Evening waves come forth, then flee
All these sounds wash over me...

SymphonyNimble fingers glide across the strings
practiced notes turn instruction into muscle memory
dancing, the bow sounds out each note
on the ivory shore, breezy and remote
Clouds drift about, sun warm on the face
shrill cries of gulls, waves...

Sea Foam
The waves beat at the shore
Abruptly pouncing
Slowly retreating
Again and again
White froth churning
My eyes watering
My throat tightening
I open my mouth
Nothing
Silence
Water blissfully moving by me
The silence so sweet
Yet saltier than the ocean waves
Neverending cerulean blue
Wading through...

Too empty pieces of shells

RipTideOur love is like a riptide
wild ride, I am drowning in you.
Riptide, pool slide, can't fight it, suck you right back in
Can't swim to the side.
Sex ride, heat light, glow bright
driving us insane
I want you...

When will I not love youWhen will I not love you
shall there be a distant flame
flickering beyond the warmth of
an Indian summer's sultry breeze
When will I not love you
will the sun rest on top of giant
umbrellas dancing heavenly...

If not for love, the world is lost
on storms at sea, mankind is tossed
If dawns the morn, o'er dry land
man has a chance...

Don't be one of the broken ones
Who remain empty shells that echo
The remnants of their humanity
Long forgotten and stripped away
Don't be one of the cruel ones

Floating
To float on the sea
is a delight for me.
To be rocked by waves that
urges, surges and mummers
a welcome aboard from the sea,
is giddy gosh, gleeful to me.
The prods, prompts, jostles and
pulses of the waves...

Miles of ocean cable
Mostly North Atlantic
Many attempts it took
Meaning could have been lost
More likely weak signals
Morse code was the default

Sea ChangeIts quest is over.
Life's. Wholesome-faced.
At this drop off point, a world's
Sea-washed. Effaced.

Profitless, for coin
Proved it, toward more and more
Becoming joy-rich
Now breathing freer, will ditch
What for too long chafed
Of self deceit,...

Oceans - Of Thought
| Oceans - Of Thought |
Harmonised hypothermia sets
through the darkened depth
of the chasm deep,
Like a heavy-weighted wreck
of my linguistic mind.
As blithe planulae float
amongst the turquoise torrents
of the surging tides.
Efflux my...
