ADRIFT AT SEA*
sea-worn bottle, 
bobs on a digital tide.
inside, not paper brittle with salt,
but luminous lines of light,
coded in metaphors and rhyme.

message tossed
into the sea.
unknown sender,
no harbor designated, no destination
on any map.

it drifts, a lonely vessel,
across oceans of indifference,
until…
a seacoast appears,
unsummoned, 
unexpected.

my eyes, the sand.
my mind, the beach.
I pick it up,
this delicate thing,
uncorking the silence.

Ship wrecks do happen
People get  stranded 
On a small island
Then build their shelters 
Make beds from what found

Search for their food
Then search for water
Find a bottle and cap
Find bark to write on
Sending a message

In a bottle to
Anyone to find
Hoping the bottle 
Will return to them
The wait could be long

Anyone to find
Hoping the bottle 
Will

Premium MemberMessage in a Bottle

Bottle shared
with my mom’s bestie;
and it was good
to share old times;
now even this
is past times…

The good times roll
away, like
an empty bottle…

We’d laugh,
discuss,

until I had to go
and Judy left

with an “I love you.”
The best thing said

between two.

Message in a bottle

Take my hand
don't let go
I know is hard
but I don't want to fall
what's in your head?
let me know
messages in a bottle
can travel the world.

Message In A Bottle

A long reach of in-coming tide
laid it gently at my bare feet -
a green, corked wine bottle.

I could see a note within it still,
curious, I took it home.

That evening,
by the light of a desk lamp
I opened it,
revealing a handwritten message,
It simply read:

"Too Late."

Message in a Bottle

I bottle my emotions,
Seal them tight like messages in glass,
Cast adrift in vast, uncaring seas,
Only to wash ashore, unbidden and misunderstood.

It was a journey long and weary,
These bottled whispers floating aimless,
Until sands of fate urge them ashore,
Where they're found, but often by the wrong hands.

Unintended readers unfurl my words,
Read lines meant for others—or perhaps no

Valid

At times I sit & wait for the sun
To uncover all the things about you 
that for some reason or another I cannot say.
For every thought I've had about you 
I've written down, torn out and swallowed 
in the spine of a different book.
One covered in flesh and parted by the red sea.
One day you'll

Bottle At the Sea

On the sinister horizon,
only this bottle
missive, message...
Uncertainty...
No ships pass,
no planes on this route...
Nobody in sight...
just sinister line
from the horizon...
Only this bottle to browse
my exile... !

Message In a Bottle

I don’t have the words
They’ll never be enough
So, I stay silent
Hoping that it’s still understood
Though the storms may come
Though it’s tossed between the waves
I hope it reaches the shore
Though empty, still full of emotion
As your message in a bottle

Message In a Bottle

Consider me someone's fallen ways,
Beneath a swollen stare;
Or a brief but complete moment
Which span is unknown.

Consider me to be a  stiff collection of thoughts
From within a weary heart 
That has been handled by fools

Or....
Consider me barely enough,
Yet by then I may be nothing at all.

Premium MemberMessage In a Bottle

The new year 2020 is only days away,
I will set this free on new year's day.
Hopes and dreams to the future beyond,
This message set afloat this journey of long.

Many days, weeks, months and years,
Drifting endlessly till one-day this bottle appears.
The future is now connected to the past,
Unlocking many mysteries and questions at last.

But the greatest

Premium MemberMessage In a Bottle

I'm a buoyant traveler of seas. 
My cocooned message is to whom it may concern 
A fisherman threw me in, and I'm lost; drifting aimlessly.  
I'm riding on the crest of a wave not knowing if or when  
I'll wash ashore. I don't know or care if I'll ever be found.  
I

I have a chance
(if things pan out)
to climb the local ladder.
Assistant to a Laureate
in poetic matters. 

Wish me luck,
at least a fall that
leaves me writing better;
but if I fly,
cheer me on
earning all my letters.

Message In a Bottle

I was alone on the beach, 
Just me and the waves.
The wind among the trees, 
The sand tickling my feet.

I put a message in a bottle 
Threw it wide, 
It was bobbing on the waves, 
Till it disappeared out of sight.

I stood gazing, 
At the vast blue ocean, 
Waiting for someone, 
Who would answer my,
