Best Tides Poems

"Over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar." Lord Byron

Dawn brushes sapphire skies
Dawn summons turquoise tides
Tides flow upon golden shores
Tides wash away sandcastles
Sandcastles that brought joy
Sandcastles built on dreams
Dreams bring hope for tomorrow
Dreams are fragile butterflies
Butterflies symbolise evolution
Butterflies love to migrate
Migrate towards...

The Tides of Our Passion

The tides of our passion cry out my love, 
As we seek to define who we are now.
To live this special life gives us that how,
And when and why we must seek God above!
Our souls blend one perfect constant of love,...

old familiar songs
on wings of time
tug at my heart strings

transporting me through
perilous dimensions
where moonlight lingers

and your voice
carries the weight
of the world

Waking up, in a light gray four poster bed.
With flowers and ribbons, painted
on the ceiling above my head.
.
Satin slippers and a robe, so soft.
A young girl, I feel when I do recall......
Those decades ago, those tender memories 
that are never lost!
.
The walk down the soft,...

lazily the waves

lap the pebbles on the beach

a crab scurries by

to burrow beneath wet sand

a prisoner of the tides...

Rampage rumbling water roars dig the shores
Heavy hard they grapple trees and humans
Tumbling turner tides glide no one adore
Frightened humans, they run! Run and run fast!
As they desire to survive ever more
From angry nimbus clouds darkening span
To merry-go-round waves muddy wet skirt
Gnawing so hungry to...

War crime trials had come and gone
And Nuremberg became old news
But there were some who would escape
They packed their bags, with no remorse
Changing names, and hid away
They had shamed the course of history

They had slithered through the cracks of time
from the lowest form of man's...

Before me lies the ocean, with its shore,
   maintaining varied limits day and night;
at times, beyond its border, reaching more
   than ever, thrashing out in wild delight.

At other times, so docile, ebbing low
   with timid ripples that creep on...

For what shall come of morning tides


Pure heart so fine in charcoal skies
of breath my mind does see
This captured feeling locked inside,
alone as to believe

For what shall come of morning tides
along the wish filled shore
In seashell decorated time,
to want a little more

What sent this ship...

Storm swept seas assault the shore
Lashing out with rage unsated
Attacking with the wrath of Thor
Oceans temper unabated

Reaching out with icy hands
Fists of foam grip granite walls
Succeeding not with it's demands
Retreats to Poseidon's halls...

tides flow in then out
     waves appear then disappear
          rhythms of nature...

Comatose agonies of turbulent currents, in breathless shivers of deepest anxieties amidst high tides in my soul....

Exploring nothing.
Empty space.
Being filled by words of no meaning
Just a wandering pen beautifully completing the emptiness
Spilling from a querying heart
A wandering mind
Full of seagulls and tinkling bells
Next to the crashing waves of foamy thought..
Lapping slowly onto the mind
In the present moment

What is next?
As the moon...
