Premium Member Clasp of Freedom

caught in an octopus’ arms

rip tide of tentacles

underwater currents

the black ink indelible

syphoned protection

can’t see the circling sharks

in my cocoon of false shadows

a surreal embrace

suction caps in action

in surprise

that it is me who

holds on for dear life


a fairy tale because a dolphin

comes to my rescue

until I glow in the dark

disentangle my fear

make friends with an imagined foe

condense spray into light

dissolve and reflect on

what could have been if I

had not been at rock bottom

not caved in to the pressure


sometimes life sheds its meaning

in dubious squirts

allegories and metaphors

until you dive in murky gloom

and take a tight squeeze

decompress on ascent

accept inklings of surrender

Premium Member Visiting the Amazon

the lush thick Amazon jungle is teeming with life
jaguars are quickly becoming endangered
as is the pink river dolphin and the giant otter
sadly, hunters have taken most of them out

the rivers and streams of the Amazon host millions of species
many of them have not yet been identified by scientists
these animals may not exist any where else in the world.
The Amazon is a unique home for aquatic animals.

the forest canopy resonates with the cries of howler monkeys
answering bird calls come into play in the form of whistles and chirps
was that a zebra finch? It might be, or the whine of insects
The Amazon is an experience you will find nowhere else, ever.

SEISMIC MOTHER INDIAN OCEAN

“Sea wants me to return to 
conch shell from whence I was born 
Here comforted I can curl away from boisterous hurls..” Poet, from poem : Sea Wants Me

~~~~~~ Diaries 

           dreaming waves soothing spuming whales
                        holy grail beyond blue BLUE
no language voice your reflective transformations 
         from ripples to tortuous tsunamis 
             brushing coasts >> Asia’s edge, Madagascar’s spine
                 Africa, Australia, Antarctic 

                    paddles settling into breath of dusk
Ocean of personas holographic oiled, gassed !

you croon about awakened ports, ship  l a n e s 
        along turquoise tongues of poets 
            as we refuge take in your sleepless depths 
                drifting without compass towards 
       unknown horizons blue Blue BLUE~~~~~***
      
 becoming liquid caverns, fragranced coral reefs 
      ocean chasms sprout dolphin verses for India,
China, Indonesia, tube sea urchins chant Beloved ! Anchor Anchor >>>>B E L oVed

                 Beloved ! slack tectonic plates consider their next yawn           ___? Or groan
        shells rumbling 
storms, tidal depths, oysters whisper antidotes
      not to dismiss, peering into Poseidon's mist
                                wizardry seafloor volcanoes 

          rhyme surrender or diving away fetid fears 
           with ancient angling coelacanths dear near
              blue you suffer toxicities as we extract nourishing bounties with vile human hash !

     wilderness of WONDER selflessness we cannot 
             negate, swimming echoed 
                                            eternal Truth

Premium Member Scotland's Dolphin Watch

On holiday on Scotland's Moray Firth
spent time at SDC at Spey bay
that's the Scottish Dolphin centre
whose vision's for there safety from all prey 

Risso's Dolphins born grey seen during summer
love to eat squid identified by scratches white
bottlenose Dolphins really active and boisterous
playful things as they throw fish into flight

Common Dolphins so fast and lithe
having hour glass pattern on their side
white-beaked Dolphins move north as temps rise
identified by white saddle mark as they glide

Atlantic white-sided Dolphins prefer cold waters
but they're see by west coast in summer time
that's just a short profile of these creatures
that swim on Moray's coast in natural rhyme

It's a special moment to see such creatures
which wasn't my blessing while I was there
but these wonderful Dolphins deserve protection
all part of God's creation made for all to share

(Having spent week on holiday recently up in North of Scotland on Moray Firth and highlight to visit the Scottish Dolphin Centre, learning about the great work they do.

Steffy's Pair of Ankle Bells

Hello young man! I surely have heard a lot about you.
I drove here as soon as I heard the news,
And I’ve something to say if you can excuse.
 
God gave a bird in my nest, we call her Steffy.
She grew up fair, slim, silent but was obtuse sometimes.
Nothing made her happier than the pair of ankle bells.
She wore it like Kumudini and let her feet dwell.
Day and night she stomped her feet until the floor sing.
Everything was fine until the tables turned and fate blink,
She lost her mother.
She needed a blanket as these winds blew chill,
A mother in her father and make her life still.
While she was sinking in the ocean like black granules,
I rafted and drown myself in my Jack Daniels.
She wore ankle bells and dance to live again.
But her efforts to take my booze away were all in vein
One day she came from the school looking for her happiness.
And she found nothing but the loneliness again.
For my booze I’d her ankle bells pawn,
Shattered by this, by morning my bird had flown.
 
“Steffy never mentioned about her childhood and now
I know why”, saying this young man made a way for me
So I can see her the last time.
Drenched in sorrow I move towards her coffin,
And touched her feet that where as hard as dolphin.
With the tears coming from my mangled shell,
I slowly kept inside the coffin, her pair of ankle bells…

- Kunal Rathod

A tribute to all dancers. :)

Premium Member The Buccaneer and the Dolphin

There is an adventure to be written 
From my perch where I be sitting 
Two characters my imagination see 
A relationship story to be told late in the day over tea 
There is an honest buccaneer 
Nothing much to fear 
Gaining power sipping Busch beer 
Relaxing in a garden 
Thinking doing some smart-in 
Watching six flags blowing 
Trying to figure out where life was going 
Decided in a split second 
It was time to do a little networking checking 
Headed east 
To visit a peaceful sea monster beast 
When he arrived 
In land to where there were no tides 
Not even any rides 
A crystal placid lake 
Tranquil simplicity quietly told the buccaneer ‘five to take’ 
Suddenly, appearing a kind fellow 
Swimming around very mellow 
Turning the buccaneer attitude fluffy and gel low
Raising a fin “hello” 
Followed his water spout letting one flow 
This made the buccaneer let out a joyful laugh 
Knowing the peaceful creature was enjoying a lifelong bath 
“My dolphin friend
I must ask you to defend 
When is this social distancing going to end?” 
And a fish emerged from the water to perform a flip 
Well trained since it is written in the script 
“My buccaneer friend I know you are above me 
When we travel the seven seas 
We work together 
Dealing with nasty weather 
Clearing up letting the sun come out 
Giving us something to talk about 
My forecast it will be soon 
Allowing us to communicate under an enchanting moon” 
In a friendly way the dolphin mentioned 
Getting the buccaneers attention 
“Land ho 
I must go 
Back to the west 
To do my best 
Eating bread 
Have enough to be fed
Until again we meet
It will be my treat 
A rare steak 
Cooked the way I make” 
Saying what he meant 
Without any resent 
A trip back the buccaneer did 
To a six pack in the garden where he hid 
Until the day 
When all the masks are put away 
Smiling will return 
To faces which once had a look of concern

Right and Wrong

Tears in the tar
carried far
cry the dolphin
to a passing star
...help us…
see the gulls
who now don’t fly
see the whales
who search for sky
coast of destruction
while they all stand by….

experts tweet
executives meet
“fool proof plans”
don’t mean a thing
while seagulls die
without their wings…
drilling
is it really
what you want?

Gulf coast spill
and Ecuador
the Exxon Valdez
the Queensland shore
yet new drills poised
to poison some more
... what are we asking for…

b!tch and preach
don’t mean a thing
if we can’t walk our talk
without convenient rings
tones explode
and we’re to know…
that a saying was penned
and is so true…
“we can’t have the cake
if we sh!t in the stew…”

to make real change…
is to change how we ‘do’.

CHAKRAS BOLD

CHAKRAS BOLD

HE designed root red via 
a laugh so raucous creating 
world wild rumbling random 
rubies rolled ruling red
thunderous winds whirling 
shimmering shocking floods 
Emperor Supreme spearing 
stimulate Mother channels 
birthing babes to cuddle 
sword sheath bloody 
red is my beneath ! 

HE designed my womb 
occult oracle orange  
oceanic openings obliging 
receive that which swims
into the deep to hear
obituaries or observe
creation’s octahedral 
cathedrals octaving to 
behold bold olive and oak
OM is where I rest divine 
operatic orange sublime 

HE designed my navel
with its surrounds golden 
solar yellow mighty ignite
magnetise miracles for
better sight savouring 
power for hours exuding
fires roaring pouring will
enduring strength for miles
and miles adoring gold
burnished bold plexus 
platinum yellow nexus

HE designed my Heart 
full blown DaVinci art
Picasso could not compete 
green moss spring soft
therein pirouetted daisies 
in swirling whorls fading
Mozart’s maddening 
crescendoes crying
veils upon veils to
enticingly whisper
‘Come, bride, come’

HE designed my throat
a singing topaz blue
so true to cobalt hues
anew each teal 
dolphin silent sprang
Truth trout sighed 
sky blue signal smoke
softly sowed sweet
royal kaleidoscopes
herald harmonic hopes  
pop songs wrote 

HE designed forehead a 
deep indigo isle circled 
in vintage fashion
twisted ivy presented 
EYE of all eyes an
empress ringlet ruffle 
to and fro pondering 
pupils so deep diving 
turbulent storms to keep 
in comfort who adores 
my adorings roly holy

On my head Valentine 
Supreme valanced a 
valuable vortexed venture 
vaned a thousand petals
a halo not exposed to 
winged shadows shady
so my wondrous wispy 
wisdoms you may emit 
from this lotus crown fast 
feather ferns fathom to
fit fetish dream atoms 

O ! Lord of Lords !
in red orange gold
green blue indigo
white to sight heights 
I bathe in your colours 
behold arms embrace 
so chaste to post my
poems in coloured 
posies haste so 
comely these chakras 
choralling

Dolphin Dialogues

Dolphin Dialogues

From bright turquoise waters it rose,
With a mischievous grin, the baby bottlenose,
While shifting glances, double laughter filled the air,
Two dolphins play together, as though they were a pair,
Bobbing heads and tails, sending waves that spray,
For all the baby dolphins are geniuses at play,
They jump, one, two, trailing sprays like a plume,
Looking back with the pack, sweeping tails like a broom,
The mid day sun has melted into warm orange heights,
Then packs of threes enjoy the breeze into the moonlight,
Light glistens on the ocean, as a final “V” shaped stripe,
With cascading winds, the twins are in the final blanket of light!

The Dolphin

When I am one in two 
I hesitate 
To let my thoughts withdraw,
For in the safety of that zone
I trust my friend who hears my voice alone.
She may not finish my unsaid words, 
Though sometimes she does,
She may not understand where I was going,
But she always faithfully tries.

The art of being two is a garden,
Where one hand sows, the other grows.
When birth takes place in the womb of the earth,
The hands fold together as one,
Dignified with grace,
Thankful for the blessing.
A trace of the everlasting
Seen in the unquestioned root
Of how devotion 
A good life fulfills.

In my heart there is a chamber
I share with no more then one.
There is but a single key,
Whose power is to open a world
Where a dolphin lies anchored
To an unbound universe.

Who is in possession of this key,
Is responsible.

To fear, flee and drop the chance to enter
Is a choice the unworthy can make.

To jump, 
To leap into that island room,
Where seas, 
Stormy, serene, salty and fresh
Blind the senses and reshape thoughts,
Is to fall into an ocean where a great dolphin 
Lies in shackles.  Time and action
In slow motion 
Must move.
The setting free of divine spirits an art 
Beholden 
Only to she 
The right one.

She who enters this space,
Where private thoughts wordlessly are spoken,
Where flowers grow on the cusps of waves,
Where faith is more then trying,
Where roots grow from a seafloor miles below,
Where stars in the sky whisper secrets,
Laughing with affectionate wonder
At the two below 
Whose only prison
Is the freedom 
To say yes or no
To a risky life 
Both bonded and unbounded,
Is she whose nimble fingers will by love alone,
Sink the chains and set the dolphin free.

Oh so long has he waited for she his chosen one
So long has he dreamt of the journey to come.
Upon his back she wept and held,
And into the open world they ever went 
And never ceased to be.
