A giant jellyfish was born
emitted from a neutron star
once on a whilom cosmic morn
amidst the stellar seas afar.

With tentacles from arcing crest,
medusa-like it hangs on high
cloudscaped with tendrils manifest
in astral sky of Gemini.

Exploding supernova yore—
whose...

On a fine April day, set out in the great cruise ship, Titanic,
Into the pelagic waters of Atlantic, with the weather alluringly sweet.
Plush it was with beaming fellow travelers and amenities astounding.
A journey of great...

These wooden meant to for all season,
Blue painted motored boats beacon,
Us to calm green sea waters,
To sail on and that’s all that matters.

The calm green waters dolphin rides,
Deep inside when the tide...

I heard a dreadful, prophetical terrifying
the terrorist tapping
the portentous plane petrifying
'It's that haunting,' I muttered
Evil says “DEATH TO THE CHRISTIANS”
Lucifer/Satan says “DEATH TO THE CHRISTIANS”
Only the those bad Muslims say “DEATH TO THE CHRISTIANS”
Explode, implode...

Those wooden meant to for all season,
Blue painted motored boats beacon,
Us to calm green sea waters,
To sail on and that’s all that matters.

The calm green waters dolphin rides,
Deep inside when the tide subsides.
Eight pals and...

Form: rhyming couplets

Sandy tracks, still and dormant, lie await for us,
Virgin sands of Malvan beach, its breeze my body salty caress.

Through the grooves of coconut palms swaying tall,
We trudge to...

Thirsting to touch the Spirit of Ages
Rediscover that which I did misplace
A sparrow that fell out of time and space
This gilded door, travelers courageous

Glorious songs, birds escaping cages
How strange to meet your mind and not...

There where coastal waters rage
I spied a rock of ancient age;
a Jurassic specter, ever old
among the waters amid sun’s glow.

I snapped a photo and to its side, I rushed,
to examine this thing that had been...

Do you ever lie down in grass and gaze,
pretend no duties call and let mind float,
play which knight wins the furious battle
somewhere in the wisps above daylong haze?

A lizard morphs into war time schooner.
Raise those...

Place: Malvan beach, konkan, Maharashtra, India

As I   trudge along with fancy and conceit,
Tender soles and bare feet.

Sandy saunter through virgin sands,
Pathways lead up to blue waters of...

Like a huge pride of lions roaring at ease
From a hidden cavern in the distance ,
The disturbed  robust sea diffuses resonance  -
In an infinite expanse of sonorous breeze

The heavy,  grey clouds gathering...

One may see puffins and parrots
any hour of the week
both birds bear a big colourful beak
the former pelagic feed on fish
and live in large colonies on coastal cliffs
tho' monogamous collectively breed as a bunch
but with...

lovely, is love
wings of a dove

kisses feathery as snowflakes
like heavenly sent sweet magic
lost in an ocean pelagic
ethereal until daybreaks

like heavenly sent sweet magic
but, there are days when the heart aches
and there are days when...

The macabre’s amusing at times,
makes for off-beat, hilarious rhymes.
To my wife they’re not funny;
she wants cute little bunnies
and not ones that are strangled by mimes.

She says, “Why must the animals die?
And that one with the...

Blue carpet waves,
White foam gyrates.
Cool breeze blowing,
Beaming sun growing.

Low flying crows,
Fishing nets throws,
Slumbering dog packs,
Dry nets on wooden racks.

Lone fisherman rows,
Sea gulls numbers grows,
Around water dripping nets,
Pelagic fish they...

Beneath a veneer of  sapphire waves,
Rays of sunshine make fingers of light,
Ethereal, over crusty,  pink coral forms.
Atolls that rise from stark white sand, create
Tunnels for twining eels and twinkling starfish
Hues of rainbow anemones...

The early morning hours
 were dark and gray
 people hurried from homes without power
 to some refuge far away;
tears shed profuse and tragic
 freedom is a reality that never seems to last
 despite their efforts...

Blue carpet waves,
White foam gyrates.
Cool breeze blowing,
Beaming sun growing.

Low flying crows,
Fishing nets throws,
Slumbering dog packs,
Dry nets on wooden racks.

Lone fisherman rows,
Sea gulls numbers grows,
Around water dripping nets,
Pelagic fish they ferret.

Silver silky waves,
Low flying eagles braves,
Sand...

Death greets those who dive too 
deep in dark pelagic hell; tossed 
from jagged rock to vicious coral,
she stays the corpse’s dance,  each
impact destroys a little more; her slow 
explosion attracting hungry fish
