Brisk breezes quicken and rustle.
Bristlecone pines ever sway slowly,
while pockets of air blush...

The Battle of Britain I
As aspiration seeks to take its toll,
your mass flotilla salvaged sons of war.

though Satan’s army rallies at your door.
Your youthful fit have vowed to serve the Crown.
They muster...

Midway III
Then through the mist, the Sun was set ablaze
and all beneath its realm fell to their knees.

as mortal ashes wafted through the breeze.
Her wreckage wailed in bellowing...

Battle for the Atlantic II
With lone intent, all freedom it will wrest
if obstinance you let these wolves deny.
As tonnage sinks beneath the torrid crest
your struggles for survival magnify.
Each flailing ship that ferries surety
is fodder for the fathoms of abyss.

Nuts In the Soup
"Nuts are in the soup!"
That's what I've heard: not so absurd
Some add a pinch of spice now and then,
from wit and the sharpened nib of a pen.
Nutty little writers who like to fill
the soup...

Reparations
A man's first right is to his own country:
That place by choice that was his father's hope
Before. His breathing make its history,
Its death is his shackles, his dream its scope.
This was the first discord jarring...

The Ballad of Edward Kenway
Edward Kenway was a pirate
He sailed the Spanish Main
He plundered British merchant ships
And the Galleons of Spain
Once he was a farmer
He walked behind the plough
But now he ploughed the oceans deep
He was a pirate now
He...

Onslaught
The crowbar rattled at the clattering noise,
In the yard, against the hulls and hoys,
A Cloud of tar smoke rose through the green,
Large oil slicks floating on the lake sheen.
Inconsistent hills throughout the landscape,
The sunlight was...

The Perfect Day
Unpacked by dawn, the newborn day lies still,
it takes it's first breath, breeze disturbs the haze,
faint sunlight cuts a path from up the hill,
soaks out the nightly shades of blues and greys.
Daylight reveals the boats...

Koala Bay, Jervis Bay, Australia
At dawn the bay bed glows peachy yellow.
The waters above blue-green and gleaming.
Further out a grey shroud of ripples entraps the yachts
with lace nets en-snaring a flock of hulls.
Yet farther out still, the sea...

Their little graveyard by the sea, where
Sands bleached white, slide
Across the cemetery floor
Drifting like pale capsized hulls
Floating between tablets marking
The long forgotten dead
It was here, fifty two years...

a fingers breath from my hem,
he stole my affection
in sheared moments of Ecstasy

We came together
an eclectic mix,
liquid methane and fire,
once we...
