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...
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...

A Sailor's Odyssey of Truths
Between the rocks of Scylla and Charybdes,
so voracious, so attractive, so hungry,
my heart sailed on a stormy sea.
Seeking the Mermaid, beauty in tenacious tone,
who lived on an island among the fearful abyss.
Maritime convulsions, disastrous results.
Scylla devoured the wanderers with her mouths.
Charybdes, the whirlwind, swallowed up the unfortunate.
In the cruel seas, the fearful sailed.
The islands were a mystery with a veil of illusion,
with shady palm trees and ivory beaches.
There my heart suffered, in solitude, ...
so voracious, so attractive, so hungry,
my heart sailed on a stormy sea.
Seeking the Mermaid, beauty in tenacious tone,
who lived on an island among the fearful abyss.
Maritime convulsions, disastrous results.
Scylla devoured the wanderers with her mouths.
Charybdes, the whirlwind, swallowed up the unfortunate.
In the cruel seas, the fearful sailed.
The islands were a mystery with a veil of illusion,
with shady palm trees and ivory beaches.
There my heart suffered, in solitude, ...

Waveriders
In pursuit of the most thrilling
Bone chilling
Fantastic fantasy
Upon cliffside scenes
New waves breaking
Are reborn dreams
Set in reality
Fading sometimes in the tides
And autumn light
Calm seas turning into dreams
Dreamt in the night
and
Felt in the sea breeze
by the early morning light
the ocean’s calling all
enticed by
the most alluring sight
In pursuit of the most thrilling
Bone chilling
Fantastic fantasy
Upon cliffside scenes
New waves breaking
Are reborn dreams
Set in reality
Fading sometimes in the tides
And autumn light
Calm seas turning into dreams
Dreamt in the night
and
Felt in the sea breeze
by the early morning light
the ocean’s calling all
enticed by
the most alluring sight

hitting sharp ocean tides
mixed in an undifferentiating
fusion of a pungently pleasant
fishy odoriferous ambience..
ah home this is
yes the sun firing as supersun
at 40 or more Celsius .. these
unstoppably streaming yellows
of a brightened sunflowering
noon .. in busy rushing crowds
with a musk of sweating stench
Ah home yes home
this sweltering heaven
Chennai 🙏

Waves
I take a short drive to the beach almost daily.
Something about the waves make me feel at ease.
Calming my mind and grounding my thoughts.
The sound of the waves crash, I could listen to them all day.
The cold breeze from the sea blowing through my hair, cold tears dripping down my cheeks.
Looking out to sea.
Something about the waves make me feel at ease.
Calming my mind and grounding my thoughts.
The sound of the waves crash, I could listen to them all day.
The cold breeze from the sea blowing through my hair, cold tears dripping down my cheeks.
Looking out to sea.

Names Of Guardians Of Delphin's See
There are many Names Of Guardians Of Delphin's See
Although there can only be one, the others cannot be
Poseidon, Neptune, Mazu, or even, Ran/Aegir
Or is it Tiamat, or Oceanus, or merely a nereid seer?
For in the darkest depths, of the eternal abyss
Immersed in Protean tales, mythology persists
So to which hydrocrat, is a dolphin's homage paid?
Or is it none of them, for they're all man made
The aggressive delusion, upon terra firm's, rife
And only in dolphin seas, is there intelligent life
For there's nothing beyond, a siren's...

Ocean in Motion
You don’t say that I’ve stopped trying,
I’ve already restrained myself from dying.
You see just a wall, white and wide-eyed,
There’s no word, but the truth you’re denied.
I’ve always loved the idea of flowers,
Changing with each passing hour,
Blooming in color, then fading away—
At least, someday, I’ll expect the change to stay.
You’ll never know what it feels like to be this way,
To give everything and get nothing in return each day.
You look at the sun, but it burns you down,
Caught in the heavy rain, I slowly drown.
...

Broken Hearts
I sail the seas with pride
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love

Soundwaves
Haunted dreams and and daydreams
And echoes of the past
The sound was just a shadow
The last
Gone as the sun went down
Blown over
With the tides
The sea now settled
Waves all crashed
And echoes of the past
The sound was just a shadow
The last
Gone as the sun went down
Blown over
With the tides
The sea now settled
Waves all crashed

Ocean
That old ocean,
salty and steady,
its stomach has been churning
since the day it was born.
Blue/ink-black in the depths
of open ocean.
Clear/Windex blue-turquoise green
at the beach, where the waves
constantly sift the shore sand.
That great salt pond that retains
the minerals rivers and streams
have brought from faraway places.
Who are we to know all its mysteries?
We stand at its edge in fear and wonder.
Curiosity and an adventurous spirit
move some to sail out of sight of land
towards the...

Shoreside
Feathers in the breeze
On the sea scene
The sea’s scene
By boardwalk painters seized
The sailors dream
Of warm breezes
and sunbeams
The future of tomorrow
Lies in the aspiration and
Visions of the plans
The fishermen see
Tides roll in
And out
Rain or sunshine
The seagulls wander over the shores
Peacefully
Squawking about
On the sea scene
The sea’s scene
By boardwalk painters seized
The sailors dream
Of warm breezes
and sunbeams
The future of tomorrow
Lies in the aspiration and
Visions of the plans
The fishermen see
Tides roll in
And out
Rain or sunshine
The seagulls wander over the shores
Peacefully
Squawking about

The Doreen 'B'
When i was in the merchant navy
I did not have
A girl in every port (or fortified wine?)
I had a porthole in every gale
Which i had to make sure
That it was secure
Against a swelling seas might
I only once forgot
My cabin had a foot of water
Which is quite a lot
More than it oughter
And i had to remember that
My porthole, was not a portal
To a world, where the oceans lay flat
There were moments
Where the terror was stark
As we got caught in a severe storm
(a force eleven, is nobody's heaven)
Fifteen...
