Best Sailing Poems

The wind billows out from the seat of his britches
With determined blue eyes, skinned knuckles and knees
he climbs up the rails nailed from old cedar pieces
to the uppermost yoke of an old pecan tree

He is Captain on board, in pretend salty breezes
From his perch in...

I've sailed across many mystic seas
while hazy moonlight washed over me.
I watched glittering stars shine till dawn,
then closed wearied eyes and stifled a yawn.

By shadowed lantern light I have written verses
about flying fish and Charybdis' guzzling curses;
of humpback whales that breach crested waves
then plunge the...

My life is like a sailboat,
                    Sailing on the sea.

Sailing Away Under a Silver Moon Forever

As the morning slowly awakens I see how those beautiful eyes
Of yours warmly shine bright and share thy palpable feelings of
Enchanted moments of true love and unbridled fiery emotions. 

Making love to me in the depths of your sweet...

My life’s ship,

Under the watchful eye of The Lord,

Opened its adventurous sails of hope and

Prepared to cross

The turbulent ocean of afflictions without fear

Searching for the harbor of tranquility

That God has prepared for it to

Anchor!

Sailing Beyond My Dreams

Sailing deeply into my dreams—
All night long, I could sense it,
The ocean in its pure magnificence and majestic wonder.
I smelled Nature’s soft salt from the sea in the air,
Savoring complete its true sensorial magic and delight.
I heard the rhythmic melody of the...

Cruising the Mediterranean
I don't wish to fight any more
I want to enjoy the sunset
On the sea I so adore

Please hold your tongue
In silence,
View the beauty all around,
Tend the sails with care
So we don't run aground

I'll make us Margaritas,
We'll dine in finest style
As our sloop carries...

the moon 
blooms the night 
in unmoored  
time 

sail your dreams  
to mystic
realms

Out at sea, serene and soothing,
on a sheet of lapis lazuli,
a graceful forward motion,
kissing the coast line,
sailing at high speed,
skimming over the salty waters,
the breeze caressing my face,
filling the taut sails with power.

A short distance away
sunlit vistas, rugged rocks,
and white washed villas.
Afar a dolphin jumps...

As I sailed in a small ivory sailboat
on crystal blue waters. 

The wind gently blew through my 
mahogany hair.

Next, I saw dolphins doing backflips 
out of the water causing a ripple
effect. 

Then as I sailed some more I saw 
a school of rainbow fish swimming...

he longed to sail away,

from all his broken dreams, 

even If, 

his sailing was done,

In muddy puddles and streams....

To fill each tethered sail, the winds must blow
in harmony, while gentle currents flow,
and if good fortune wishes to prevail,
the winds must blow to fill each tethered sail.

To still the roaring sea the winds must calm
for sailing ships to play their faring psalm,
and when St....

My love can part the oceans,
But it hasn’t reached your shores…
Sailing in the breeze with emotions,
As my heart rudders and explores.

Within the mist of heartaches,
The thunder passes through…
Shattering sorrows of earthquakes,
Exposing the love I have for you.

The deep sea swallows my soul,
I’m drowning in ambient...

Searching through the memories lost deep within my heart.
Of someone I no longer know that long ago did part.
The mornings gathered years of dust.
As the future I no longer trust.

Embracing tides that washed away.
That dust that gathered in the day.
Left empty slates to start anew.
But...
