Short Coves Poems

She must of been,
The mist,
The way her sweet love,
Glides,
With its wings,
Into the coves,
And meadows,
Of our souls

from derelict weeds
fair blossoms shyly peek out-
something amazing:	
talents sprout from the dark coves,
giving sweet surprise to all...

Rain falling with all it's 
Patterns bestowed
Watching ground targets
Seeds calling
Root pouting coves
Stretching limbs in weakness
Meeting beginnings 
Steepness
Peeking trough
Descriptive stories told...

Sail through the veil,
Chasing a mermaid’s tail,
Along waves through troves
And rocky coves.

Sail through the veil,
Chasing a fairytale.
Seems I found the world of my dreams,
As my ship is sunken by oceanic seams....

ghostly beluga whales
shy and discerning
hide out in coves

manatees giggle their secrets
their calves are frisky and open

dolphins swim toward the boats
making friends with everyone

sharks wait for lunch
hoping to catch a whiff of blood...

Water wives live sheltered lives
Amongst the coves where pirates rove

Daily catch is makers match
Where red hot stoves hide fresh baked loaves

Water men are thick and thin
So often strove where shipmates hove

Water child is often wild
The treasure trove where pirates roved

The petals’
Soft streaming
Aloft dreaming
Colors painted in mind
Lovers intertwined

Their taintless imaginations
Drainless infatuations
Obsessions with my feet
Reflections deep

Coves upon which
They meditate
Groves whereat
They levitate

Like sparkles, pink
Heartful sync with love
Ahhh!!!

Tides wash over painted toes.
Rum rains down;Reptiles sun.
Ocean waves; Oracles with desired lies.
Palm treed Paradise with insects.
Islands with beautiful barefooted influences
Careless days and nights; secret caves and coves.
Abundant atmosphere; fruited alcohol attractions.
Lovers under the lagoon's night sky.

I sat upon a troubled shore,
waves lashing on the sand.
The rocky coves cry out for help
and demons laugh content.

Alone I sat upon this shore
just me and all that’s mis –
of  fortune, of take, of like, of hap –
And demons laugh content.

And, in this turmoil realize:
This shore has seen, but one.
And fills me up, with sweet bye-byes
to demons that I’ve lent....

Nothing seems as ugly as the life itself
running through the denizens of meager coves

This life is dull, futile and colorless
withered and delusive to the time it ends

And they say this life is easy

Coaxes and hoaxes; this life of yours

Life seems to have given you a sense of urgency
and you say this life is easy

Nothing is more melodramatic than this
nothing, almost nothing

But still we live to say life isn't easy, is it?...

Into a great silver realm of night I go,

   and strange paths I find winding

   whither I stroll;

Jutting spear-fences cutting, tipped

   frozen cold,

   against a misted moon;

Twinkling snow on the death of eve,

When stray cats envy the warm windows....

And strangers in little alien-coves

   seek their familiar front-door homes,

   sometimes, I too

   (suddenly)

   feel alone

   winding down strange paths,

   whither I stroll...

Capri

roofless cubes, spidery with wire,
cakes of azure and enzian;
above at the Villa San Michele
Rilke smiles down at the broken beaches,
at coves of defiant waves, compacted sea

Pompeii

a chessboard of honest stones
open to a sky of hushed shouts;
we huddle in a boned frame
of another life, a stopped day

Napoli

warm and secret, olive-eyed
an infinite beauty makes a new face
as we gaze ape-like from our bus;
an act of moment...
