Best Saltier Poems

The Poem I Never Wrote

Is still on my lips 

Buried treasure at the time

Now it's a barnacle on the ships side 

And with each passing year

It keeps growing and growing

In infamy 

In its infancy, some 50 years ago

The stage was set

We were twelve, once

Like two...

Always toking strong
A continual breeze blowing on
Meanwhile a lot kept going wrong

Over petty things they were so fond
Forming such a close bond
Among all these neutrons and protons

A lot done in a week
Answers found where rivers meet
It is bittersweet

Continual pandemonium
They remained saltier than sodium
Placing unfit things...

she sat there with only one tear rolling alone to drip between her knees
Splattering on the tidal flow below.
Cross legged with ankles aching on wet jetty stone
Cold wet jetty stones gathered from God knows where
By God knows what and re planted to keep the harbor...

Her maybeline tears saltier than the oceans...peaked in glamour waves and emotions ...
I have never seen the heart of love until i gazed into her eyes 
Feverishly connected but hidden in a maze of disguise
I call her name but in return only silence caught the...

You to stop 
Messing up the 
Planet. Recycle, it’s not hard to do.
No more litter should be done. The earth
Is sick. The oz-

Silence soothes the senses with
Sweet sensations showering down
Sweeter than sugar, a seasoning
Saltier than the seas, soft and sensual
Sultry beneath sensitive breaths of 
Sunlight sending light to supply a
Subtle and splendid supplication to
Share spiritual stances with souls
Slaving, surviving, seeing past the
Sincerity in serenity, sparkling scenes
Seeing spent...

When I am on the hunt if I want fresh
I choose young, it is always fresher meat.
Young bunnies, squirrels, rats, moles, voles.
Tastier, and less of a struggle.

But when my mother’s heart catches their eye,
And I think for a second of my owlets, I sometimes
Let up,...

a meal found afloat
high in the water
tasted nasty
tasted super salty
he tightened up into
a huge ball and gave his best spit
but it went back over his head
and the jellyfish said
to a coral one day
this sea is getting thicker
saltier
I think it is drying up
 going away

I'm a song
Written in free verse
By a poet
A poet with no words

I'm a soul
Blowin' with the hurricane
Like a teardrop
Saltier than rain 

I'm a phrase
With no meaning as such
In a language
That ain't used by much
 
In the end
When everyone's heading home
I'm lost
In a place where gypsies...

The waves beat at the shore
Abruptly pouncing
Slowly retreating
Again and again
White froth churning 
My eyes watering
My throat tightening
I open my mouth
Nothing
Silence
Water blissfully moving by me
The silence so sweet
Yet saltier than the ocean waves
Neverending cerulean blue
Wading through this Atlantic oblivion
Wallowing in these dark depths
Deeper
Deeper
Laughing
Water filling my lungs
Crying
Needing...

Methinks all antediluvian Love was
Whiter than snows atop higher tors;
And with more troth dudes did kiss
Purer maidens for pleasanter bliss.

I deem Art shortly after Noah’s Ark
To have been of better-spun spark; 
And bards of far more sublime quill
Did indite with stouter metered skill.

Niftier lines which...

Sea

I am inherently patient,
I just go with the flow.
I have many dark secrets,
No one will ever know.
Sometimes I can be shallow,
Sometimes I'm dark and deep. 
When you look at me closely 
Your face is what you'll see.
I do not have a sweet side,
I am saltier...

OXYMORONIC

THE SUMMER STORM

the roof’s removed, eyes closed
a splattering of thunder, lightning, rain
no sticks nor stones

let it rain, frenetically...
Spain* could be no sweeter
sounds could be no saltier

upstanding fan...

As time always sped by
You can't read this in the headlines
There won't always be a next time
People still fed by
Carefully spread lies
Through a never ending feud over dead guys
It'll take more than ten tries
Just can't always end fine
Yet why
Does all this continual lead fly
Sad, how...
