Shoreline Poems

When Love Leaves Home

Once upon a time on the sands she thought she found true love
then one day he went his way what was she dreaming of
now she walks the shoreline alone along the low water mark
searching for seashells on her own from sunrise until dark
at the end of the tunnel there's always a light
a ray of hope

Haiku: Ocean

seagulls cry above 
silver ripples softly, hum

Shoreline

Eyes staring at the fading sun
as my lover sailed away
tears became the shoreline
she hated my tortured mind
I hated the river
of depression

The river waved good bye

the indigo night

(Inspired by 'Indigo Night' by Thomas W Case)

A thousand thousand stars pierce the indigo night,
but no moon mars the canvas, or lightens velvet strokes.

Half-hearted waves slap at shoreline rocks, like tepid applause.
If the sky is darkest blue, the ocean is a still-darker green.

The harbor suggests a freedom, outside the breakwater
as if the choppy ocean were

Along the Lake Shoreline

*Inspired by the photo from the internet


Through blades of grass, sun's centerpiece
Shines brighter, watching light increase
Thoughts get sharper, mind is more clear
With globe in my hands, all is near
Still reflections, enough to walk
With words of truth, now I can talk
Along this peaceful lake shoreline
There's no-one here, the world is mine

At Sea Ii

At Sea II

The start of an ocean voyage starts like life; fresh and new
And best served with a brew

The shoreline disappearing from view and star bright
Replacing the street lights fading fast into the night

The seas are calm in that cove as you leave a safe haven
Moving past that beacon with an escort from a raven

The

'shoreline'

Maybe it's better to roam about unnoticed
To do your thing with so much pride
That you forget that some see it as a competition
That where you are in life
Is where you need to be even if you dont make waves just yet
Have you noticed that the shoreline does its work without praise
Its duty without being reminded

Yet

Shoreline Art

A crinkled shore on the Upper Peninsula.
We are hunting Golden Eagles.
Cameras fully loaded.

You find a small stone,
on it, a crimp and cockle
of wind and waves
has rucked an impression
of an eagle in flight.

“It's only ripple art, not even
a good depiction,
just water-wear. “
I say.

You throw it back into Lake Huron,
won’t hold my hand,
won’t even look at me,
until

A New Shoreline

The earth is as fluid as the sea itself
Like these thoughts which have no
ultimate or fixed reality
As the tide rises, in waves of silver
To touch the edges of wet sand
Like tears sparkling that edge over
With no boundaries losing itself to shores

Contemplating this life of the shore
A truth that is just beyond our grasp
And what truth

Rocks On the Shoreline

We are like rocks on the shoreline,.
The waves come in like the feelings we experience daily, 
they wash over us, but we remain there day after day. 
The waves  build our character with each one that rolls in.
Knowing these waves keep coming we become familiar with them over time,
we ride out the highs and

The Seawater

As I walk through the seashore
I hear the gentle sound of the waves
I feel the cool breeze of the wind that flashes through

I feel the waves in my feet
A little water sprinkle over me
I see the reflection of the sky as I look through the water

All blue as I can see
I take off my slipper

View From the Shoreline

So soothing on her skin, moist wind from the sea

The waves stretching and folding back on itself

as the setting sun sinks on the horizon....

                               

Shoreline

What if the sea stopped moving, 
lay as still as setting concrete? 
And all around the gulls
scolded a lament 
as seals flapped aimlessly,
trying to raise a swell. 
With cormorants stranded on a rock 
as poised as a question mark,
while crabs scuttled everyway
as if dancing on hot plates,
becoming the uncovered prey 
of seabirds and small boys.
