Best Tropic Poems

Tropic Sea

Wet and wild,
greedy waves lick beaches...
washing long lost secrets back to shore 

Aquamarine warm waters kissing deep blue sky
decorated with smiling islands in the sun

Tranquil haven or raging tempest
dead calm before a storm…

Fiji eve, afire ...

palms blow kisses to the moon -

jealous coral sky

O how I pine your lips to feel again
To sip the honeyed fountain of your youth
And let your milk wash me afresh like rain
Cuddling to its breast the wet blistered root
I want to disrobe you like night the moon
And let the drums of our drunken...

Sweet island of the tropic moon
Who could paint a dream as this
Believe a sky could be so blue
Or know a place, like this exists
Where gold reflects the ocean sky,
Sweet island of the tropic moon 
We come to you where breezes kiss
And passion fills a heart...

as if the great expanse collapsed
eclipsing hearthstones
amid the cordillera
where sun begins to beg
her true name

life stops alongside the eucalyptus 
and the words warm
dripping honey to the south

shadows dance 
and straight below we stand
just letting go
past particles
in the winds of time
in the tropic of us

we thrust...

With visual field microscopic
Some utterly blind and myopic
Consume to the max
As a luxury tax 
On those needing help philanthropic...

When the bronze-skinned, 
silver tongue surfer
came smoothly yacht cruising
at year’s end
All the island ladies,
at the cabana house welcoming party,
mosh pit fell in ... 
Fell in love 
with the cosmopolitan thought
of permanently leaving
Loose their dinghy life from the slow-pace wharf,
and deep dive go fast
romantic adventure sailing
Isle...

"Tropic of Cancer"



Follow the silent trail
words like stars shine
coded on straight lines 
blind to all

like diamonds 
they are invisible
the keys 
written and held

Winter stars puzzle the sky
Northward a cold frontier 
waits beckoning
Capricorn’s Summer's dream

Escape Hell South
Where Heaven is a blue sky 
golden beach purgatory
littered with...

I catch myself with thoughts of us 
standing by the shore
Feeling so content with life
and never wanting more
Battles of our former lives
grow distantly behind 
With gentle waves 
of tranquil peace
as all that's left to find

I look into those crystal eyes
of tropic ocean blue
Finding myself thankful
I...

Friendly palm tree waves
back to passing ocean surf
from its island home

Breathe in sweet scents of tuberose
And let fine mist caress your face,
Dive deep into aqua waters—
Become enchanted with this place.

When taken ill beyond the Gods
(For their hunger feels so endless)

I saw their hillsides-
Grazed to the ground

I found no witness....

When my heart's bell does toll, 
it worship-chimes for my soul. 
I excite while driving to align 
with sights God made divine.
Under tropic sun glow, I walk 
where divine defined waves roll.
Sitting in morn-soft sand, I give 
God thanks for His beach design.
As waves tease,...

Majestic summits
Concealed protectively in 
Foggy clouds embrace,
Captivates wandering eyes,
On a tropic summer day...

I'm here surrounded
for what should be normal
the cup of aromatic coffee
the old comfortable chair
a notebook tired of writing
a fruit bowl full of delights
and a ceramic vase
where an insistent succulent
challenges her own longevity
everything seems prosaic
everything looks normal
in this autumn afternoon
outside the trees
and more trees
endless trees
life in...
