Best Boats Poems

(Dedicated to one of my childhood friends)

You were one of those charming lilies
that bloomed, so fresh, in my springtime pond;
when my homesick wings of longings flutter and soar, 
and my mind alights 
on the periphery of the playparks of the past,
I reminisce all the little...

Think, children: what will you tell
your grandchildren when they ask
about Earth--once bursting green
and red and yellow with blossoms
everywhere, and bushes serene 
in shadows of lime-colored trees,
with bird songs filling the air?

I hope you'll remember turquoise seas
brimming with life, color dancing on
water, boats with white sails,...

Bring your guns
Bring your boats
Boats filled with ghosts
Boats weighted with chains
Chains that will one day break
Chains that will carry
Carry us to Zion
Carry our pain
Pain born of separation 
Pain that preceded
Preceded our birth
Preceded our rising
Rising here within a new nation
Rising for we know
Know that Ja is...

Raging, inviting. Inscrutable ice
King Neptune's daughter, her moods are water
You won't dive into the same ocean twice
She'll make you think it's your net that has caught her

Catch and release is her patent device
Wives tales have brought her whales to the slaughter
You'll receive notice of your...

small boats 
can still sail 
within the stormiest 
of weathers
as long as they avoid
collecting
rain waters 
within

A snail crosses
along a razor's edge,
from it's past, complete.
To it's futures, separate.
And just before it's twin selves
slide down the opposite sides
of a steely wall
it's last thought 
captures the totality
of it's trek.
The atom in the
quantum corral,
a mirage of the discrete,
or a sum total of all?
Deck chairs...

i smile when i think of the river banks

where we crafted myriads of paper boats

out of unused sheets from our high school notes.

we would watch them float freely yet slowly

they drowned when they could no longer resist

the temptations of the blissful waters.

STOPPING BY BOATS ON A BLOWY EVENING

Whose boat this is I think I know
But still I want to sail it so
He will not see me jumping in
To take it out there for a row

The mountains think the theft’s a sin
The hills watch me with eerie...

I sat on a redwood dock 
 in the town of Crescent City. 
 My mom had recently died. 
 and my heart was full of pity. 

 South Carolina is my home 
 but I needed to flee. 
 Under cold and starry skies...
