Short Capsizing Poems

FAR IS SO THE VIEW

the view is far so
sunset perpendicular
horizon rises

capsizing daylights
submerged visions weather viens
far is so the view

On Jingxi River boatmen are very careful with big rocks found,
No news about boat-capsizing is heard all the year round. 
But in smooth rivers where there are no dangerous rocks,
Victims are often heard to be drown without knocks.

Our love flows tidal wave
Carrying us both along
One is pulling out to sea
Another pushing ashore
Sailing under burning sun
Below the glowing moon
In spate, capsizing doubt
Navigating every coast
Floating above everything
Arriving mainland soon...

She went into the dipping gold
rising the liquid dream
A medallion of innocent heritage
in the fluid of dusk, serene

I skimmed to the water's edge in haste
to capture this moment of peace
In a turmoil second this capsizing life
brought in bones of my loved one, 
and memories deceased....

Void of you 
My life is like a wind
Drifting to nowhere
Tossed and turned
By the ragging nature

Your kisses hunted me down
Capsizing and ceaselessly 
Plowing my innermost
Drilling my manliness

Void of you,
My life is separated by miles of realities
Stay with me, my dreamer

Amidst the dark night ahead,
My heart skips a beat,
And dreams turn wild,
For a stranger I met.

He dominates my lust,
And churns up a storm,
Capsizing inner goddess,
Overflowing with warmth.

His true intention is clear,
For love to embrace me,
Hence I listen all night,
To call his name.

Mon Ami.

passive agression
schizoid fantasy
she seemed patient
like green earth
quiet and withdrawn
like a hermit
interjection of thoughts
projection of wants
red wine
we are walking
white sand spreading
music of the heightening
waves capsizing
the fortress of black
rock
distorted emotions
conversion of sublimed
lust
we are uniting
union of ecstasy
blessed
witnessing mermaids...

a thunderstorm passing over -
gun turrets flash
gray hulls rumble and roll
above tumultuous clouds

evening commences to weep -
a damp emotive capsizing
that barely touches upturned faces

as seafaring battles go
it was a sky-skirmish
of near misses

a backwash of electric fizz
the distant sound 
of sailors shouting for rum

light blinks 
shipping damp echoes
that drip
into a salty bucket
of silence...

Autumn shrugs off summer 
like Alzheimer's shrugs off
wit, slowly and methodically;
purposeful and nonchalant. 
This dire deterioration
welcomes dank darkness,
chilling and finite, 
long-winded and overbreathed.
October winds shake and stir
the very foundations of our
civilizations, and rock the 
metaphorical boat of blissful
nesciance; eventually capsizing
the bleeding vessel, until its
veins run dry with
suffocation....

Tears upon tears. 
Cruelty upon misery. 
Swapping hell
 For the psychotic sea. 
Capsizing in infinite night. 
Empty silence now ruptured, 
As haunted faces 
That once knew kindness,
 Wail and scream. 
Kick and splash. 
Fighting their surrender 
To the murderous depths
 and then quietness falls. 
But for the groans of a forlorn mum.
 The score will be kept. 
Statistics written up. 
Reported by the press 
Somewhere between the golf 
And the latest fashion faux pas....

In the swift wind.
My hands set sail in a vast
Emptiness. 
Weary feet pointed left.
My heart steadfast to the right.
Her heart wild as the wind.
I sailed beside her.

Capsizing in her silk wave.
She was far from quiet, an abundance of thoughts. Opinionated from one wave to the next.
Without a single struggle. 
I sank.

I left my supplies by the mast.
Becoming easier to swallow. 
Everything scattered.
Topsy turvy in fascination. 
She kissed me and I never looked back....

Love may be lost in the process of age
and hidden in the miserly sunset 
of life, draining like a father's cold sweat.
Oh, that you could absorb my red-hot rage

and exist in a long moment with me
as though life and love were newly begun,
as if it were lace dainty and finespun,
with hopes now aglow on a sparkling sea~

but the sea has become angry and rough
capsizing and drowning us in its wrath;
love is forgotten as death lays its path
and quietude wraps you up in a huff....

Favorite green silk robe
Lying in wait for him to come home
Dinner is ready
The door opens steady
Happy he’s finally home
*
Racing from the car to the door
As soon as my shoes hit the floor
My heart is capsizing 
Just now realizing
She’s more beautiful than ever before
*
We’ve finally found our way home
We’ll never again be alone
Embracing at last
Hearts racing fast
Every emotion within a single moan

A collaborative limerick by Rachel Egona and Julian Egona...
