Long Seagrass Poems

Talk to me now...of day break
Of questing light
The sky
Salted with clouds
crimson with a spectrum of a rainbow at dawn
or
peppered with grey and raindrops

Sugared all
with the seeds of a new day

The question lies ahead
eventually we all...

The wind it seems is staying on the ocean whipping up the sea
The waves tumbling to a smart chop on a shelly  sea urchin shore 
As there is no wind from the mainland but...

Beneath Unknown Shores

The story of seahorses is as enchanting as can be, 
they’re a sweet little family living under the sea.
They wear skeletons on the outside for all to see.
One thousand eggs the dear daddy underlies
and gives...

A moment long ago

The farmer said he needed sand for the fenced-in chicken run
Off we went, hooking the cart to our tiny female horse that had
been so sweet a foal, she was named Dokka (doll)
The...

Its a warm winters day.. the sun's shining high in the powder blue sky 
A  wisp  of a  feather cloud faintly visible is the  only cloud  to be seen
Powder blue...

I'm a sinister shell, 
lost in bygone 
deepwaters of
gravity-less 
cerulean tears, 
that saturate 
molten sundrops, 
falling from 
zinc-plated skies, 
as heliophilic snow,
melts frosted 
memories in 
white-washed waves, 
and the moon-
kissed paint of
chamomile dusk 
seeps in
cataclysmic...

Outside the sanctum, clenched teeth, tension, 
    a sense of being spun slowly, in comical ocean drift
    Bobbed cork barely able to rein my orientation.

"Syzygy"

Behind the wet dunes
fringed with seagrass
a blood crescent 
kisses the forehead 
of dreamer traversed
twin aeon syzygy 
barefeet the velvet 
sophia imprints
softly speak 
like words seen
dancing across
the place between 
heaven and earth
mapping deviations
non-standard
calibrating alignment
played forward through...

Late afternoon on a beautiful day.
The ocean called out to me.
A feeling so strong, I had to obey.
There was one place I had to be.

I walked the path to the beach,
the dunes along either side.
The...

To see forever

I left the ship at the industrial part of the island
 my tour of duty was over and took a taxi to the other side
to take a ferry to town.
At the café near...

Fashion shoe treads imprinted on the bisque beach

Concentric wave prints grouping Fine detail pattern soul

Water Everywhere 
A dam burst in Iraq and that`s how it began it rained for months

my feet in sinking sand
then waves crash back in
my happy place, my joy,
my grace

crabs released at dusk
i laugh and run for cover
will i ever dive back in
to swashy sand

i might, i must
regrettable
my trust

but who cares

Through the pane we could react to a future
  Held under the brightest star
  In a sea glaze mass of imperfection.
At the back,
 the harbor clanked and toiled our youth away.
Nights so careless...

I was walking along the beach,
aware of sight and sound.
The landscape had much to teach,
from the sky to the ground.

The sand shifted under my feet,
fine grains, soft and dry.
The kind that make a comfy seat,

The warm island breeze,
happily dances along.
Lifting sand, rustling leaves,
with it's own cheerful song.

Always present, always found,
through every window and door.
Gaily swirling up and down,
with a soft whisper or loud roar.

A strong gust, a gentle touch.
Always...

Deep azure and aquamarine.
Torrents of creatures cascade by.
I absorb this peaceful scene.
A wonderland in my mind's eye.

Floating along this fantasy.
I swim with the fishes here.
Weightless and so wildly free.
Forgetting all my earth-bound fear.

Symmetry that serves...

Small fry

Fingerlings are playing among seagrass in shallow water
they stop when the big shadow of an adult passes overhead
sometimes they play is so exciting they forget 
and end swallowed whole by a fish that knows...

A  Sunny  Winters  day
Cool sun kisses skin.
Pastel coloured ocean
Shuddering salty sea
Pink apricot morning sky
Seaside meditation tape.
Rolling frothing waves
emerge at fast intervals
Driftwood on the shore
Gold sloping sand dune
Giant swirly starfish studs
Seagulls squawking high
Leopard...

Personal ghosts
       I don’t believe in ghost
because it doesn’t make sense
so, my logical brain tells me, but then what value my logic?
There are times when a shadow crosses my...

Nimble fingers glide across the strings
practiced notes turn instruction into muscle memory
dancing, the bow sounds out each note
on the ivory shore, breezy and remote

Clouds drift about, sun warm on the face
shrill cries of gulls, waves...
