now the river runs straight without this river bend,
where the water is still and the reeds do grow strong.

A luxurious giant ship that they built to last
An Olympic class liner of the White Star Line
No expense was spared; she was grand and so fine.

A big heart in the sand

Beyond the weary water line
alone in quelled explore
These footprints lead uncharted miles, 
the first of many more

To wander in a time once known,
reflective worries gleam
In sand dune wishes washed away

Again, just you and me

Beyond the sand and water line
alone in quelled explore
These footprints lead uncharted miles,
the first of many more

To wander in a time once known,
reflective worries gleam
In sand dune wishes washed away
and thoughts...

One morning Dee woke to find the most unusual toad
Perched o’er the water line in the “bowels” of her commode
She put on gloves and sought to catch the elusive creature

My main line muse ran away on this sunny this day –
 My confuser got confused - rhythms upside down -

Word Play Lines

My main line muse stepped over a line –
My confuser got confused off line
Rhymes on strike, my pen went dry in a stiff hard line
Thesaurus got clean away flying through the pipeline.

I put to words from pen and keyboard what matters most in time
and seek a buoy a float some flotsam dejected towards the storm

Foaming bubbles on the sand
As salty water reaches land
The thunderous sound of waves crashing
Children joyfully laughing and splashing

It is another Aussie Summer on the beach
Work and stress, way out of reach
Time to relax, soak up...

The night draws nigh, stars are gone,
Heavy clouds looming, have darkened the sun,
Making it tough to paddle this boat,
Along rough waters barely keeping it afloat.

Then He comes, waltzing on the sea,
As if the winds just...

As I gaze upon the ocean 
Blue reflects on the  water and in the sky
The horizon only distinguishable by it's hue
Standing upon a bluff on a cliff above the rough
I gaze upon the ocean...

The alarm sounds and calls their names,
To stand and fight the smoke and flames,
They don their heavy turnout gear,
To meet the flames and face their fear,

Driving trucks with red lights glaring, 
Into city streets with...

Drenched in the glow of sunburst crimson sky
verdant vale veers at foot of jade hills, 
on gentle slope fawn leaves rustle with sigh,

Alligators bask lazily on tree limbs overhanging the meandering rivers
Gentle manatees playfully rise above the water line to catch a breath
Such a delight to see these threatened mammals rebounding

Palms and Live Oaks stand as sentries...

of winged angels singing praise
in sunlight prisms that flicker 
and white orchids of flowering lace
in conscious mind I retrace 
each moment of spirit great call
of soft water line...

Drenched in the glow of sunburst scarlet sky
verdant vale veers at the foot of jade hills, 
on gentle slope fawn leaves rustle with sigh,
wafts in the wind to the stream in its rills.

It sketches leaping...

Breathe laden islands rise and fall beneath the lap
of crystalline water, a steam graced surface breached, 
rosettes crest, their gently risings peaks to cap
mouthfuls of desire whose lower gate's lie unbreached.

Submerged beneath chest's hollow lies...

The sun rises with unrehearsed drama
 as an egrets wings its way gracefully
 across the canal saturated
 with lily pads near to bloom.
 Nearby the cypress trees weep
 in Spanish moss along the shoreline---

Near the end, his skin turned canary yellow.
The fingers thinner than an elegant cigarette.
His blue gem eyes sinking just below the water line.
Above the bed was a picture of an empty crucifix.
Pointing in the direction...

Diving in seemed like a great idea
Until I saw the light of the pit, at sea,
Below the water line it glows
How deep was impossible to know,

Swimming into the abyss
Could actually be quite dangerous!
Where loves concerned
