Deep Diving
I'm way ahead of the darkness that cast shadows & there's no looking back when moving with his light I'm light years away so even if you're walking by I'm still way too out of sight Crystal clear blue sight sees the waves way before they reach gritty shores I pulled anchors & set sail to see what this voyage had...

Premium Member Dumpster-Diving Deity
Dumpster-Diving Deity By Mark D. Stucky Dirty, broken, and forgotten, discarded as worthless junk at garage sales and trash collections, were treasures I have rescued. Where others saw rubbish, the eye of this beholder saw creative potential. After repairing, cleaning, and polishing or painting, the old items were resurrected into new lives and new homes with myself and others. Likewise, the Word-made-flesh dumpster-dove into the bloody wreckage of our world, to...

Mister Jones
If you're sitting comfortably and have locked your mobile 'phones, I'll tell you all a story about Indiana Jones I met him on a wooden bench whilst strolling through a park He was mumbling incoherently about some missing ark At some point back in history, a loaded ark set sail The animals had disembarked according to his tale Instead, some coins...

In superhuman ability or the golden ring sought filling the lungs to capacity into the waves besot Faster and deeper into the depths sleek as if born to this world Seeing what few will ever as around its denizens swirled Diving off an undersea high rise of stones not trodded by men my own breath becoming troubled...

Premium Member Abalone Bed
The channel islands off the coast of California were my home on weekends sailing with my dad on glassy seas, on froth and foam. On Fridays after work he’d head to Catalina on the wind. Sometimes, the trips were fast and rough; sometimes, you thought they’d never end. I’d go below when it got dark; he’d often sail late in the night, drop anchor in...

Premium Member Diving Deep
What is it that keeps me Diving so deep Into a look A word, A feeling, A name For something eternal A connection to what? A past, a present, a future? This dark stagnant soul Starving for energy Drawn to the edge Of the big black abyss That takes you Somewhere Anywhere Someday But for now There's baby smiles Birdsongs Fresh rain Morning coffee And a face That knows yours Even when it's long gone Diving...

A Biden Trump Love Story
The man with launchpad hair glides by Glowing orange in the mountain view A red balloon bobbles by his side The other man holds his diaper high Blows bubbles and waves a magic wand Hand in hand both men dance in circles Skip right off the cliff together Or is it to the left of heaven As the media suggested They kiss the world...

You Newer Know When You Are In Too Deep
It lay gleaming in the window It was the day after payday You newer know when you are in too deep I went inside Looking at a diving watch, a quite good-looking one You newer know when you are in too deep A pretty shop assistant Her smell You newer know when you are in too deep She didn’t smell bad She didn’t use perfume You...

Premium Member Sounding and Diving
SOUNDING & DIVING A man remembers for the rest of his life the details of the boat that hauled him to safety from a faltering ship He remembers, too, the loquacious friend with the comforting words and sincere concern who in time of crisis fashioned an assistance self-serving and false – an exquisite life raft on a very short rope She always said she...
