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—

The coral, in venue
Safe in the waters
the fodder of fish
The salt in the pail
The tang of the swish
The coral, in venue
The sharks in the den
The squid’s in there making
The ink for my pen
The ocean’s a parlour
The sands are amiss
The seashells are clapping
Immersed in their bliss
The waves are contesting
All flocked in a flair
The mists are all churning
A malt in the air
In a sea
in a revel
In the mark of a bloom
And the land in a bevel
the ocean,
a womb
the fodder of fish
The salt in the pail
The tang of the swish
The coral, in venue
The sharks in the den
The squid’s in there making
The ink for my pen
The ocean’s a parlour
The sands are amiss
The seashells are clapping
Immersed in their bliss
The waves are contesting
All flocked in a flair
The mists are all churning
A malt in the air
In a sea
in a revel
In the mark of a bloom
And the land in a bevel
the ocean,
a womb

Stillness
I sit here looking at the burnt orange sunset
Reflecting off the flat pond
I am no painter with a brush and easel
My thoughts paint the scene
My words color it
May it be dark or light or somewhere in between
Still, I look at the stillness
I envy the quiet in this moment of dusk
To see peace and never have it
Like tempting you with the sweetest delicacy
Only a centimeter away and still never allowed to have it
Even the birds are quiet in this reflective peace
...

You belong to Me
You belong to Me,
said earth to water
You yearn to kiss the sky;
ready to lose your identity for her
But does she even
care for you
even though you wear her
shades of blue?
The stars adorn her
like glitters on her face
and the moon woos her
with his silvery serenade
She is the queen of the cosmos
beyond your reach
but I'm the warmth that you seek;
pressing you onto my bosom
far and deep.
The sun and the wind conspire
to take you away from me, ...
said earth to water
You yearn to kiss the sky;
ready to lose your identity for her
But does she even
care for you
even though you wear her
shades of blue?
The stars adorn her
like glitters on her face
and the moon woos her
with his silvery serenade
She is the queen of the cosmos
beyond your reach
but I'm the warmth that you seek;
pressing you onto my bosom
far and deep.
The sun and the wind conspire
to take you away from me, ...
