Moorings Poems - Poems about Moorings

Daddy, there are new moorings, come see! There are shiny pontoon chains and cables, braided ropes and colorful pennants. The anchors and piles and buoys all new! He arose groggily and without ambition but allowed the boy to lead him to the quay wherein he saw indeed, new moorings! His heart quickened. Badly needed, as the old were worn, tattered, and so dangerous...

I slipped loose some time ago it feels, the knot untied, cut; depending on perspective; gently pushed away to float freely, wildly, aimlessly. Some new imagined moorings hauling steady at my line; as they ever did and will. When all the rivers, far seas, oceans have been sailed upon and longings have been sated; I will weary and so yearn to tie up again, awhile, shape this berth...

Moorings anew are easy as thought, Vessels tethered, fixed as weather, By an anchor, a person, or an idea, Sure to shore up evidence of defense, of itself. With every wave, memory fades soft as morning fog, Providing wet hiding and reinforcing ties, Binding us together, on shores of security, Like seamen seining a weir of our own making. Forgetting respawns our willingness, To...

Are anchors fetters or do they stabilise, acting as moorings, holding us steady, that we may stay grounded in our comfort zone, whilst battling fierce winds of duality? We walk alone yet seek safety in numbers, opting to adopt culture based on birth, deludedly following narrow beliefs, although in our heart, gong of truth rings not. We feel within our bones that we...

The new boats came to the harbour town for the harbour had new moorings. Gently the boats bobbed up and down upon the gentle water. The newness sparkled on the boats and the owners had new jumpers. "Harbour Days!" the newsmen cried, the harbour town in clover. The opening was proud - with prince! He came there in a hurry, though slow to congratulate from his...

September Moorings
Slips marked and mapped across the intercoastal waterways a scanning breached out of high low tidal waves, silent, still, obscure, and not well hidden liveaboards hold steady isolated sheltered misgivings; embedded and anchored in place buoys secure contested living space, Matanzas Pass, Sarasota fields, Titusville and Sunset Bay the Gulf Stream Key Largo flow a mainstay; honker down between...

The Moorings of Yesterday
The Moorings of Yesterday Looking out at the moorings of yesterday, wondering what was. The long pier of forgotten purpose skeletal remains peaking above the surface of ancient waters Attempting to peer through the fog that is tomorrow, Wondering what will be. A moment in time to displace the here and now, To dream of history’s future. A day dream of a...

"The Well of Tender Moorings" Deep as the coolest deep dark well Seeking sanctuary in thy fathomless ocean, The immaculate buoyant waters of thy untamed soul I lie between thy corporeal shoulder blades and muscles Bathed in thy efflorescence, the luminous white light and velvet safe domain Of thy majestic wings Naked as a Blue Bird sings. Mineth arms and forks tightly clasp...

searching for words in continuum of incompleteness, it was a trickle at first, then a free fall, cerebral fury: I am becoming expansive, so apposed to verbatim of shrieks, only in whispers I will talk to delphiniums, I would walk inside the time capsule, come and sit besides me for a while, I am tired of this ghost town, and fleeing shadows...
