Of drugs and...

The able gave it a generously long wink

as if they did not think

resulting in the captain`s sharp stink

While down went the clueless ship

with the rich captain`s poor sheep...

siren's saddest song
a hypnotic lullaby
gulls wade the tide pools...

Bumble bees buzzing hard,
A little girl plays in the yard,

Ivy running amongst the trees,
Don't you smell her disease?

Igloo fit just for two,
Hot chocolate in remembrance of you,

Fourth of July's between the blinds,
Now I can read between the lines,

Siamese cat taken off to jail,
Cadillac car that...

Shipwreck
Sure fingers grip 
Quivering lips caressed by mist
Subversion in an inverse universe 
Obtuse life married to a hopeful mantra
Division of these harsh seas I seek
Of this boat captain I am 
Water erodes nothing but the iron it's made of
Oxidized severely weakened this handcrafted monster I...

A recent visit to an eclectic museum trying to achieve many things in a small space. Unintentionally presented in the style of a lucid dream. Harps through the ages (with audio), a collection of children's toys (with brief notes about who owned them), a human...

I am contaminated,
As is the sea,
My mind is a ship,
Sunken to the deepest parts 
Of my thoughts,
It was a wreckage
That no one has discovered.

Plunging into an ocean of grief,
My lungs swallow the water.
Trying to breathe it in,
I can taste the plastic,
Not the salt.
My thoughts are...

Submerged in the depth of the abyss, 
      motionless nor missed; 
         the ship is submissive to a fathom's organisms. 

   Time has lost all realism.

I boarded as a martyr, 
not to play with scarlet sins
convinced my way was chartered, 
I'd be safe in holy folds
but patient, pregnant umbras came,
their membranes black and blue,
all bred at sea in countless numbers
just to consecrate eternity.

Ripe thunderheads churned buttered skies
and eerie purple dragons...

Shipwreck

Forceful truths
captive to 
glistening diamond
watered ice 
descends
upon her
mothers  
blacked inky
oceans sea's
couch,
uncomplaining
peaceful
sleep
at
last....

Life breaks on a tenuous shoal
Heartaches vex shipwrecked 
soul
Rocky outcrop slashing at 
each, bleached sole
In choppy waters, teetering 
mast o'er limp body doth troll
Peering into foggy abyss, 
undulating currents of angst so 
droll  
Hope wanes as tearful waves 
from calcified funnels roll
Briny mist over resonant...

Foreboding of a tempestuous storm, 
it blackens as it draws near, 
a cumulonimbus in towering form, 
extending to the troposphere, 

So cast off mooring and slacken the line, 
break free while there's still time, 
'cause I'll pull you under if you don't let go, 

Save...

While i sit
In this Damp rotten cave
The cliffs to high
I tried
In vain
Low tide
Lets me see
Outside
For a time
Before breaking waves
Force me 
Inside
How many years
I've spent
In this darkness
This dampness
This rotten cave
No seaman
Should suffer
This torturest sentence
I know i am long dead
As the ships that pass
No longer have sail
My...

Ah! shipmate obsession with blonde pleasures
but treachery’s buried in treasures feminine gold
a flute  a lyre  voices honey dipped in danger
temptation burns Hades flames on sunset waters
sea-devils  those  she-devils  salty tear sweet

ooh songstress sisters  just a taste
a kiss on lips...
