its roar far too loud...

is it because of a bewitched full moon?
while driving my rusty shaking junk car
I became Don Quixote de la Mancha
mounted on Rozinante holding a lance under the arm aslant,

Of a windswept and tempestuous sea
Beyond the breakwater lay sailors graves
Where shipwrecks in eternal sleep rest free
Once lured upon the rocks they didn’t see
Now ghosts of sailors take their...

Ballade
the indigo night(Inspired by 'Indigo Night' by Thomas W Case)
A thousand thousand stars pierce the indigo night,
but no moon mars the canvas, or lightens velvet strokes.
Half-hearted waves slap at shoreline rocks, like tepid applause.
If the sky is...

A Twenty-First Century, Love Song~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crossing the celestials scintilating skies; deep inside tubular
Chimes lifting in the breeze to these tranquil orisons

An Old Man's SoliloquyWhen you are watching the surging water
rushing to a breakwater by Lake Michigan
under the dusk gathering reddened sky,
and the water flies in the air for a moment
to form the spray and hits the lake’s surface,...

The Dead Tree and the Pierrot—A certain weather forecast—
for he has no home to return
a pierrot painted with snow-white make-up
walks under the moonlight up and down restlessly
under the sky, the pierrot
sleeps all curled up because of the nightly chilling air,
now...

The StormSailing boats, out of the water for the winter, as
though lined up against an impending storm. All
their halliards shaking vigorously, sounding
like birds in flight.
Low tide and the wild geese, further out in...

I venture on down to the harbor, smelling the salt of the sea
Where waiting in anticipation is my sloop the Linda-Marie
In silence she sits while I board her, and cast her lines aside
Like a...

Love Letter From the Soul XlviB,

Harbour of AtlantisThe orange sky
In this Atlante-an world
A sight to see
Much better than words
Breakwater so crafted
As it holds back the sea
In this harbour of Atlantis
All sailors should see
Ships so elegant
Never seen before
As they sail the waves
So far...

Chaos and Calm
At the end of the breakwater
I stand between two extremes.
On one side, the bay's agitations
and hurl of water smashing
against boulders, on the other,

barely rising above a ripple.

The Life of a BreakwaterThe Life of a Breakwater
A walk on the sharp shingle led to where
The dry, smooth surface felt warm to our feet,
The pale grey stonework embedded in the beach.
Those steps so broad and long led down...

Witness StatementAs I watched,
like a lion with its prey
the wave growled and snarled
while crouching, preparing to pounce.
Rushing up the sloping shingle beach,
it reached out and dragged pebbles
down into its lair.
I heard
the rasping raking of the beach...

Monsoon TurbulenceWaves leap over his roof again.
Coconut sentinels lose their heads.
His breakwater breaks, but he won’t
flee to the monsoon refugee camp.
People and the press stand amid
the lightning from cameras. Their
rapture is with the waves...

It’d a bitter childhood like a girl
in penury.
It could defend itself against the molestation
by pests.
It didn’t succumb to the
hot rays.
Now it’s ripe, and its chubby cheeks
are so charming.
It’s a forbidden fruit, but...

Breakwater Marquette, MicheganTechnically, not a sea at all,
Lake Superior churns up its share of sea storms.

But Something HappenedThe breakwater of youth dims again
As I recall that fateful evening
Every gushing tide moaned
Revising the secrecy of a time
When drunken trawlers held me
In my contorted form, lightly assailed
A skirt in tatters, my locks disheveled
Where a...
