Sails Poems

dear life

dear life holding though seems dropped 
seems well keepsake just head propped
all stages work cards play right 
while smile never think laugh fight 
lose focus find few new pills
rob future paywall advance
lift feet one front partner dance
kiss wife lovely dead weights corpse
don't go stay home destroy thorps
take arms see sails more increase
tattoo flag wave war

My Boat Sails Off on a Lovely Day

My boat sails off on a lovely day,
the future unknown as it drifts with the tide.

A storm rises, ferocious and unrelenting,
dragging me to the bottom of the sea.
I feel the weight of the water,
the finality of sinking—
I believe I will never rise.

Out of nowhere, a brush appears,
a great, shimmering stroke of light.
I grab it, and

Change Sails

Wind is uncontrolled
I reach my objective by
Adjusting my sails.

Unfurl Your Sails

Each fragile dandelion Orb of feathered, tiptoed seeds
Invite Curiosity's breath to loft your prosperous needs

Anchor away La Pinta, La Niña, cast off Santa Maria
Heave hoe your Astrolabe Star ward to map Nirvana

Sail well past your daunting precipice in daring abandon
The Perils of Earth's plate, let emptier thoughts imagine

Be bold.  Lift in weightless step. 

He Sails at The Top

He sets up His mast upon His raft. 
He sailed the tops and groves of the trees in granting
There He goes through the forest, soaring His craft
He provides energy to the wild as the swift wind passes.

The freshness of the timbers climbing,
When they flourish where they're standing
The aroma of wood is the best for understanding
That

wind in one's sails

the going gets tough
no pain no gain sink or swim
burn the midnight oil

soldier on stick to 
your guns bite the bullet come 
hell or high water

go the extra mile
the going gets tough stand your 
ground dig in your heels

up and at ’em where 
there’s a will, there’s a way on 
the ball hang in there

sails in the harbor

When you see a white sail in the harbor of Brest,
A sail under a burning sun,	
It’s a nagging sail,
She has not the tranquility of a sail on the Nile,
Her mind is not at peace, her conscience torments her,
This sail flees life; it does not enjoy life,
So are most of the things we like 
In This

Flitting Sails

Yellow Swallowtail
Frail wings, spots of cyan blue
Flew on flitting sails.

Liberty Sails

harboring ‘midst statue’s torch
liberty sails in July
flamboyant holiday stars

fireworks holiday
sail boats in new york harbor
free to celebrate

She Sails

There she is in all her glory

Her ship never sailed

A coat of paint and name change

She prevails …..

Sails

"Sails" 

Running along 
the cliff edge
like dirt music 
racing sharks
in the shallows

he wrote 

his messages 
on walls 
tall ships 
breezing 
in the sales

torn pages
pinned 
to the flip side
walking the floors
of Freedom

recording notes
moving his fingers
along the day 
like he’s playing 
the keys of a piano

the words 
and music 
of his life
flying swiftly away
like blackbirds 

in his

Door 2 Door Sails

An housewife in need of a poke
Was charmed by a sweet-talking bloke
He gave her what-for
Then dashed out the door
Because he mis-spoke and he's broke

The Captain Sails Atop the Storm

Like sitting upon a sail at the storm’s peak,
riding its mastery, and black and blue artistry.
Underneath the vessel’s feet, it’s troubled us
to flip us end to end, to break its back. Pale
is the moon under many a gossamer sheet
of the criminal-clouds. The sun likewise quivers,
a sickly-green hue, as the seaweed, underneath
the careening boat, moves either

Sail On

I watched the beautiful sky
As it seems to meet
With the water
While I sailed across
The ocean blue with breeze
That flows with the wind

Stopping By

hwy 93 glides up into
the misty grey 
where billowing black
shifting clouds
shroud the moon
like pirate sails

wheels and metal
destined for what is
forever slipping away

yet drawing nigh

so gentle and so kind

stopping by the horizon
on a summer's eve
"because it could not stop for me" *
(if you read poetry)

sage hills roll on

long after I'm gone
