Best Castaway(A) Poems

Castaway love

Slipped on the slope of mistaken disorder 
Whispered my love in the palm of her hand 
Watched as she waved from a ship near the border
Standing alone in a cavern of sand
Covered myself with a dune formed of sorrow
Dropped every anchor I held in...

Warm summer breeze touching the palms
Two bodies entangled on a hidden beach
The moon enhanced by the Southern Cross
The depths of our souls within our reach

The scent of ocean, the taste of coke and rum
The sand between my toes as we walk through the night
The sight...

After Derek Walcott’s Poem

We have this in common
Sandy spit
Empty hours to walk alone

Needing to find use
For the forgotten
In the eyes of other people

Washed up
Softens all tones
To sandblasted blue glass

Eyes, drawn out toward sky
The driftwood branch has stars
Or rafts toward uncertain lands

Toward a fire pit nest
where...

Silent in a sturdy mountain shelter, she scribed
About the castaway who lived in her mind
Worn rebel looks, tall and slender
Flaxen hair, blue jeans and leather
Sunburned by life's storms, weathered

One golden day his soft blue eyes found a life renewed
Instant passion stirred, woes of a battered...

Over the horizon, 
on distant shores
lies my message in a bottle
cast askew on the beach
with other remnant memories
and hopes in tatters scattered
strewn among the drift wood debris
dead soldier memories lying face down
castaway sailor survivor sobs long gone,
in the debris fields of dead memories, silent

On distant...

If stranded on a tropical island
                         and could have but 3 things,

I speak 
to you in
verses, fencing
for my life

From the crevasses of 
my shaken 
soul come about lost 
voices I neglected
to hear, fragments
of piercing awareness I
inadvertently 
forgot, deranged 
feelings wrapped around my 
throat like 
a silk scarf forcing
me to breathe deliberately, disorganized
nonsense pouring
out of my buzzing
brain...

==================================

At last I have been cast away...
You've set your sight on newer shore.
My sail's right at half mast today
and there might stay forever more

Though in the past you shone for me, 
at last I have been cast away...
Lost in the dark, alone at sea,
tossed like...

Castaway :-
Long day…longer it gets…
with no hand at a distance,
grey skies, with glimpses of clouds
that traverse together, like a bound existence.

far off, in the sultry fields
a raw sight, of a damsel,
a women…or a helpless maiden
hardly could anyone tell.

dry eyes, with a wry smile,
and a piece...

A mom tucked in her child one night
In bliss he fell asleep
Her horror grew at day’s first light
She could not help but weep

A changeling lay in her son’s place
With wings, large hooves and tail
She scorned the babe who sought embrace
“Lord, curse the troll,” she wailed

For...

In Truth I say no castaway No castaway in deed
For on this day no castaway be castaway for me 
My soul shall I pour no more let not a out a single drop
For the well run not dry as long as the river flows but...

dark water restrains
coconut tree reflections
I dream of pizza...

Glue together
  Flu barretta
   Sick sorry sad soul
     Alone in my bones
       Castaway island moon
         Crying at me dying whilst the suns sighing

As I stand upon the shore
Waving goodbye without belief
A mixture of emotions
Churns away into the sea
I'm happy that your pain is gone
The pressure has been relieved
But you have no idea, what it's doing to me

Lift a sullen anchor
Climb out of the foamy sea
Navigate to a...

Castaway
Lost in a cutthroat world
Yearning for mother's
Bosoms full of 
My nourishing milk...
