Best Seafarer Poems

Seafarer sat by the turbulent sea
Watching the offing and watching the waves;
Smiling with small teeth, the color of tea
Recalling journeys and the friends he’d made;

Photographs earmarking the good ole days,
The mariner clutched inside his hands
He long for the billows, brine, and the glade -
To brave the waves on his boat once again

“Clarice and I, sailed...

Once a Seafarer 
I was thinking of my life as a seafarer endless
voyaging like a gipsy of the seas.
It was the best of times because I was young
but was also the worst of times being without
a woman for months on end. 
I was a lousy seaman really didn`t blend in 
Preferred reading in my cabin...

Like an endless curve  I have reached the bend
Of my destiny to an atmosphere,
Above the horizon, my trails ascend.

Creatures of water swerving their tails,
Galleons roll, cruises of Atlantis
Along the foams, brave the olden fables.

The evening cloudline, glimmering so bright,
My final pilgrimage, the blackest  sea;
To the ledge of  the isle, a glorious light.

Ex. Seafarer 
As a former seafarer, I have been to most countries that 
have a harbour, but I have not been to Nepal or Tibet and

heard John Wayne speaking Japanese, I laughed...

Chasing the wayward wind
I see its footprints
on the waves of the sea,
I rope in these wild waves 
and tethered them to the shore.

Unable to break free
they lash and squirm
like the fish out of water
and roar like the caged lion.

The sea whines and whimpers
as I contained its spirit
like the genie in a bottle.

Oh, I now sit...

I was sailing alone
in the stormy sea of life,
Sullen thoughts invaded my mind
Dark waves lashed my heart
Until you came aboard,
lost at sea, my soul found the shore.

In our quiet refuge, a wild clamor rings,
Waves relentlessly pound our fragile haven's wings.
 
A hidden portal, glimpsed through faith's bright gleam,
Offers escape from this tumultuous, watery dream.
 
We are shepherds adrift on the sea's vast expanse,
Some clinging to icy peaks, others finding warmth in the dance
Of currents below.  Our flock, a fragile hope,...
