Best Marlin Poems
I was made
To venture undulating time
And chase the tides forever facing forward
Through glinting waves by unknown shores
I migrate
The oceans’ warm currents for
Thousands of miles yearly, continuing
Always onward, always embraced by water
I am
The mighty blue marlin mirroring a sight
Of the blue heavens above, divinely
I was created to breathe and to glide
As this ocean life’s own,
Yet by His magnificent, pure Holy design,
I am
Powerful, challenging, defying death often
I leap
Above the rolling waves into radiant light
As water gleaming streams off my sides
Over the scars of hooks still there by fishers’ tries
I am a blue marlin
Born and destined to survive for decades
In sparkling waves observed by my sparkling eyes,
Loving the eternal swim through His created
Waters that brought our planet to life.
It was my birthday and my partner wanted to take a trip to Mazatlan,
on the coast of Mexico. We decided to go deep-sea fishing so the next day.
We got up very early and headed to the beach. We were in a small
boat with two other men. We started out and the driver had hooked up
our lines with leuers as big as my forearm. Well within one hour we hooked
an eleven foot sail-fish, the beautiful beast took about 45 minutes to capture
after putting up an admirable fight we landed him and put him inside the boat.
As he died I remember his beautiful blue color turned to black. It wasn't
pleasant, I felt a tinge of guilt because they were not eatable but only stuffed
for show. I could just imagine how ridiculous this giant fish would look on my
small apartment wall,
We continued on our excursion and not even an hour later we hook another fish...
who ever thought it would be the fisherman's dream...a blue marlin. This required
some strength so the five of us took turns reeling her in. The marlin would jump
out of the water and the captain would speed up the boat in her direction allowing
us to reel the line in faster. Well we played this sordid game for five hours until the
marlin died of exhaustion. Now dead it floated to the top of the water, black instead
of blue from the loss of oxygen. We tied him to the side of the boat...he was over
eleven feet and weighed 750 lbs. The captain hung out the blue flag and we drove
back to shore to be welcomed by many from the small town. We were instant
celebrities but my guilt was getting the best of me. How or why did I just kill
these two beautiful animals, just for sport! ...barbaric.

Everyone's
Satisfaction
A smile
A guitar
A rolled up cig
A voice that sings
At every gig
A mind that travels
Beyond this plain,
A sense of humor,
Sometimes insane...
A devotion
To daughters
Of whom he was
so proud,
A tendency never,
to talk too loud
Words and thoughts
Wise beyond his years,
Human suffering
That brought on tears

His Gors nickname
"Marlin"
I wonder if he liked to fish,
One thing's for sure,
I truely wish
He did still tread
This earth, a world
so grand,
I was oh so privileged
To be in his band.

Told me you loved me
told me you cared
if thereah- problem
You'd always be there
I could lean on you
Cause you really loved me
Said you were my lover
My Lover and Friend
In such this obligation
a emotional stress
seems you were testing me
And I passed your test
Asked me to yours
All to yourself
Just me and you
And no one else
I saw you dancing
Act like I wasn't there
Grooving and grinding
you without a care
A lustful sight
for all to share
an effect to shame me
it's you without a care
A quarter to Nine
where have you beeen
I have to be somewhere
you out with your freinds
My busted Ego
My mind battered and bruised
feeling unloved
I'm feeling used
My foes would say
That's what he get's
and smile with laughter
with no regrets
What can I do
find someone else
aint right feeling unwanted
All by yourself
Care to mention
What's wrong and what's right
Don't tell me you love me
Just to have something to say
Should I even bother
When troubles ah bound
To say you ain't here
You're know where around
Spoke-it to mention
what's going on
you're right when you're right
you're wrong when you're wrong
A means to an end
that's how we relate
Shedule time together
for you to negate
I've been your fool
To keep your attention
Been your clown too
That aint too cool
I saw you dancing
I got all frustrated
I just walked away
this is so complicated
If this Guy's your new Mister
then this is over
Don't kiss me
or lean on my shoulder
