By the sea
i often wonder about the why’s and where’s
why the sea scent permeates the air
and where it wanders so across the land
why the waves unfurl without a care
and where it is they toss the sand
why the moon freehands its glitter
and where its drifting loot is carried
why time spent in contemplation is never lost
and where our serenity...

Child Of The SeaI was a
poet
you
were a sailor
Waves
came in couplets
words
in the brine
I was
reborn
with the ocean
in rhythm
Released
in its wonder
forever
— in rhyme

Water KettenWater is always my release,
release of that impulse to dive.
Dive fish-scaled and iridescent,
iridescent swells the water.
Water quiets and feels like home,
home undulates but stays sacred.
Sacred like every rolling wave,
wave that binds my soul to water....

Leaping and bouncing and splashing,
Looking up when the day is done,

Posaidon's SurfboardUpon the waves where the wild winds sing,
A tale unfolds of a vessel and its wing;
Through the tide, it dances, graceful and free,
Harnessing the ocean's heart, a sight to see.
With cargo holds filled, treasures abound,
From the Pacfic to the Atlantic, dreams resound.
A bill...

Back To The SeaI'm Con-Fusing
More Than Con-Fused...
At Least I Think I Am
How Would I Know?
Never-Mind That,
How Do We
Measure?
Confused Or Confusion,
By Intensity, Somehow,
I Guess... Or Is It How
Much You've Ignored?
Let's Just Hope
Something...
That Goes On
In Your Head,
Wasn't Something
You READ!

What the Lost Sea Turtle Asked
where is the moon that
used to guide me home to breed -
gulls had no reply
they too can't see sky above ~
smudged by human stamps of smog...

7 B's Of Summer
Spring is sprawling
out there somewhere
in a Bikini on a Beach
drinking Beer
toes in the sand
glass in hand
while snowflakes are falling
and winter's still here
then when good old
sunny summer comes
(and swallows do too)
oh to go Barefoot
in a Boat on the sea
Barbecue in the garden
play Ball in the park
fun in the sun 'til evening twilight
lowers the night a curtain...

One Good Deed
People come and people go
and how the times do change
but something here needs to be done
it should be rearranged
preachers pundits politicians
won't ever set things right
the man in the street can make a difference
if he takes up the fight
so many souls lost at sea
tho' they're on dry land
action speaks louder than words
they need a helping hand
and...

drunk on fire
Your seawater stirs in me where fire balances high on oil
You clasp my candlefire, wick's motioning coil —
A sweating kind of missing
A burned open kissing
The glass shared between us two
Flames in our faces as we move
To the synchrony past
Our dressing these masks
These temperatures rising in veins of you and I
God, brief tourniquets in time...
