Between the silent waves of time, I dive into a sea of dreams

Between the silent waves of time, I dive into a sea of dreams,
where the sensations of being are like drops scattered in the vastness of water.
In each drop of pain, I find a warm image, a balm for the soul,
an infinite bath that embraces the whole, soothing with its gentle touch.
Pain, like a shadow dancing on the edge of a mysterious light,
is lost in the vastness of the ocean, where each wave whispers forgetfulness.
With every passing moment, comfort becomes a subtle call,
a recognition of separation that persists but dissolves in water.
There must be a deeper comfort, a truth hidden beneath the waves,
perhaps it is the understanding that the water of the sea and the water of the wave are one and the same.
In this sea of tranquility, where everything merges into unity,
I find peace that transcends words, in the simple essence of Water.

Dive In

Dive in
Baby there's sharks in the water,
I need to get in the waters,
You know where not getting younger,
Well sink or we'll swim,
Baby are you with me?
Invincible, until you cut me open,
We are strangers, bound by love's cruel illusion...
Would you dive down, plunge into the abyss?
Tread through the wreckage of my shattered bliss?
Could you swim against the current of my fears?
 Guide me back to surface, end my watery years?
 For I am drowning, sinking fast and free,
 Lost in the undertow of memories...
Beneath the waves, I reach for your hand,
 Desperate fingers brushing yours like sand slipping through an hourglass.
 I strain to hear your voice above the din,
 Echoing fades of love left unsaid, swimming in sin.
Sin of how my heart become broken and lost in this dark abyss
Could you dive in and save me before the end..?

Deep Dive

Shades of blue and black
Creatures that remain unseen
Dance around strangely 

Various colors 
Patterns and textures seen
Deep sea new to me

June Bug

Flying crazed into the summer night
Diving, crashing — what a sight!
The people, they shriek; 
Cover they seek,
Slapped in the face by one’s flight.

A High Fivefold Dive

Count your fingers and toes!
It's five that drives betides!
For our minds can't juggle
More than five at once.
Can't grip, grasp sense - six.

How we sense and perceive,
Also comes in five flavors.
Touch, sight, smell, taste, hearing,
Which constrains, contorts our thoughts,
Into believing we know what's
Right, true, all so insightful!

But, why or why five?
Has ego, fear, doubt, desire
Succumbed to fingers and toes?
So we can't go further
Than a high fivefold dive?

Wings to Fins: A Flight from Cruelty, A Dive into Peace

When I was a terrorized, tortured, petrified child,
I would look up-
into the vast, clear blue, empty space,
and wish I were a bird.

To spread my wings, rise beyond reach,
dip through clouds like whispers,
ride the blustery winds,
and after the rain-
chase the ribbons of color
that arc across the sky,
just out of curiosity.

By night, I would perch
on treetops unknown,
watching the silver moon grin
as stars winked their silent promises.

Now, as an adult,
I wish I were a fish.
Not to witness the wicked antics of madmen.
Not to hear the echoes of cruelty.

I would swim deep,
where the sea cradles its secrets,
among coral cathedrals,
through forests of drifting light.

I would not need gills,
I would not need breath—
I would hold it,
until men learn to be kind.

And at night, I would rest
on the ocean bed,
where even the waves whisper softly,
where silence is sacred,
where the world above
cannot follow.

I dive into the cauldron

and in my dream I plunge deep
into a magic cauldron
it is not a pot, vat, or tank
not a vessel of any kind
but a turquois ocean
where blue waves crash over me
I plummet and vanish
down, down to swim with pretty fish
swallowing a sweet elixir
a powerful liquid and potion
magically warming my body
I feel enchantment and fascination
rising to the surface I float
on the vastness of the ocean
under a wide azure sky
I notice sea birds gliding
land must be close
and it is . . . 
an island lush and green appears
swimming to the sandy shore
I am struck by singing bird
a thousand voices loud
filled with an illusion of peace
and tranquility 
I submerge myself into a jungle
and the sounds and scents
the flower blooms and hues of greens
and oh, those birds, divine
I linger there 
until ... I wake in my bed
to dawn birds chirping

The Miraculous Sky Dive

Soon festive time will arrive
To remind us that Christ’s alive
Celebrate the birth
With much joy and mirth
Praise the miraculous sky dive.

Such The Serendipitous Dive Bar

Such the serendipitous dive bar,
a man walked in who was almost missed;
“You are destined” he said “for ‘Rockstar
on tour.’ Go and dust off that setlist.”

“Throw out all those decrepit covers.
I’ve got your back let’s send you soaring!
You may have some with those makeovers
sharing your soul they’ll ALL come running!

Twenty five thousand people will stand 
waiting for you under the limelight;
No need for that tip jar understand? 
You’re already so clean.. stay airtight.”

“Who are you what’s this all about?”
“I saw you play last night.” he replied
Call me a scout caught up in your shout,
with it’s sucker punch my tears you cried.”

Coral Cosmos

Drifting, drifting we float, in azure abysses aglow
Drifting, drifting we glide, amidst aquatic artistry's flow
Drifting, drifting we go, where coral constellations grow

Swimming, swimming we surge, through sapphire seas serene
Swimming, swimming we swirl, where silent symphonies convene
Swimming, swimming we soar, as shimmering schools careen

Deeper, deeper we dive, discovering diverse domains
Deeper, deeper we delve, dreaming in diaphanous depths
Deeper, deeper we descend, dazzled by dappled daylight

Floating, floating we flit, through fragments of fantasies
Floating, floating we flow, as bubbles burst and breathe
Floating, floating we fly, transcending terrestrial ties

Marvelling, marvelling we move, in liquid labyrinths vast
Marvelling, marvelling we muse, on unity unsurpassed
Marvelling, marvelling we merge, with mysteries unsurpassed

Surfacing, surfacing we rise, souls saturated, serene
Surfacing, surfacing we return, beauty-filled, breathless, keen
Surfacing, surfacing we emerge, coral's call echoing between

which mess do I dive into first

which mess do I dive into first?
When I left my schools this year I took it all.
It was easier to bring home to sort.
This was a daunting, horrible energy-stealing task.

I put it off for over a month.
Leaving the boxes out on my porch.
Messing it up, an embarrassment to others.
To me, something I could not yet face.

To avoid this mess, I created another mess
In my art studio, where I was frantically painting
one canvas after another, in order to forget the porch.
And the job that was waiting.

then company decided to visit.
I knew I would be horrified if she saw the porch the way it was.
So I began to sort; most of this went into the trash.
There were twenty-two boxes which I burned

I have gone down from five messes to two messes.
Big messes; one in a bedroom, the other in an office.
The bedroom mess was stealing my energy.
Causing me to feel depressed.

Would I ever be able to face it?
I began facing it yesterday.
Sorted about eight boxes and three bags.
The more I sorted, the easier it became.

Four Limericks

#1 Topless Mermaid

Big bully who teased younger Guy
Said, "dude, go give it a try!
A mermaid, No shells,
at the bottom,!” he yells…
… and boy, he ran head first to dive!

#2. Literal Lot

Literal Lot, temper so hot,
Symbolic speech understands not.
 Then, when someone said,
“Man, you have a hot head!”
he dunked in the pool like a shot!


#3. Swim At Your Own Risk

Swimming in pool was Lou- Lou,
In distress yelled, ”MA! Gotta poo !”
Momma was too late.
So the cowboy, Nate,
stuck in head n'said, “Howdy-DOO!”



#4.Boy Wizard Disappears!

Boy wizard with magical wand,
could open the doors to beyond!
 in the pool one day,
 dropped it with dismay,
One second there, n'then he was gone!

dive bomb dog

He lives with dive bomb dog they warned me
I had no idea what that meant
They shove him off rooftops
Hoping he can get his paws to the gear lever in time

I soon learned what it meant
Are you okay with this? I asked dive bomb dog
I was adjusting his goggles at the time
He licked me in the face, so I guess we are good
