Too Late
He dances on the sand and waves, white shirt in hand. 'The gold!' He cries 'I've found the gold, and ruby stones of deepest dye.' Heedless, the cross-masts sink from sight. Salt waters lap the arid shore. Trickling tears now wet his cheeks, for now he knows the reason why white bones bestrew the golden strand and vultures squat so patiently upon yon head...

Marooned
the light sways each break cast upon waters wake constant movement capture waves reflecting shimmer refractive glass splinter mirage slicing a mirror each simple twists of fate swim deep in retreat die beneath the stillness a silent repose of agonies sleep trapped in drowning grief swallowed by misery's caress beached in sorrows weep crawl the shore on battered knees the beat of a fist concede grip of blood...

Marooned
My heart is marooned on the island of solitude, bidding that the days swiftly go by, trying to maintain a hopeful attitude, until visions of you met my eyes, laid dormant; are the passions I felt for you, with your scent so fresh in mind, and the love that’s so true, dear lord; why is happiness so hard to find? As the wilted flower struggling to survive, my heart; deeply...

Marooned On An Island of Nihilism
After a lifetime (pronounced like millennium), where tenacity futilely braced psyche deeply purpled, hellishly, and lethally traced resulting scars - jackknifed, emasculated cruelly chaste sexuality expired, lapsed, and petered out testosterone begone to waste, and how this abased bereft of eroded optimism, nee faith no more - erased, solitary carbon based animal coalesced into countless foreborn generations (glommed *****sapiens salient survival skills) mortified, putrefied, and stagnated toxic brew quaffing poisonous score peon - composite gin, barley...

Marooned
Manic waves sunk my boat, marvel how I could float, made it to an island, man there had drinking stand, mirage I was thinking, many swigs lemonade, marooned coconut shade. 4-19-17...

After our yacht was wrecked by the storm I was washed up on a tropical island. My two companions sadly had not made it I found them both washed up and lifeless. First priority was to bury the bodies before they attracted unwanted attention. With no tools I spotted a shallow cave perfect putting them inside I covered the entrance with loose...

Awake beneath a blazing, pulsing sun as ocean waves continue slapping shore against my naked, bloody, tired feet. Need to widen search for cleaner water quenching thirst tomorrow thru tomorrow. Alone I craft robust and treeless hut yet lacking binding metal - paste to seal. Without the use of tools, I stack and stack the brush against a slope of sod...

When we got married at twenty two We said our vows beside a ski-doo But then got marooned So we honeymooned In a five star, two story igloo My wife said a stiff drink would be nice But I couldn’t locate any ice So I stripped to get numb-er Then asked for a hummer Hoping that my iced cubes would suffice...

Marooned By Elton Camp Meg & Mae’s ship went down Only those two didn’t drown They made it to a desert isle No inhabitants--what a trial It was alone they had to live Not a man, their love to give For years the two lived there Though seaward they did stare A ship on the horizon appeared Meg and Mae both wildly cheered Joy to sorrow...

Bound up, restrained my skin's too tight, I want to howl the moon. I wring my hands fright is my plight ev'ning comes too soon. Mirrors quiver in ambient light to an aged crone, I croon. No where to run at each twilight alone, inside, marooned....
