Coral Cosmos

Drifting, drifting we float, in azure abysses aglow
Drifting, drifting we glide, amidst aquatic artistry's flow
Drifting, drifting we go, where coral constellations grow

Swimming, swimming we surge, through sapphire seas serene
Swimming, swimming we swirl, where silent symphonies convene
Swimming, swimming we soar, as shimmering schools careen

Deeper, deeper we dive, discovering diverse domains
Deeper, deeper we delve, dreaming in diaphanous

Reefs

Sunbeams, like kisses, touch the sea,
A hidden world bursts into glee.
Coral castles, grand and bright,
Hug the ocean floor, bathed in light.

Red Sea Urchins

Giant red sea urchins piled high on a dock.
Still live, their spines wave, beckoning me.
Soon to be processed as haute cuisine stock,
Then sent to Japan to make roe puree.

It is sad to see these poor little guys.
They move with intention to find the Sea.
Too bad that their taste tends to tantalize
The overall fondness for good

Hawksbill Turtles

Hawksbill Turtles are listed as, critically endangered
For 100 million years, they have traveled through tropical seas
looking for food, a play mate and a birth place that is great
as their gene of navigation, is their lifetime information

Sea Turtles help to maintain, the health of coral reefs
by eating the sponges, from the surfaces of reefs
They also eat

The Coral Reefs Are Dying

Take a stand and save the world
Recycle that plastic bottle
Help clean up the ocean
And join in the battle
Reduce your use of single use
Commit to end the waste
Reduce the ocean garbage patch
Deliberately make haste
The coral reefs are dying
All around the world
In twenty years they might be gone
If we remain unconcerned
So take a stand and pick it

Elegy On the City's Edge

The sleeping sky is cloudy
And creates a veil over the lying minds.
Like a festival, the cemetery is alluded,
And turns to a hunting ground.

Open Graves and pits - 
They lived.
Crowd of faces in their shades,
To amaze those preys. 

Reefs and sheets they laid
On the unseen skins of the deceased
To commemorate their ways,
In spite of the deaths

Great Barrier Reefs and Other Things That Grew Between Us

Ever since we went our separate ways
I have been missing you as the day goes by
my love for you still amplifies my heart
like the currents of the ocean
You always knew we were both
a perfect match made in paradise
and all we had were plans and dreams
but the Great Barrier Reef that grew between us
decided our love

The Coral Blue Ocean Reefs

both
our
souls
cleaved into
the
coral blue ocean reefs
that
we
both know
and believe

A Native of Florida's Reefs

A Native of Florida's Reefs

I am the native of the Florida Keys and Bahamas
People here call me mero and not goliath grouper
Once a scuba diver caught and held me beside the boat	
Half out of water with hook in corner of my mouth.

Looked at my five-haired beard trailing from aching jaw
Brown skin hanging in strips like
