The Frog That Became KingHe took an oath beneath the chandelier palace,
tongue lapping at furtive moth wings.
A crown of collectible bottle caps
balanced on his warty brow.
Lilith bowed as he passed,
her petals muttering oaths.
Tadpoles formed a scepter’s ascendency,
guiding his webbed ascent.
In the court of cattails and reeds,
he declared dominion over ripples.
Bullfrogs drummed a royal cadence,
while dragonflies danced in tribute.
But power...

your eyesAs i bestow my eyes into your darkest sincerest eyes,
I feel calmness overtake my body,
As If I was looking into the night sea where the waves and shore are at peace and the moon glistens over,
And the soothing sound of your voice calming one another,
and the warmth of being in your brace keeping me...

Life SurfingWhere sky meets ocean and air meets water,
and these two approach land,
a novice surfer
glides ever sideways along the borderline
between the graceful, smooth glass of intention,
and the turbulent, chaotic crash of execution.
This eternal moment is called life.
In love, it is called marriage or fatherhood....

Breezy,
break away free bird,
as free as easy as the wind
wanderess go onward
~ through life~
with an incessant need
to find solace
and meaning
back in god’s grace
It’s penetrating places you roam
and journeyed from
Free bird, without
a home, without your flock
Once wings spread across
golden honey horizons
then held still on a dock
Cries o’er the retched waves
drenched in its...

Bounty of the Sea'Twas dawn and all the sky blazed red.
The tell-tales snapped like waving flags.
The keening wind was full of dread;
all surplus sails were stowed in bags.
Though somewhere on the restless main
the sea was growling in the deep.
Its purpose no one could ascertain;
but there it stirred and did not sleep.
The...

The Sea Ever FlowingAt the end of the sea and start of the sand
there lies a place; a place where we stand
and watch the sea go from shore to shore
in an endless tide; that for so long before
the grass was tall and the wind was blowing,
has been moving like the sea - the sea; ever flowing.
And the stories...

Ocean of Troubles, Shore of Grace
The horizon stretches, endless blue,
A vastness mirroring the dread I knew.
Problems arose, a tempest unforeseen,
And I, a fragile vessel, lost between.
The waves they crashed, a symphony of might,
Each crest a shadow stealing all the light.
The shore, a whisper, distant and unclear,
And in that ocean's heart, surrender felt so near.
The will to navigate, a tattered sail,
My...

Crossed the Ocean in a Raft
I’ve seen the sphinx and pyramids
Climbed Kilimanjaro and Everest
Crossed the ocean in a raft, I did
So, which thrill was the best…
Lest you think...

OceanI don’t like clothes, or non-water things.
Just my boat.
And as a wave comes through, it’s as if my boat could do a flip in the air.
Ocean paths are like a safe.
There are a million combinations to try.
And in trying, I could get distracted and drown.
Which is horrible and priceless, and I would never be...

What is that Giant Head in the Ocean
Was that a giant head bobbing out of the ocean?
The sightseers got out their binoculars
Something massive, a monster
Looked like a giant head
Captain of the cruise ship had seen this before
It is an ocean sunfish, they weigh four thousand pounds
They do look like giant heads
Their main food source is jellyfish
I felt relieved
I thought the head of...

The Lost Ocean Treasure"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." — Jacques Cousteau
It was an early summer morning at the desolate beach
Seagulls soared over the water searching for crabs within reach
The waves gently crashed ashore and left ocean treasures to find,
sea glass, star fish, urchins and other ocean debris of...

An Etched Memory
Tumbling down in a rhythmic flow
Bestowed
a dream appear
With crystal light
The ocean bright
Rising in sunlit mirrors
White clouds drift
The sand shifts
In hues of golden brown
A rhythmic flow
The tempo grows
In harmony
A gracious sound
Each shillouette
Stands
undisturbed
Gazing out beyond
To find a dream
Of life redeemed
In poetic words
And a song
[]
"An etched memory is that of a painted dream
Wandering free...
