It’s for the women in the evening dresses.
It’s for the ladies of extra...

As Seen In the Mirror

As seen in the mirror 

Oh, I’m not done yet, when young I was dense because I could

our hero has arrived

OUR Hero Has ARRIVED
When we were children playing in the street
we had our hero,  usually a rugged actor
perhaps it was Gary Cooper. He had to be tall
walk with a swagger 
To be able to do...

the mist hung heavy over the valley that looked like a different landscape.

The first time I went to sea as a mess-boy, it was on an old ship.

The crew didn´t...

Seafarers Paradise

seafarers’ paradise

seven men drowned 
when a ship sank under gigantic waves
seven weeks later 
they appeared on the Island of Saragossa
where singing shanty is forbidden

but seaweed is served in 7 variations
by a female ship cook, the...

Sea Life

Sea life Remembered 
Tropical night with extras added on like moon and stars.
I stood by the railing dreaming as the ship tilled its way
towards Jamaica, jet black sea but the transient furrow 
the ship made...

I fell through the night under me I could see white crested waves
of the sea and there was little I could do to stop this freefall,
it took 3 minutes to reach the unforgiving...

A Thistle

Odd man out
 He cuts a lonely figure
Only he isn’t.
Avoided learning the language where he lives
To avoid tittle-tattle.
He is a failed poet too.
Rancorous and silent
But does smile and say thank you a thousand times
As is...

I have seen many horizons, some of them...

An Echo from the Sea

a swan in a pond and her crew were dead,
perhaps not at the time, but they are now,
generations of sailors boarding her,...

Friday the Thirteen

Friday the thirteen

Is the day when ancient sailors meet in silent jubilation
on the island of Saragossa, they walk to the island’s highest top
and when the fog lifts, can see strange ships out there
ships full of...

A Sea Dirge

A Sea Dirge

I once saw, where the horizon ends, 
a ship ploughed the sky. 
White tears on pale blue, 
I saw the waiting darkness; 
I knew, before any others,

When Old Sailors Slipp Anchor

When old sailors go 

A seaman sees death as an ocean of tranquillity
 no storm will upset his raft he can safely sleep
Through the ages of time, fish can swim, whales
Blow a rainbow fine, and...

Inert Tarn

An inert tarn


In the pond of pleasant memories, a duckling paddled
like an unwanted thought of a spring wedding in Brussel.
Flat stones skipped on the pond in the night, quacked 
refused to spit out half-chewed toothpicks...
