Best Harbours Poems

When life parades a fine line 
between alienation and rationality,
internal intruders of the soul shroud spotlights.

In my dreams 
I'm playing charades with the grim reaper.
surrounded by selfish acts from satanic spirits.
Featherless angels of twilight need tender pearls,
as gifts from the elusive self-centred sun,
when a jealous...

THE CITY AND THE STATE OF PLAY TODAY

No one worries about morals today 
They follow the rules they create
So to them all is ok
Those on the outside looking in 
Are the only ones feeling queasy 
As avarice and selfishness triumphs
So easily 

Good corporate citizens they...

Let me take you to Venice
passing through the canals
all the alleys and valleys
gondolieurs,souvenirs,
saying cheers,drinking wine 
whilst we dine,full moon  
lanternes lightning sweet Venice,
its the place for romance
our place, shall we dance?
home sweet home ,we're in Venice............
Let me take you to Paris,
lovers home were we...

The Highland Princess
Sails again
Its captain and dove
To the Mediterranean
 
Now so much in love
To an island they go
To celebrate their engagement
For their love truly flows
 
This archipelago of seven
In this sea of blue
Aboard our babe
As we enjoy the views
 
Marina we berth
Settle in for the...

Standing on this sun-soaked beach without you,
sea splashes mix with salty tears
that the gentle wind brushes from my cheek.
My toes curl into the soft white sand
as they did whenever you caressed me.

Is it a mistake to return so soon,
whence the last strands of happiness lie?
I...

Nature teases man with its creations,
gifts that astound us and make us marvel,
a coconut is perhaps a fruit with a soul,
the exterior that harbours purity inside.
high above the ground out of hand’s reach,
in families they stay and drop one by one,
a fruit so heavy it...

I row my little boat
By Michelle Morris
23/02/2023

I row my little boat
Out onto the ocean 
I know boats are meant
To be free to explore

Harbours are safe
For ships to hide
But that's not where
They earn their stripes

Likewise, we humans
Need to meander
Through valleys and over hills
Experience the joy and...

'I think I know why the ocean flows'


When I watch the tides send spume and surf onto the poets' swaying shore

Caress the silken sand embrace high waters so quietly or with almighty roar

As tangled seaweed massages my anxious sun burnt skin and longing wishes

Gloom dissipates...

Admiration for you is easy to find
Admiration demanded can’t square in my mind!
Light even in dark you always find
Acceptance of people of any kind
My soul harbours darkness I can’t let control my mind
The contrast is so vast as your soul is the essence of kindness
Your...

Abnormal reactions,
Big stuff ups,
Countless mistakes,
Deliberate interference.

Everyday occurrences,
Foolish moves,
Give false hope,
Hear the anguish.

Injustice on the rise,
Judges on the take,
Known by those who have lost the use of their tongue.

Love seeds now uncommon,
Money in the hands of the few,
No relief in sight,
Only a few still in the...

Time is a gracious thing, 
Not designed to be troubling. 
But rather, allows us to, 
Make ourselves whole heartedly anew. 
It promises a new tomorrow, 
When the past harbours sorrow. 
Allows us to learn more, 
Make memories like never before. 
Enables our dreams to soar,...

Wave a sea softened
                  and a pain and a tenderness
                  ...

Seven ships sailed south to Salem
Sacks of spices sweet sacks of salt
Riding wave’s ridges roughly
Roughly riding seas to south

Blue shallows secrets silent secluded traps
With coral teeth and rocky cracks
Fountains sprout from huge fish backs
The Kraken awaits amidst ruined ships
With sharp hungry salivating mouth

Yet the captain...

I am a driver
responsible for controlling starting, 
stopping 
and speeding.
I am a driver of a steam locomotive 
a railway train powered through a steam engine. 
and fueled by burning combustible material.

I shall evoke nostalgia,
I am goint to lead you hand i hand
To the simple delight 
You’re going to experience an enormous...

I am both wicked and dark, and some ugly 
Aysel stay away from me, i dont want
