Best Sailed Poems

TRUE LOVE SAILED OVER SEAS

Have I met trouble when I met your ocean eyes
for beneath that steady gaze, I reach the highest sky?
Slothful moon turned grey, so the stars: tired and pale
when I behold your white angelic grace. . .

Distant and unfamiliar you may seem,
I...

Applauding sun’s halo~ inspiring, rewarding,
Mindfully I rise with the ebullient awakening
Letting soul enliven while robins are singing
And horizon crimson glimmers in dawning.

I hold time still for the blossoms of spring,
Rivers that burble sprucing green prairies
And blue tides bouncing summer’s revelry 
And resplendent dazzle of autumnal...

“Oh that ship has sailed..”
Shaking his head, following her voice as it trailed
He smiles to himself, ’give it time’, he knew, rays of Joy crack through disdain

It was love at first sight, the surround greyed and paled
Spotting this electric eccentric, dancing in the rain
“Oh that...

Once I sailed the Oceans, 
braving the blue cold water 
like a restless young shark, 
sea monsters meant naught 
and mermaids sang to me....

Once I flew thru the Skies 
freer than any eagle could, 
seeing the world below 
as heaven laid out for me 
while...

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...

Tyrian Sails Across Stormy Seas Sailed

Tyrian sails across stormy seas sailed,
and a bold prince they deliver
At every port cheerily he was hailed,
as an arrow straight from its quiver
Bade he the pilot to next morn tarry,
as he late morn gathered her so true
A pretty queen stolen...

Must you invite high breeds to the Hebrides
To maggis shellfish wine said: I love...

My Boat sailed away

dark clouds collided
above the vast ocean
waves hit
strongly urged

my boat
sailed away from me
led away
precious treasure

a special heart

turbulence wind
so powerful
ready to roll
the banner on a mast

a white banner
beautifully embroidered
knitted with
love

my favorite boat
sailed away

vast oceans
can’t be
be measured

strong expectation
the captain
remain victorious 
to guide my boat
sailing safely

develop...

a ship has sailed
tears flowing
a labored breath 
upon my cheek

off in the distance
dark shadows looming
out to sea her image fading

a ship has sailed...

Long ago has patience sailed.
Storming words and falling tears
Short is the patience and compassion unyielding in the sea of despair
Tough to swallow, tough to bear
Unfortunate is thee the receiver...

Just within the twinkling of an eye,
I found myself a success,
When I thought I was going on a journey 
which would never end.
I never gave up the courage,
'Cause I've always known 
the future holds a lot for me.
I made everything possible,
I worked hard,
Going through thick...

Dearth.

Life is that little thing
at the end of a taut wire
that, for the moment,
you cannot let go...

Nor should you want to, 
for the gods are aware
of the taut wire
and where it leads.

Life is that crazy thing
that you cannot control
or patiently push
in a wanted direction.

Nor should...

The Oceans sailed 
 I drove down to the coast today, could feel it pull
after all I was in the navy for 30 years and the oceans 
treated me well not letting my ship sink, drowning me.
The sea was grey/blue a monster asleep, yet not...

My neighbor is a pirate of fame
Who sailed and pillaged from Maine to Spain

I once heard his old parrot mimic 
Phrases common to a pirate’s gimmick.

I saw his long broadsword and musket
Looking quite time-worn, used and rustic.	  

He has a plumed hat, spy glass,...
