Best Shipwrecked Poems

I always hated water,
being in the middle of nowhere,
but it was the only way to be with you..

Now,
I'm helpless, my fingers trembling,
lips quivering, eyes full of tears,
as this ship sinks, inch by inch. 
I write what are my last words,
as the stench of fear, 
slowly...

What a misbegotten soul am I, to be lost upon isolation’s paradise,
Marooned on desolation’s tropical island of plenty, except for
Human championship, humanities driftwood a captured cast
Away, from civilization’s socialization, thus I’m alone survivor
Of life’s shipwreck!
Collisions hardship volunteer trapped, upon the coral reef
Beyond stresses everyday reality,...

the shipwrecked sailor
from the North 
lands on land
between the seas
and sees 

nothing but trees

the trees shade him from the sun 
in the sky
the sky provides a medium 
in which the birds 
from the trees
can fly

and the birds 
nested in the trees
on occasion 
provide the sailor
birds...

shipwrecked and saddened
I now swim up to the shore
what a sight I see

the skyline’s lit up
colors shine bright and sparkle
memory is formed

SHIPWRECK  SURVIVOR

He was lost in white surprise
Of drugs and doctors quips
His mind was filled with flapping sails
Of white that guide the ships
To dance among the white capped rocks
In North white nights of June
Bring in the catch to catch the maid
Who’d be his wife so...

My love is a ship with no map that is spiritually lost at sea

Never finding the heart homeland of you that used to always be

Emotion waves crash over my once strong and loving bow

I will find that port of passion this is my seamen’s vow

(8/26/12)

My dreams are like shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea
Covered under seaweed, algae, gravel and rocks
Because at its birth, I didn’t give it enough stock.

A dream is like clay and I am the sculptor
And if I can not see it in my mind ,...

oars deep into raging sea
Neptune awaits us...

Right then it shattered.
Like splintered glass
Veins cracked open.
Heartache leaked out.

Nothing is right,
In those moments of sadness.
Earthquakes are startling
All stability is questioned.

Running seemed like an option.
Pain stealing Time from Distress.
Seeing no way out,
Drowning entirely on air.

Gasping did not help
Tears would not stop the ache.
Torture became me,
Like...

She looked at me calmly opening her narrow lips
Luis the name brought an ache to my wounded ego
In my pride I had ended up shipwrecked in the rehab

...You can make it even when they all say you cant
I swallow my pride and prod,.. 

I like...
