Premium Member Tide

Storm a brewing upon the horizon,
With the Darkening of the sun
Clouds touching the sea
What next in my quest to be free
Lowering of my sail
The wind starts to wail
Coming at me
The sea
Waves so very tall
A mountain of waterery wall
For a moment my heart starts to stall.
 I shiver at this sight
Turning day into night
Put my bow to the wind
I shall not bend
Face this sea monster coming at me
May end up at the bottom of the sea
Don't really care
Doesn't dare
Davy Jones
May get my bones
But I feel no fear
As this monster draws near 
Lifting me so high
Seems my sailboat can fly
Salt stinging my eye
Boat jumping from wave to wave
Dancing above the watery grave
I scream with the storms  passion 
Which after a fashion 
I was it, it was I 
One and the same
In the sailing game
Fearlessly  we battle ,a test of wills
 A test of skills
Water slamming me back
I slip in and the wave I attack 
It seems much taller than I 
Once again I'm lifted toward the sky
Floating a moment in the stormy air
We were a great pair
The storm and i
Was saddened as it passed on by
Trembling and shaking
The sun starts waking
Baking
The chill from my soul
Survival was my goal
 drying the skies
The wind dies
My soul flies 
What a ride
The thrill I cannot hide
Riding the tide
Sea is where I roam
It's home sweet home

Yo-Ho-Ho And Shiver Me Timbers

Shiver me timbers and loosen me limbers
I sail me sloop until it lin’ers
And drop anchor in t’  nearest lagoon
Bury me treasure chest full o’ doubloons 
Then set off durin  t’ next full moon

~

“Aarrr!” I’m happy go-lucky sea piratin  Cap’n
With a short wooden leg and a limp, earrin’s, and rin’s on every fin’er
Metal silver hook for me left hand
Me cutlass, dagger,  and dirk o’  me belt
Not a landlubber at all

~

Not a thin’ scares me that stand in my way
Especially when I’ve had a few grogs in me belly
Aye, I carry around  me Ahoy! bucko Polly me  parrot on me shoulder
That keeps me on t’ straight and narrow

~

They call me a barbaric and thief I don’t know why
A great insult t’ me,  I just laugh into my handkerchief  in disbelief

~
	
Don’t insult me temper because it  gets carried away
Sarcasm, rudeness, and insults I cannot help
When swashbucklin’ scallywag get in me way

~

Me hearty weigh anchor
Or I’ll give ye a taste o’ walkin  t’  plank  
 T’ Davy Jones’ Locker you will go and feed t’  fishes for mutinous
Dead men tell no tales!

~

Aye, aye, mates, pull anchor and set sail
I be Silver Hook a feared pirate that sails t’ seas

Premium Member Sea

Fascinated by the dark waters—what lies beneath the harried waves? Cold clings with liquid silk and seaweed; her tail impresses, her flippant lips drown sailors. They smile for the camera, teeth white as their sails. It’s more of a scream—they thought the red-haired beast was a dream. They should not have let her flop onto the deck, nor have admired her ample chest. Their curiosity was hers for the taking. …and she took them, one by one, for a ride. They forgot what that saying meant. It was a ride no one comes back from. Sometimes the crimson terror would throw a few corpses onto a ship to heighten the terror. Her flipper sounded like a glass heel tapping on the planks—the thunderous point of stilettos, slicing like glass through the sailor’s veins. Bloodlust of the sea, sensuous; murderous; cacophonous. 

What their eyes saw, their hands could not touch. Their souls at the bottom of Davy Jones Locker; their flesh, fodder of a frenzy of unfriendly fish with vainglorious locks, deeply-defined curves and thrashing tails. Dead men tell no tales, though legends give fair warning.

Someone escaped or heard the dreadful sound from afar; perhaps saw something they imagined to be far-fetched; and as a ghost ship was found with the unholy stench of an unwashed Delilah, the foghorn of shipmates passed on their deeply disturbing stories.

Just an innocent Ariel at play in his sea-blue eyes. Oh yes, she lost her voice…a voice that could not carry a carrion-tune. A caricature with no compass - men lose their way when they prattle fairy tales.

Premium Member Flight of the Fokkers

[An old joke from longer ago than I care to believe]

The wizened war vet raised his fist in distress
Them Fokkers, he said, they kept coming
Each Fokker that came was as bad as the rest
The sky, full of Fokkers, was humming

First there’s one Fokker and then one more Fokker
Them Fokkers was everywhere
But one silly Fokker met Davy Jones locker
And crashed in the sea over there

The reporter then turned to the viewers
And fearing foul language complaints 
Advised them that ‘Fokker’ ain't swearing
The Fokker’s were old fighter planes 

And Fokkers like every old war plane
We’re flown by the pilots own wits
The vet said a Fokker was as you explain
But them Fokkers was Meschersmidts

Premium Member SS Southern Cross - the Old Lady of the Sea

   Built in a Belfast shipyard
 for Shaw Savill ‘n Albion Line.
   On her flagstaff wind ‘n lee
 flew the Southern Cross ensign,
   down a slipway to the sea
 launched afar by Her Majesty

   Behold her pale eau de nil
 green ‘n painted hull of grey,
   at twenty knots her rate
 twenty thousand tons aweigh.
   On the seas a ship of fate
 the world to circumnavigate

   Yon the Empire far ‘n wide
 from Southampton to Trinidad.
   Where from ship to shore
 off I waved goodbye as a lad,
   till in the distance I saw
 my home to be nevermore

   Smoke from her aft funnel
 into a big Caribbean sky blew,
   then set a course westerly
 by merchant captain ‘n crew.
   And to each port ‘n quay
 across the ocean carried me

   I remember gazing in awe
 up ‘n down her length ‘n beam,
   at the mighty waves below
 and how sea ‘n ship did gleam.
   In canal gates under tow
 winding our way lazy ‘n slow

   Crossing the equator I saw
 Davy Jones ‘n King Neptune
   rising up out of the deep
‘neath a high December moon.
   Till in safe passage ‘n keep
 back to the depths they leap

   Out on Oceania as a boy
 in the lido deck pool I did dive.
   The Southern Cross ‘n me
 would our long voyage arrive,
   on in all her hope ‘n glory
 the grand old lady of the sea

   On final Far East voyage
 would alas be her swan song,
   beached on a tidal seaway
 sold ‘n scrapped in Chittagong.
   A line flagship in her day
 stripped bare where she lay

Styrofoam

1/27/21
"Styrofoam"

It's not hormones, testosterone
Or Pheromones
I was at the crossroads
Moved towards what was familiar or unknown
Never did any good to postpone
I can really feel it in my bones
Nearby all these Madrones

Time has shown
In and out of all these biomes
The elements shaping the land and stones

Hung up the phone
Then came the dial tone

I've sinned, and I've atoned
I regressed, and I have grown

Sippin’ out of Styrofoam
In and out of different tidal zones
Had to get it on my own

It almost always was homicide if their was a broken Hyoid bone
It was always kept a secret or widely known

They're really focused on drones
And clones
Yet they also want to continually probe
And spy on the entire globe

Was close to the cosmos
As well as the locker of Davy Jones

From here to Nome
Always been a rogue
After the motherlode
Sometimes I was on paved streets, or often I was on dirt roads
Staying composed
Solving problems with or without the use of codes
Before the doors are closed
Meanwhile, people still having continual episodes

Got it done smoothly, or I just bulldozed
Those
That attempted to oppose
And stick their nose
Into my business, that's a no
Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe
Catch a tiger by the toe
Took them out with the undertow
Quickly they sunk below

Or by going blow for blow
A.K.A. Toe to toe
The same could be said for many, including so and so

The flesh and organs beginning to decompose
Food for insects, vultures and crows

It's not a hoax
Did the least or I did the most
Put it out there or was a ghost
Got it done easily or cut it close
It's gross
Far too often was comatose
Because I overdosed
Couldn't stop myself, or follow advice from my folks
I know, what a joke
Even though I've been woke
I couldn't stop my addictions, or say "Adios!"

More than just words being wrote
It'd do you some good to take note
Humans at each others throats
Quick to gloat
And to go right for the throat
Especially over your affiliation and how you vote

I either did or didn't have a rain coat
Humans quick to find a scapegoat
We either were or were not in the same boat

Stood sturdy like an oak
Behind continual clouds of smoke
And enough alcohol to make a moat
So that a boat could stay afloat

Premium Member Relics of the Blue

They boarded the mighty ship on a fateful trip
 And waved to those ashore who craved a last goodbye,
 The ship set sail without fail as champagne they did sip
 The vessel's might was their delight, what could go awry?

 They had it all, the sea was theirs they had no fears
 They ate caviar from the bar and dined in grand style
 Clinked their glasses with the lasses as they shouted 'cheers'
 But soon they'd find that fate's unkind, and full of guile

 They didn't think the ship could sink
 With pomp and pride they took the ride
 But mightier than it was the iceberg they hit
 'Twas then they knew that out of the blue they'd be captives of the tide

 With lifeboats few they got a clue
 That Davy Jones would keep their bones,
 In the sea, they would forever be, relics of the blue
 And people wailed for the ship that failed, how mighty were its groans

Premium Member Forewarning of Dawn

A bird that dips and wavers
Over lone waters round,
Then with a cry that quavers
Is gone—a spectral sound.
— Cale Young Rice

Sopping wet, the organ floats,
flounders in one of several boats,

severed from the blue-green sea,
nevermore to scurry into the lee.

Hearty laughs, ebb and flow, on wind
oblivious to a malevolent whirlwind.

Cupid’s arrow, a bullseye contortion,
took from mate, a violent proportion.

The dawn had beat its forewarning,
hungry reds and yellows of morning.

His wild-eyed grin at heart’s wild pulse,
in his manhandle, a violent repulse.

Sin does course through shattered veins,
but in its course of port and starboard brains,

he doesn’t reflect upon the seagull’s call,
nor see the whirlpool snare mixed with gall.

The salty-scent of frangipani burns the hairs
inside his flaring nostrils. A curt whisper, dares

an invitation to Davy Jones locker, with sore siren
exhalation, the iceberg chill of Cale Young Rice.

Her bloody valentine feels the squeeze, not with
torn flesh, but a spectre’s hand with calamitous pith

inside his chamber walls ; sans lee. Sharks
circling, inhaling the scent of brute; wave arcs

all about this fanfare, with the strumpet’s reprisal.
All her shipmate’s innards fight for his survival.

In his case, Cupid’s arrows sting like a frozen sea.
The ghostly wisp enjoys the massage-latchkey,

slowly intensifying, as his loins had torn her apart.
She has a heart; she had a heart; boat’s sweetheart

of flowing ringlets, tossed to and fro, sinking
where she thought she’d found love, blinking

back an ocean of tumultuous tears, afraid, broken.
The sea accepted a plea bargain, with him as a token.

She’d live from ship to ship, shining with brilliance,
protecting, like a lighthouse - a harbor’s resilience.

Back on deck, he’s tossed overboard; Cupid decides.
Into seaweed of sharks, who prolong eating, he slides.

Premium Member Yo Ho Ho

Well, yo ho ho and it is mutiny for us.
Toss the captain overboard, nothing to discuss.
We’ve had enough of orders, break the chain of commands.
If he wants to argue, there’s the back of your hand.
Sailing on the seven, hoist the sails ’gainst the wind.
We don’t need to navigate the coast.
Open up the bottles, drink the whiskey and gin.
To the health of Davy Jones we’ll toast.

Well, yo ho ho and now the treasure is all ours.
Gold and silver shining, can’t you feel the power?
The world is ours, me matey! Take it by the throat!
Nothing more can harm us, as long as we can float.
Sailing on the seven, the wind against our backs.
We don’t need to fear the captain’s ghost.
Cannon on our starboard! We’ll never pay the tax!
To the health of Davy Jones we’ll toast.

Well, yo ho ho, me matey, pass the bottle on.
We’ll take our turns at sipping ‘til it all is gone.
Feel the bitter burning as it slides down your throat
Then toss it on the fire so we can load the boats.
Sailing on the seven with chanteys on our lips,
Stay ahead of all the Navy hosts!
Keep a wary eye out for some rich merchants’ ships.
To the health of Davy Jones we’ll toast.
