the first day of summer
with cocktails 
iced coffee 
waffles with a side of cracked conch
and a day at the VIP beach
here's to paradise !...

inspiring me to lie down in the sand
allowing the lap of the waves to lull me to sleep
i feel grateful he is waiting when I awake...

Me
A Martyr's Soul
If I could speak 
I would say among offering flower and saluting me in front of me
Who was the shooter at my conch when was alive....

Strong whiskey got me cock-eye drunk
Caused me to fall in a batch of raw conch
They were stuck to my face
And was sprayed with strong mace
Then they called me a scary a_ _ punk...

~A conch shell's dream to sing
under the moonlit night sky
in a far away tropical island
while listening to solitude's sigh.~

Soft yellow illuminates gray clouds
Like a conch shell weathered
'Pon a cold cloudy winter beach
Sitting alone tethered  

Haven't decided if to go on or not
Maybe finis' or maybe not...

you play 
my flute
and i your
conch shell

ocarina
with both 
of us fingering
to configure some

sort of
melody in
harmony with
each of us not one

without
the other
for this is
not a solo...

figuratively speaking...
clearing the mind
accommodates new thoughts...

poetry then is as...
a reality turned inward
and outward

a conch shell time sphere...
from which to watch the wilds
with your own po at tree

ocean sounds
I pass a conch
from my ear to hers
 
monsoon dusk
the flood carrying
my shattered dreams


long rain
the homelessness
reopens the school


holding tight
to the hand of my child--
on the iPad
my mother talks and talks
of returning roles...

I feel the shell’s roughness in my hand
Yet cool as the ocean water 
before I plucked it into the suns warmth.
lifting it to my ear, I hear 
the oceans waves break upon the shore,
Is this an echo of life within the murky depths?
I wonder…

washed ashore with waves

                                  a conch with sea history -

                                   -   hello ... no red thread

My ribcage is like a conch shell
where you can press your ear
against my narrow chest 
where the music of the ocean tides
meet the songs of the mermaids
flowing and circulating
through my heart made of ocean water
and my breastplate made of coral reefs...

Janae arrived in the summer in the back of a conch shell boat.
After the frost had thawed on every single Alaskan float.
Demons and wailing frogfish popped their heads out of the waves.
Wondering whether to greet her or run back to their underground caves....

Bryan Lee Cranston, as everyone knows,
Portrays Walter White in crime drama shows;
As vibrant as a conch-shell,
Enchants all by-action-spell;
His fine flawless voice like fluent flood flows…

seaweed stuck on sand 
seagulls seeking small shellfish
shirtless swimmers splash 

crawling crabs, claws clasped 
clams closed, coral chips and conch 
children's castle crafts

Queen Janae arrived in the summer in the back of a conch shell boat.
After the winter frost had thawed on every single Alaskan float.
Demon devilfish and wailing frogfish popped their heads out of the waves.
Wondering whether to greet her or run back to their underground caves....

I was conceived
in a magical realm 
where I can where the sun
on my head like a straw hat
the sea around my torso
like a cocktail gown
with conch shells and coral reefs
The white sand like flip flops on my feet 
and the palm leaves across my chest
and shoulder like a Gucci purse...

conch shell empty
bleached nearly white
universe design

center dot
evenly spaced planets
clockwise enlarging

spiraling universe
sun center dot
gray, tan swirling

colors of Conch Shell
soft delicate
neutral

Music of the spheres celestial 
Drums roll in the distance 
Conch sounded as God’s miracle
Divine entwined parlance 

Go in, within, to feel
Soundless thunder appeal
As blissful currents heal

Here, within, so near
Music of the spheres

Baby merelf swims up for another hug
His mama is wise, she enjoys their cuddle
Knowing that in the blink of an eye
He will be chasing mermaids,
Promising them a pretty bauble
Or a ride in his conch shell car
She holds on tightly loving these moments
Hoping she remembers his sweet baby smell forever...
