Long Seascapes Poems

Honey,
please don't even try to get me interested
in your Cranial Ontology Department.
You know how the name itself
puts my brain to sleep.

Yes I noticed your tendency to snore
when I am thinking out loud,
with tender thoughts about...

I arrived, quite by chance, in the Valley of Lissing
‘Twas a land of plenty—Only color was missing

Except, that is, for the magnificent jewels
That gleamed like dazzling, glistening pools

Sapphire blue, emerald-green; what a magical feast for...

Serendipity came into play, when I stumbled upon a gallery,
I was a tourist in a seaside town, shopping midst a vast array
while blinding rays of sun’s reflection, caught my close propinquity
In one window, several seascapes,...

(1 Tim 6: 19)



Look Into The Painting
and What Do You See?
Is It A Destination
Or Is It A Journey?

Is It Where You’ve Been
or Where You’d Like To Go?
Now, Only You Can Say
What Picture(s) To You Shows

And...

The sea paints an ever-changing portrait of itself in water colors.
The images roll through your view finder or your eyes as you watch.
Sometimes it is glassy silky smooth, syrupy, reflective.
You get to paint the sky...

It's a quaint little street, bustling with tourists
Shops selling ice creams and coffees, sandals, and seashells...
People rushing, a bike or two in the street, a car searching for a place to park
A baby cries, and...

The sleeping kangaroo The sleeping kangaroo took me into the abyss of sour grapes.~~~
a wildlife with wildfire turned over by the wildflower.~~~ Seascapes; full of sand that no one dared to understand!~~~~ Drowning underwater in...

From Italy’s Punta Carena Lighthouse painted pompeian red, 
we watch the sun sink into The Tyrrhenian Sea with some dread.
A magnificent beast, stone steps carved from lava taken from Mt. Vesuvius,
the feeling she gives this...

Today is National Poetry Day
So I really must write a Poem
“Oh not again” I hear you say
But it’s mandatory on this special day

At 6.15 the sky still black
I wish the sunshine would come back
But sunrise...

She is whimsical midst-escaping
 blackness & beige stagnation,
reverberant betwixt musicality &
 fictitious paisley fabrications,
recognizes the actuality of her
 enigmatic spirit's frivolity,
well-defined by her quirky 
quintessence serving her far beyond
periods of reflective flourishes, 
has never been...

Aimlessly I meander in expansive barren-landscape
Whipped by the assault of rustling windy gales
Embossing sandy designs resembling ocean waves
Simulating pools of water in mirage of seascapes.

Plateaus upon reddish hills reveal cracked earth
Where decaying mangled-trees in rising...

The darkness seems pensive
   the laughter is gone
The fire has died out
   the party is done
Tonight there were many
   but soon comes the dawn
The good times are over

Love is the nature of the Phoenix, reborn of flame, 
Incinerated down to ashes, raised to live again; 
Soaring skyward from the fire, indolent of dying, 
Spreading wings to rule the ether, immortal, ever flying....

Mile after mile we walk this long road
The years disappear behind us
We struggle to appease those who watch over us
It's in vain my friend, in vain
The course of life can he hard

This tortuous route becomes...

I've scrolled the pictures on my phone
Through racing days since curfew came,
Through restaurants, seascapes, flowering parks,
Like Eden lost beyond reclaim.

A memory came on my feed:
Three years ago, a pub with cats;
Your furry friend; a pint...

Sometimes, whispered voices off in the distance
 echoes calling spirits, hearts, souls of the past
listen to messages without resistance.

Set in the oceans and the seas, land held fast
 inner voices christened in hearts of the...

Do they dream of vast oceans,
of soaring sea-raised mountains
of wave upon wave of rolling
aqueous seascapes?

The little brown ducks
show no such inclination.
They dabble and diddle about
gently pecking at moments
meandering from here to there
on the silky green...

Oceans' august waves, born when time began,
peaceful, serene as they whisper to land.
Caressing sand, a gift of starfish shells,
their music heard, a concerto of swells.

Stormy, jet black seascapes, blustery nights;
Ships and storms eclipsing in epic...

I'm

white fog

layered on

gold-jasmine face of

the orange moon, shimmering with

When the sapphires of earth are etched with orchestral milky beams, smeared with ominous balms, 

I want you to weave...
