who taught in Egypt
and his legacy was brought Eastwards,
in this Earth of hidden crypts,
the Children of the Unity were Stars.
Did you know the story of Atlantis?
Innovative, my, so experimentative,
now their offsprings sing hosannas,
but they...
