So Long!, Isles of Wunderkeiten! - Apr 26
Your needs unmet and, too, mine equally fulfilled,—I s’pose it’s best to leave this where it stands.—what other course could feel as fair? But deep disturbances in mon esprit, increasingly violent unto me, (as roaring winds and foaming omens) stir tidal wave emotions without compare;— breaking—in terrific fatality. My heart adrift,—stranded soon on your shore,— beats weak, throbs sad sobs, sniffles back such...

Premium Member Sail to the Isles
Rain! A torrent of feeling Crashed down. The sky splits open, The world is a swirling storm. But wait… From the heart of the blackness, A spark, A light, Pushing through. A sail! Through the storm’s fury, Hope glides in. Reaching, reaching Through the waves of rage. The ship, A vessel of promise, Fighting for daylight. Sailing! Cutting through, Across the dark water. Towards a distant horizon, The unseen land… An island of truth. It’s the moment we all...

The Titan of the Ebony Isles
Laid bare far beyond civilizations glare, sank the ever-defiled bowels of a forgotten lair. Nameless, voiceless and visually uncertain, a silhouette hidden behind an ebony curtain, as though it itself is unsure to pertain any what description of its own existential pain. It rots, an inexorable stench permeates the air. Behold the Titan whose...

Spirit of the ancient isles, Of Erin and of Albion, I call to thee, Please come to us, Ancient spirit come to me, I call to thee, In moorland wind, And highland glen, In summer meadow, By Greenwood tree, I recall bluebells in spring, Autumn rains in Irish hills, Long winter nights by firesides, The places where the hidden brook glides, A deer in a forest glade, The Standing Stones...

silent sea from afar glazed in admiral and arctic blue softly shifting to pointilism as it rushes to the rocky shore whilst sky in faded ivory and teal spells prelude to April rain rugged rocks in wild brush strokes like dripping ink of British tan and dark khaki blended in tawny and ecru are luminous glossy gems cascading from celestial source like my streaming teardrops as I...

Spring Break Vi - Spectacular Miami Dinner
By day six I was antsy Stayed in my room all morning I knew this would happen While the glass-shatter of the ocean waves And yelps of surprise from scores of little kids Drifted in Through my opened balcony doors From the beach below Made the mistake of paying attention to my phone And the more I did It seemed The more emails dinged Like an elevator...

Spring Break Vii - Ocean Flowers
The former blond model pouts and primps Swinging her hips Down the splashing catwalk of shoreline Sand caving to her imagined heels Wheeling to her awaiting Israeli mogul Her shoulders set so far back It’s as if she’s walking backwards Puts herself square Between Him And another thin woman Launches a laugh and offers salted peaches Wraps her skinny arm around The other woman’s string bikini of waist Holds...

Spring Break Viii - Birdbrain Training
A big man Stands Roasted pink on the ocean beach Unleashing his gut over his bathing suit Holding a can of Miller Lite Surely a used car salesman in real life Shows off In front of a group of friends Lifts his free hand like the Statute of Liberty To a flock of hungry seagulls That swoop to his pinched fingers He laughs and laughs “Those dumb...
