Fine
The summer sea was a metal colored steel sheet beneath a broken moon.
So much mystery in the dark starless sky,
my cells forever throbbing - why?
The rush and drag of the universe, swirling, foaming around my bare tiny feet.
We are told do not wade far into the deep.
But that's where the treasures lie.
In search of other humans with identical
questions plaguing their curious minds.
As opposed to surface people with their - I'm just fine.
So much mystery in the dark starless sky,

Global Warming Warning 2
The east coast gets those devastating hurricanes
While the west coast goes into long drawn-out drought
I just saw a video of Canadians getting tornadoes
While climate change deniers are still spreading doubt
A U.S. Senator escapes the freezing temperature
While people suffered and died in the terrible cold
Whether it’s Fahrenheit or Celsius for the wealthiest
The weather is always fine in their palaces of gold
Now an unbearable heat is sweeping across the land
Diligent and responsible water conservation is a must
Why won’t...

Mistress of the Deep
The Mistress of the Deep
has come for my good
hearted soul because
she loved me with all
her heart and her
soul couldn't rest
until we find her treasure
Which is the:
Peral Heart of Sadie
Which she needs in
order to go back
into the underworld
of the Blue Coral Ocean
of the Misty Waters
has come for my good
hearted soul because
she loved me with all
her heart and her
soul couldn't rest
until we find her treasure
Which is the:
Peral Heart of Sadie
Which she needs in
order to go back
into the underworld
of the Blue Coral Ocean
of the Misty Waters

The perfect storm
I stray
from where it's warm
choose the perfection
of icy wind
cutting me
in tidy little ribbons
releasing anxious pain
in whispered
rivulets
It's my way;
wandering alone
roaming far away
from hearth and home
unharbored— jettisoned
finding rapture in ruins
my own shipwrecked architect
Squalls carry familiar sounds,
recognition is a meandering thought
slivers of miracles
erode time
tamp down depression
refreshing stagnant minds
hailing the horizon's harmonic...

TO BE ABLE TO ESCAPE
What would you give of thyself if it was possible not impossible, to just escape to somewhere that time passes, so silently as it has become, non-existent to the naked eyes. What would you give of thyself if you could imagine how very much, would you appreciate the peacefulness with it's serenity with a calmness, and a majestic vibe that connects you to your inner voice. Reaching beneath the deepness of your mind and touching the walls of your own chain of thoughts. Now let's just pretend that what you see through your own eyes, is not an mirage but just a wonderful painting. That you have...

The Lost Books
The news announced the sinking ship;
water pushing its metal hull
off a gangplank of the straight
until it crumbled as crystal over rock
Planes spotted flotsam and jetsam
—pinched debris riding a caterpillar
of watery waves inching across the sea—
its waterlogged bite engorged
from strewn pages as leaves
sinking into a survivorless
translucency
Below, a commandeered army
—a delegation of new ghosts
manifesting posthumously
because sometimes Poseidon reads
while sitting peacefully at his desk—

Mermaid romance
Moonlight lovesongs stream
baroque sonatas skim the sea
silver threads of prose dance,
in temples of luminescent dew;
van gogh paintings of lapis blue
Eros winds caress two
Sylvan dreamscapes fade
beneath cerulean covers
dawn splashes halo wings
Botticelli portraits unfold
venus teardrop cascades
cameo of mermaid lovers
Duets shimmer fey moonlight
irridescent symphony colors
silhouettes swim ocean rythmns
embrace silver mist rhapsody
pisces aligns to neptune's treasure
heartbeats in crescendo...

Cytherean Eldorado
These uncharted waters
are dizzying
& disturb
The orientaion
of
hight
depth
distance
&
time;
I have forgotten who I am
or where I came from,
In search of Cythera
or Eldorado -
Because I had nothing better to do,
or,
Because
I
was
looking
For
the
equivalent
of
You.

Menage a trois
The sky would not commit to clouds
but settled for a mist
wherein the planet Venus sank
Like courtesans when kissed...
strait down into her ocean bed
fast dimming in the west
to better see the lunar light
gowned in her seaward best.
In thicker banks she would descend
with Luna right behind
as goddess duo coterie
of like licentious mind.
What coven plan might they both scheme
when drifting in the sea?
As mortal men drift off to dream
of rendezvous for three!

Blue Jean Sea
Wondering if you’ll hold
A breathing note you can fold
Stuff in your Blue Jean Sea
With deep pockets and frayed edges
Of white trickling foam
Weep and seep your salt into me
Whitecap crests like hands
Too heavy to touch a beach sun
Fingertip tides so high
Raise me into your water palm
From miles of haunted shoreline
Erase my sunken footsteps
My black hair will be your keratin cape
Cloaking each drowned living memory
My soaked lungs will help you breathe
A sigh of relief in...
A breathing note you can fold
Stuff in your Blue Jean Sea
With deep pockets and frayed edges
Of white trickling foam
Weep and seep your salt into me
Whitecap crests like hands
Too heavy to touch a beach sun
Fingertip tides so high
Raise me into your water palm
From miles of haunted shoreline
Erase my sunken footsteps
My black hair will be your keratin cape
Cloaking each drowned living memory
My soaked lungs will help you breathe

Silent Bond
know the oceans somber motion
In every wave that hits the shore
The endless connection
Between land and sea
The crashing storms
That give it menace
The still calmness
It’s prayer for peace
The ebb and flow
With its silent bond to the moon
Like the pull of hearts
The gravity of souls in love
In every wave that hits the shore
The endless connection
Between land and sea
The crashing storms
That give it menace
The still calmness
It’s prayer for peace
The ebb and flow
With its silent bond to the moon
Like the pull of hearts
The gravity of souls in love
