She wore a hand-bra bikini
When she slipped in the lake
And swam backstroke
For the man in the moon....

Prancer gave Dasher a poke
It was so hard that he had to soak
His ribs were still sore
As he heads to the door
He pranced to the song, backstroke...

Emotion Ocean
It comes in waves
One moment 
Drowning
Gulping for air
Wishing 
The world away
In an abysmal  of fear


Then, the tide turns
Currents change
Swimming 
Doing the backstroke 
Wishing 
The world to stay
With a blissful tear...

Dive
I want to
swan dive in, trajectory perfect
landing right in your center
I want to 
go deep into your depths
before I resurface
I want to
trudgen  through your mind
backstroke through you spirit
breaststroke through your soul
butterfly through your fantasies
I want to
get wet...

Surrender
The waves were subtle
As you led me in
Half moon
Full moon
I can't quite remember
But your hand was strong
Supportive was your praise
Then
Backstroke in November

My mind was muddled
But you let me be
All me
Just me
You were tender
Your tempting tongue
Was impeccable
All I could do
Was serenely surrender...

Premium Member Hey Waiter, There's a Fly In My Stew
There was once a finicky chap named Lou,

     Who espied a fly swimming in his stew!

          Said the waiter to the bloke,   

               "What a fantastic backstroke!

                    He won't eat much and will leave some for you!"

Winter
winter dawn
a patch of clouds
blossom a bare tree


holding on 
with what she left behind  
winter moon


winter rain 
the urge to feel
the newborn


full moon
winter’s stillness
in a soap bubble


uphill walking
she takes me into
winter clouds


winter deepens . . .
lungi shivering on
the beggar's face


on the rock . . .
the descent of water ends
winter's loneliness	


winter twilight
homing mynahs
over my backstroke...

Babe Ruth the Swimmer
I dreamt of Babe Ruth
in Howard Johnsons' 
lighted pool doing

the backstroke so brilliantly.
No bats lying around
anywhere. warm water

reflected dorsal pecs, 
beautiful biceps, round
spiral muscles fanning

along so softly.
Finally finding the nerve
to say: Babe! your a

ballplayer; Sultan of swat.
Smiling at me timidly:
I'm a ballplayer and a

a swimmer. He replied
calmly gliding away.
A swan in the moonlight....
