A pallid coastline,
Inspires calm poetic waves:
Under champagne skies....

spring sings through flute flowers

Bluey black, clouds and waves
Dark shades, shadow the nightfall
The cobalt coastline

Jejudo (Jeju Islands, Korea)
Your rugged
Volcanic coastline
Rising above the sea and
Aligning your giant chess pieces
At the shore, checkmating the God of Poseidon...

With night comes the Fall today 
Its weather all its own,
Clouds lie about the coastline
Early and also late.

The days that come this season
I look into with delight,
The time that passes within them
Starts inside the heart....

Leaning pine trees yearn for the open coastline,
needles pointing far and away from vernal
bondage. Left with relics of restless newborn
butterfly's cloister.

A shaft of light gleams,
Through the murky illusions:
Rocky coast divulged. 

A mariners guide,
Through the treacherous coastline:
A symbol of home.

Waves dancing upon these sandy shores

reflects their beauty in a pearl

like diamonds shimmering

across the blue coastline

the whispering waves

sings in silent

peaceful and

calm hymn

song.

The change has been painful 
Grief broke my bones and turned my blood into sand
Life is a current ever flowing
Oceans wash away memories like coastlines 
Time will continue to steal from me
All that's left washed away by the tide

Brothers on the beach,
Seaside in reach,
The two amigos,
Blood brother bros,
Fraternals and kin,
Pals and companions,
Sidekicks and playmates,
Coastline siblings,
Buddies in the shingles,
A forever brother band, 
Golden memories of the strand....

Ocean’s breakers rule the coastline that guards
The land from sliding into the sea

Shallow water and sand dunes were once lands
The sea dastardly pilfered and demanded.  

The breakers have broken all, yet want more
The foam of greed is in the breakers’ soul...

C-ity along harbor 
A-bundant with minerals and vegetations,
L-ying along the coastline, 
A-lso known as gateway to the south.
P-ot where different races mix,
A-cquainted with cultures of north and south and the 
N-atives as original inhabitants.

Quahog burrows deep in mud …
By bubbles it’s betrayed … 

“We’re gonna have a clam-bake!
Bring your waders and a spade!”




A quahog is a large and very tasty type of clam, native to the New England coastline.
The name will be familiar to all fans of "Family Guy" ......

Sunrise,
slowly it sneaks,
first, it will take a peek
and if the coastline is all clear,
then just a tad more near the horizon
its yellow will show, it will glow,
a strong push from the range,
then it will be
sunrise.

Beads
Of sand
Twirl around
In slow motion,
Like white lace draping my feet in cool waves.

Powdered coastline echoed of our laughter
But how fleeting
Was June’s quest-
Time's play
Gone.

  The sky, aloof now
    midst turmoil beneath
  Faint inspiration 
    can she bequeath

  Denizens of darkness
    like hellhounds they dance
  Stalking prey on shore
    the coastline explore

  And we few humans
    cower behind closed doors
  from the unlikely return
    of the hadrosaurs

Narwhals, Is Chivalry Dead?


Narwhals cycle arctic coasts
amidst the icepack
ancient seasoned routes

swordfights, competition, Spring
female conquests are courted
mystic spiral tusks

alphas chose the heartiest
basking in the sun
coastline guides the species well

Waves crash
Your wrapper crumples
Thrown into the crazy waters
Killing the creatures in the coral
Little by little
Commonly found everywhere
Floating
Caution in the water
With chemicals creeping
Coastline to coastline 
Laced with pollution
Fish collide with waste
Communities and ecosystems
Decimated...

The Climb
Up and up we
Climb up the spiral
Staircase.

Each step you take
You curse my
Namesake

Each step I take
Each Moment
I wish someone
Else could
Take my place

When we get
To the top
Look out
At the vista

Watching the ocean
Lick the sugar sand
Coastline

Nothing but
Peace is
On your face.

Climbing the
Lighthouse Was
Not a waste....

Where land meets sea
Waves wash tears.

Memories erode
Brine swirls forgotten.

The longing remains
And our grief unloads. 

Where Moon drives tide
Ebb hides need.

Flow spills thirst
Our wretched hearts cried.

Where night joins surf
We stand alone.

The break of drift
We straddle this shore.
	         
And light-years ‘tween stars
Shrink our stature....
