When I was a kid, I only knew the sea from a distance— from the deck of a ship, sailing from Manila to Bacolod. I’d lean against the railings, watching the water stretch limitless, wondering what it felt like to touch. It wasn’t until high school that I finally stepped into it. Waves around my legs, sand between my toes. And just like that, I fell in...

Ocean waves call me. Beckoning me to stop and stay a while. Staying awhile to listen to the peaceful music of the waves breaking upon the sand. Watching waves persistently pulling back to start again with no hesitation. If only the waves spoke a foreign language only I could understand. I would stay...

There is another peninsula I’ve been meaning to see. Up there, there is a shoreline just for me. Maybe I’ll drive up north on Friday. There’s no reason to take a plane where I’d have to pay. Just enough money for gas and food. Gas stations with keychains for every mood. We stopped at my favorite...

Feeling corny By the sea Stretched out baby Please look at me I got on my shades Do you think I’m hot This yellow tan baby It ain’t store bought Rub in that butter Slather me up If you rub deeply I’m bound to pop Sun kissed towels Baby you and me Both feeling corny down by the sea. Mystic Rose’s Choose one image poetry prompt contest. Image number one. ...

Bonding with Nature Early Sunday morning; nature rattling at the front door! I accept the invitation to bond, stepping out with nothing more in tow than an upturned collar and a theatrical imagination. The morning’s ground is well-baked pastry, crusted with a shiver of winter; sunlight whispering across the ground all sharp colour and playfulness. So I stride out, church bells skipping alongside with light...

A DAY ON THE BEACH CAN'T BE BEAT written for "Choose One Image Poetry Contest," Mystic Rose, sponsor Two ears of corn on the sand, With no sunscreen, they thought it was grand. They basked in the rays, In a golden haze, Till they popped like a snack, so unplanned! ...

Dearest Tenser: Told you I would write you about the weekend. Pray for them flood peoples and all. But got some news for ya. She used a chrt to list the men she'd been with. We sat in the dining hall listen to her presentation. It was right before the BBQ. She went inside and started cooking. Acting like...

The ocean I always had a fear of the ocean you know? Those deep dark tides pulling you in The darkness lurking beneath the horizon But oh how beautiful it is Pulling me closer and closer Until my feet feel the shore going back home then coming back to me for a short moment before leaving again I hated...

The two Cobs at the beach made a stop Each then laid out their blanket to plop! But they somehow forgot That day's sun was too hot- Quickly, Madam Cob's kernels did pop! ...

I learned to smile with grit in my teeth, as I watched the waves, come in, and go out. They made a hollow in the sand, left behind when the tide rushed out. For whom is this hole? I dip in the hole to swim, treading water, kicking just enough, to keep my nose and head, just above the water,...

The Cornelius's were bathing in the sun The husband said, I am cornier than you, Hun She said, try to butter me up, my dear And whisper "I love you" into my ear But if you pop up on the beach again- we're done ...

That rolling road of the ocean propelling you into daydreams. I love beach life more everyday. Skin smooth with coconut lotion, that’s truly as luxe as it seems. Grinning at the shoreline you stay. Falling into such devotion faces are lifted by sunbeams. Heat’s fleeting, much to my dismay. Charged current in constant motion, glitter on the turquoise tide gleams. Race the mavericks...
