I watch a golden sun slowly rise above the eastern sea and my thoughts naturally drift to
her.
I wonder what she is doing, and if she ever dreams of
me.
A southern breeze gently caresses my skin and fills my lungs with salty sea air. The tide ebbs...

Premium Member If The Dolphins Swim Alone
If I'm not home for Christmas 
And I've lost my heart at war 
Just know that I'll be there with you, my love 
From heaven...for evermore 
By chance I cross the oceans 
And see dolphins swim with glee 
I'll find the brightest star at night...

Evening Swim
The night emits a citronella scent
   From tiki torches topped with living flame;
I swim in circles -- softly speak your name --
   While starlight washes over us, content.

Cicadas still sing secrets to the trees
   Like Summer's heartbeat throbbing in...

Swim the Psy Guy
Lets get lost in our imagination
Let's take a vacation
Let language get lost in translation 
Let your feelings take you to your destination 
We are learning about the art of creation
Trippy visions and unexplainable vibrations deep inside
Only to be comforted while on an uncontrollable and unpredictable...

Swim Or Sink While I Live and Think
7/27/16


Found some inner peace
But the outcome was rather bitter sweet

Out in the woods where the timber creaks
And many critters sleep
Nearby a place where several rivers meet

Realize not all have a bite of dinner to eat
And that sometimes a winner cheats

The news was delivered by speech
And...

cooling ocean swim
seeing bathing suits float by

Premium Member For Stone To Swim
I, cold ... cold as stone ...
But is that not befitting such as I?
Once, merely common, hidden deep in the earth,
Still, my quality made itself known ... my porcelain perfection

Shone in the sun, and I was freed from Terra's grasp ...
Across a great sea I...

Premium Member Last Swim
drifting ...
desultory and dour
tossed by a testament tide of
the ocean, mortal -
weary, waterlogged wood
shed in a storm by some mighty oak
intended of grander things
now bare and barkless
smooth, stiff, sullen atop the sea
all those dark, oily devils
drowned in the depths
beseeching me -
"swallow!"...

Premium Member Swim the Ocean Depths
Take me where the ocean rolls bigger than the pain in my soul.  
Let me lay upon shore sand, hold its grit in my hand while the 
ocean claims ground again, so sure of where it belongs to begin its 
own fated end. ...

Premium Member Swim These Fields
The trees expand right over the water
Bringing awe, perfect brightness to the sound
The free-flowing brook moves swiftly over
Eyes can capture the young feelings abound

I enjoy the emotion that’s around
Loving of nature is proudly encased
Moisture by the emanating fog's sound
Towards a peaceful life that’s interlaced

I will...

Premium Member On a Whim, We Swim
Sitting by the beach one summers day
I turned to my girlfriend to say
Shall we go for a swim
It's cold not too grim
Splish splashing in love do we play

Two bodies now exit the cold blue
Only one of us appears to be true
Now shapely and pert
Her body...

Premium Member Jolted By Twilight
Once again the silvery moon has pilfered the golden sun
Total eclipse is upon me, time has elapsed suspending orange
Twilight’s begun on the orb’s descending softer glow 

Veiled in twilight…                ...
