Best Sea Star Poems

Awash by ripple of night's waves
the glittering starfish drifts
like an open flower on clay--
its plump flesh, a reddish lip
enchanting two lovers' soft kiss
through a glide of dusky sand.

The chilly North Pacific:
we build a fire for the moths,
a lamplight. Their wings, angry
with flames. Sky: dim and small.

In your standing stillness, you are
an old clock
that has run out of chimes.
The small hours of the past,
a fossil, a nerve. I hand you a flask.

You say:...

She drifted on black starlit glass
beneath the full moon bright
captivated by the beauty of
the tranquil, lovely light
floating on the gentle waves
the stars kissed her goodnight
and rocked into her deepest dreams
she floated out of sight

adorning apricot
  stardust silently
    enveloped
     turbulent waves, 
gingerly dappling 
   each ingrained
      bit of sea glass 
whence the tides
        were stilled,

Day has sunk and the old fisherman, like a well-trained athlete, rows his rugged boat.
Defying starry night's turbulent waves,
It cruises seaward, smooth and swift, like an agile proud fish.

Then, into his net a shooting star drops; hauls he a thousand delicate, bright starfish.
Guided by remaining...

GREETINGS TO THE LODESTAR

Vain of metal ore that smiled 
It is by you am steered  
    Guiding my principle in direction 
    You shine like magnetized
    Iron ore

He sat there on the edge
of the rocks above the shore
lost there in his thoughts
like many times before
he noticed how the water
seemed to glow with life
and for a couple moments he
forgot about his strife
the light came from the moon
high up in the sky
and he longed...

Soft And Warm Like The Quiet Storm
I Let Myself Go
I Let Myself Go
With Nothing To Hold On To
Not Even Gravity
I Let Myself Go
And Fall Deep Into A Fantasy
I Close My Eyes
Live In My Sleep
This Feeling Is A Dream
The Pain Of Waking Up Hurts So Deep

I fell in love by the sea 
My heart was swept away
Only to be set free

Riding waves
And raging torrents
Funny how life behaves

Caught in a net of wonder
I search the stars 
And my heart grows fonder

You kissed me in the moonlight
You held me close
Our love illuminated...

willowy billowy daydreams 
whirlwind of playful fantasy
worshiping mystical moonbeams
waywardly sailing on a sea

warm starry midnight serenades 
welcoming beckoning mermaids
whispering invite warm extremes

Listen closely and quietly on this starry filled night 
and you can hear the sea waves. 
Beating against the beach in rhythmic time 
stirring up the pebbles on the sea floor 
to dance the jingle and the jangle to the tune of the sea....

Long wisps of fog rise
into thin and vanishing clouds;
from the East an aromatic wind
scatters the flattened and broken-shells-covered-sand
as dampness enters the bones and makes these feet sweat,
still my deep footprints are seen below the boardwalk where I sat.


Lovers hold hands 
and seek out their friend...
