The ship of dreams, a fragile, drifting thing, A tattered sail, where love once took its wing. Arianna gone, a whisper on the breeze, Leaving only echoes of the heart's disease. You search for solace, in the fading light, A lonely figure, lost in endless night. The memory of her laughter, a haunting refrain, A phantom touch, a lingering, sweet pain. I wander...

Foreboding of a tempestuous storm, it blackens as it draws near, a cumulonimbus in towering form, extending to the troposphere, So cast off mooring and slacken the line, break free while there's still time, 'cause I'll pull you under if you don't let go, Save yourself and abandon ship, I'll take on water and sink...

Capsizing the Costa Concordia Divers wreathe silently through the submerged corridors of a  140,000-ton wreck. Little fish dark haphazardly through the juxtaposition of tilted ballroom, granite bars fixed in place. Black waters lit green by headlamps provide a surreal spotlight for a loveseat drifting by A vase of Chinese dollar plants poised delicately on a marble counter. Across the underwater tomb, toppled chairs, tumbled together, wait patiently to be repositioned outside...

She came aboard my sinking ship a death blow to the bow, attempts to bail and keep afloat this mariners tattered sails. Plot a new course and navigate in storms and angry seas, this vessel lists in the swells life plundered by piracy. Now this new maidens charge is to steer starboard side, for a new sheltered port with rising tides. This once scuttled ship ill winds...

A recent visit to an eclectic museum trying to achieve many things in a small space. Unintentionally presented in the style of a lucid dream. Harps through the ages (with audio), a collection of children's toys (with brief notes about who owned them), a human skeleton (example of preservation of bone), important paintings and prints...

Submerged in the depth of the abyss, motionless nor missed; the ship is submissive to a fathom's organisms. Time has lost all realism. Amid a quiet grave, ...

There I was, stranded in a hull Talking to a skull While trapped in the Maw of the deep Cold Water at my knees I started to plea, "Why Sell my Soul to the Deep?" While dead men say nothing Cold Water at my thighs Now i started speaking lies "The doors creak shut, i tried," Empty black eyes gaze Salt in the mouth, i...

A last goodbye to you on the deck... Winds growling the misfortune.... RMS titanic twisted in the blisters... Let the coffin in glister... Recalling our ancestors' flute... Off the ships under the sealed seabed, Cape of Good hope lurkes the will of fate. Seagull hissing to the Symphony of Seas, Carnival of cruises, Had I known your last dreary, I would...
