Short Capsized Poems

In the middle of
an ocean, a heavy storm 
raid... a ship capsized....

Unprecedented 
Capsized dramatic ship-
Obdurate smugglers.

White foam on rough seas

The boat was pitched to and fro

Then capsized with ease...

Sitting happy in my bathtub
Sailing my boat 
Smoothly between and around my kneecaps
When she stepped in and capsized me...

His goal to totally control
Harder he tried more life capsized
Now wonders what happened to soul
Eternity reveals untold...

Sitting happy in my bathtub
Sailing my boat 
In still waters 
between and around my kneecaps
When you stepped in 
and capsized 
me...

Tiny pirates
Have capsized my bed
And stolen my sleep
Blast those little
Buccaneers!
Now I'm counting sheep!

There once was a man from Natucket
who carried his brains in a bucket.
His container capsized 
and he cried in surprise,
now what was I thinking? Oh furk it!...

Sailed away on a ship called hope,
then life was full of fun.
Hurricane Regret capsized us,
clouds covered the sun.  
I clung to hope.

capsized at forever gone lake
anywhere else they might have had a chance
native americans controlled this reservoir
they were never seen again
neither were their bones
or their hats...

When in Utah, fat Patty took note
on the surface of Salt Lake, folks float.
So she took a great jump,
but she sank like a lump,
and her splash could have capsized a boat!

A river of liquor, my heart beats quicker!
Upon a stream of dreams I float
Magic potions as deep as Oceans-
Tides capsize my happy boat!
As I think, the World, it sinks
Into the pit; the black Abyss
I never did consider this:
I will drown from just a drink!...

A capsized sunken broken stone,
Sat alone on a floor of bone.
Broken in two beneath a breath,
Before the shatter of soul in death.

However, unbeknownst to bones,
A life is but the shatter of stones.
Broken, battered and beaten through,
Until saved when split in two....

Feel the soma nectar dripping
through the Sushumna channel
all chakras & nodes enlivening
ineffable bliss radiance magical 

Palms & feet too are magnetised
with this divine elixirous current
lower mind long since capsized 
throb of bliss our native element

THE PYRAMID

That Night
At twilight
She swallowed
Her lips
And shook her…
O I soft drew 
The Eiffel Tour
reversing it
from the above
Like a capsized
Pyramid to
Hold all the
pains and the 
Spouting of 
The lost soul.
Let it bleed
Life goes on
After all!

How swift the passage of time;
stored up memories,
disappear as sailing ships.

Become as ghost ships;
so short grows my time,
as do fading memories.

Can't recover lost memories;
gone are those capsized ships;
I find there is no time.

Time’s so short and memories made 
dissipate, as ships lost in fog.

See ye not yet, we're hypnotised
by desires, so our soul's capsized.
Stillness side-steps illusion net.
We're hypnotised. See ye not yet?

We’re not the mind, we're not this form.
We're not the currents, cool or warm.
We’re living light, blissful and kind.
We're not this form, we're not the mind.

Feeling a bit itchy.
Stop that! I shriek to my body.
We are over that!

Tender there.
Shush! I hush the yelling voice.
We are done with that also.

Teeth and gums hurt.
SHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am walking upright.
Congratulate myself on that.

Having to be human 
even when nothing else feels 
human any longer, lost in  a capsized body
mind that used to belong to me....

distress alarm went out over the Dunkirk Sea
french bunnies in the water, capsized, maybe three
tugboats and rowboats raced to try and help
argentine bunnies were pulled out wearing gooey kelp

I rescued four, Michigan, a freighter captain said.
we have five here, announced my uncle Fred.
altogether they rescued nineteen bunnies that day.
boats of every color and country, many from far away....

Stormy skies and deadly, squallish seas
taxingly torment sailors- engaged, entrapped
aboard ambushed wood boats bouncing
like lone, helpless toys neath the muted moon.
Whipped, whirled, commonly capsized-
oft fierce forces of nature negate
the valorous vim of human hearts.

A dynast in the storm-razed
polity will ask-
for a pardon.

By choice there was
no suicide. You will
eat the clouds one day.

Taking the brunt,-
living  near the sea of
people, a window goes shut.

Curtly, with
levitation, the wind
twists, one and everybody.

An owl tattoo, will 
tell it all. The hurricane
has reached your door.

Aftermath was a 
conspiracy of silence.
Every one was speaking of landfall.

I can visualize
With my dreaming eyes
Her beauty in a wedding dress;
Much to my surprise
Like I fantasized
To my question she said, “Yes”

When she arrived
My Love Boat capsized
Who in this world could have guessed - 
That I would realize
My dreams come alive
And hear her answer with a, “Yes”

With a heart revived
My soul did survive
The terror and the stress;
I was mesmerized
As my ears did strive
To hear her simply answer, “Yes”...

to fail part-away, on my left undone oh, 
and I did, right to leed me across for you;

all their capsized arguments tray me;
Sister don't hell ! 'cause I can't comply wats real;
But this is not the time, when you say "the clock is
beautiful but can't keep time" your refer to my heart,
don't you ?

Your resignation accepted the speed, your car is
speeding by my shore 's still vening;
Stunts to the grace for and they know: It Might
Be Over Soon....

Night swimming

Deep heavy tears fall down cheeks
 Heartbroken but still beats
 Capsized in ocean cruel deceit 
 Black day as the drugs shield the suns heat
 Lonely feel  emptiness defeat
 Swim from the wreckage and I think I can sleep
Awake in darkness the sharks waiting to eat
 Survive conflict of mind over evil which smells and reeks
A hand stretched out she smiled at me so gentle and sweet
Love was also friendship from a girl’s heart bigger than I ever hoped to meet...

Bamboo's leaf shadowing your soul,
It dances swiftly inside your whole,
Wonderful bliss pours on you like a bowl,
When it's empty it shall comes again in sole.

Your smile makes the earth beaming,
Your willow's heart create new breathing,
You bring the bright hopes of beginning,
Never give up and continue to striving.

Immersed by your purest tranquility,
Your gentle heart capsized everybody,
Willow's heart always comes in purity,
Overcomes fears and cast out every negativity....
