"Freedom Sees - Part 2"

Platoon magic legion
Hammerheads
beautiful, graceful escorts
leading the way
hear their call, silently swishing
dorsal fins
cutting through the 
fall-out murky pall,
they need no 
blood and guts Burley, 
their seas are pristine
watch their mute scene
unfurling, they...

I have silently 
heard through 
tropical torrents 
and surpassed 
a million miles 
of the milky seas, 
away from 
mint-marine 
silhouettes of my
utopian wonderland, 
as strawberry 
ripples and 
coconut-scented 
musings called...

The channel islands off the coast
of California were my home
on weekends sailing with my dad
on glassy seas, on froth and foam.

On Fridays after work he’d head
to Catalina on the wind.

As we walked the warm air broke and swept over me like waves.
I puffed on a sweet cigar 
passing the seafood placed down by the marina.
“we went the wrong way.”
The boats locked behind a cage...

To the ancient Norse he was Kraken
With a mean inclination,
And the Greeks called him Gorgon
With the same reputation.
But as monster of myths
He's been wrongly miscast,
So I'm here to shed new light
On this poor creature, at...

Each half breath has a point of cessation
Yet the voids differentiated by intuitive intention
The beginning of exhalation return to space
Whilst commencement of inhalation divine grace

Geometrically we may assign lungs to the Anahata
Breath flow from nose...

he won't step down from his position
to allow someone new
to be what he had stride to be
"best and known as best!"

A capricious old wizard, with fastidious old cat
In an idyllic cottage, wears a manta and hat
Gulps an insidious potion, of chrysalises crushed
With dragon jam, root pulp, and magical dust
A rhapsodic litany, of unintelligible, verse
In evanescent...

FATHER & SON

The indoor soccer arena

of the western approach
to the international airport
The still-clever father
made a snide macho comment
to the gold ear-ringed teenager
with the thick-muscled legs
“Uh huh”, said the kid
mentally reducing...

Gaia’s womb the ocean,
births her children with aqua love.
Mammalian heartbeats intermingle with
The sound of the tides;
harmonic echoes are recorded in 
every abandoned shell.

The wisdom of those who traverse
this entire world amid the waterways…
immense and timeless;...
