Best Marina Poems

in the name of living art
pushing the limits risking it all
i put myself out teetering on every ledge
i stand where everyone can see
my nakedness flaunted as body art

i dare to expose my vulnerability
my passion lusts boldly for innovation
an unbridled vision steers my powerhouse
flashing artistic flair...

Had I another life, I'd own a boat,
And in a Blue Marina I'd reside.
People on the dock, they'd call me "Cap'n"
Life's up and down would simply be the tide.

Navigation would be done by Sextant.
I'd try to learn the port from starboard side.
I'd know a reef,...

I like that you are ill, but not by me,
I like that I'm not drowned within your fever,
that heavy sphere of earth will never be 
ran out under the feet of us like river.
I like, I can be funny, yes, i do,
to be so carefree...

This poem is from a book I'm working on of poems based on great poems I love. I have taken their format and the basic style and tried to craft my own poem like it. Just for fun. Not to compete. This poem is based...

My dream of yesterday I'm calling
under caress of a plush plaid,
What was that? And who won? Who's falling?
Who was defeated? What is bad?

I think again, I change my thinking,
Anew I feel the sweetest pain,
Say, was it love of just a winking,
I have no word for...

{For Mareena}
   On the bank of precipice, i stand
   Appealing to impotent gale;
   Not to nudge the dosing hurricane awake,
   Let the aborting breaking wave lull and dandle it
   To another rich world;

MARINA OF 270 DAYS
So happy, young and beautiful she was
In her simple pale yellow wedding gown
There before the altar she stood 
Angelic and pure as the morning dew
In her shyness, obeisance and  humility
Serenity sensing a tempest anchored 
Here in the vast ocean of dreams...

"ode to Marina"

as its been awhile I thought of saying hello and reminisce of how it all began
years ago filling in for a coworker who would later fill in for me you placed a call
such is the initial encounter that started the journey involving many...

And in her death
She was a poet
Images of her past
Skipped through her mind
Her dead child, her friends, her lovers
Paris, Russia, famine
But images of eternity
Led her to eternity...

A shade of purity,
but with a hint of notoriety.
Deceptive but innocently,
Aquamarine, like you, I live up to be.

Peace you may bear,
but chaos I can bare.
Clear blue eyes,
virtuously hiding lies.

I Know The Truth
by Marina Tsvetaeva
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

I know the truth?abandon lesser truths!
There's no need for anyone living to struggle!
See? Evening falls, night quickly descends!
So why the useless disputes?generals, poets, lovers?

The wind is calming now; the earth is bathed in dew;
the stars'...

Marina, Motherina, Baba, Mum!
Reflect upon what your life has become:
Born in Harbin to refugee Russians,
Tossed out by Mao, with mild repercussions.

Aussie girl, country girl, raised by grandmas,
And grandpa and parents (both pains in her ****).
Small school, to high school with penguin-ed nuns,
Bespeckled and bikeless -...

the Storm rages in your hair
made of sand and lovely gold dust, 
crabs and camellia

surge on, delicate
you're born like this

the Storm rages over the contours
of your body suchlike swallow's
made of amber and pearliness
and quicksilver tinge

now surge on, delicate
you are the Maelström

the Storm rages through your...

without you pressing my nerves
may I ask you 'what is this life?'
intricately untangle every fibre 
set me down a moment

can serenity be practiced 

unravel connections
isolate and remove expectations 
ask me 'what is life?'
sit with me, still

let forever wait in the wings

meet my eye
reflect my humanity
extinguish...
