dark clouds gathering
cresting white waves pound damp sands
songbirds stay silent
A sunset majestic beyond compare
A rainbow arcing in mid-air
A crescendo of waves foaming, cresting
Nature's canvas so powerfully arresting
Shining through the light on the water gleaming
Golden jewelry sparkles like diamonds cresting
Waves o’er waves of tapestry woven, breathing
Ocean is living
creamy cheesecake inches deep
red strawberry crowned,
mounds of whipped chocolate fluff
cresting almond cake,
maple pecan pie
sticky crunch-
yum!

She dreams of burning forests,
Waves of flames cresting the earth.
All what once was...ablaze.
A firestorm of visions,
Haunt her soul from ease.
Nestled in these ashes,
Rests the end time...predictions.
Summer lover's moon shyly enclosed in
silvered clouds,
a honeyed recollection,
white caps of memory waves,
cresting, curling dreamily,
a tide under eve's star canopy,
coupled in enchantment,
entwined on the beach. ~
steady warming sun
shimmering waves cresting spray
flock of flying fish

Breaking waves
Cresting in chaos
Crashing upon the shore
Softening
Amid the frothing surf
Slowly softening
Retreating
Slipping beneath
The unseen rise
Of another
Forming wave
Destined
To redefine
The hard contours
Of resistance
Things beyond description
Deemed poetic lay….
‘A golden oak
On an October day’
‘The perfect form
Of a cresting wave’
‘The laughter of toddlers
As they run and play’
‘A Mozart concerto
—in its timeless way’
(Dallas Texas: June, 2018)

In the desert I sleep,
under the sun it creeps,
slithering in the dune,
Cresting waves in its wake,
I dream crimson dreams,
Of red light twisting,
like a serpent it eases,
on the earth it pleases,
over my burning body,
fangs strike plunging,
forever desert dreaming.
When dreams fade away
The heart is lost
To the sea of cold permanence
As cresting waves
Carry, but to no destination
The eternal sea
That allows the misery of the heart
Must end, breaking on the rocks
Allowing the dreams
To hopefully make land and survive
Presence dissolved
Cresting watery fingers awash
Impressions in the sands
This cynical acquaintance
Running away
From flawless memories
In their laughter’s echo
I sat and watched
As my childhood castles
Were drank away
By the Atlantics thirst
Everyday one summer
The wave rolled in on a gentle wind
A promise born, soon to begin
The plea of love across your face
My heart's tide did surely grace
Cresting now, this fulsome wave
With deepest eyes of blue engraved
Breaking softly on the shore
Of love eternal, evermore
galloping waves cresting the shore
wild white horses riding
blue sea
nature’s beauty that I adore
tides ebbing and flowing
to me

Contest - Memento of Water – Nette Onclaud
Syllables checked with how many syllables 8,6,2,8,6,2
River boats
drop down into sunken fog,
return
as buoyant as swimming seagulls.
A deep diving sky
spindrifts the hulls,
decks now ship airy waves
from far away seas.
The craft ride high and low
on this muted swell,
a cresting last beheld
in a shipwrecked China teacup.
It was after the times of mules
Irish slave contracts
Inside of the states of minds
Of those who fled from effort
Abandoning life in infancy
Creating devastation
And fermenting grew, cresting above skies
Literatures from slaves
Unwilling to begin Roman tongues
A time before the Republic
DESCENT OF THE GEESE
defying levitation,
they wangled wings in unison-
breaking over the cresting waves
as sundown beckoned loneliness
war, starvation, hypocrisy,
nothing of man mattered,
only encumbered rest was real
no expectation, no disappointments
secure together, rest, assured
Behold the blue seaswell
That lifts itself
A glassy morning
Out of the sea's heaving breast:
The open ocean wave
That draws itself
Across the rock reef
Cresting toward the fine pitch
That exhilirates the very air
With a perfect mane of spray
-Big Sur
Rising tall
in the thicket,
cresting with
force nestled
behind matted
fur and eight
fresh gashes
scabbing
firm,
the elder
intimidates
with rattling
force only
guttural
pronouncements
designed to
instill fear
or
spark
resolve,
pivoting
an element
of battle that
shatters poise.
A river of dreams courses the mind, cresting and flowing
Long lost memories swirl in her midst ~ nostalgic wishes
Swept by wonder's tides, we are carried from reality's shore.
Concepts and visions cresting
Adrift upon the wind of mind
In the recesses we fear of to speak
Within there the storms fury rises
Blasting away the starkness of thought
Released this unhindered internal mêlée
Then…residing in a calming respite
It sits alone ignored
An ideological dogma
Topsy-Turvy Love
Love turns the world upside down
slows the axial rotation
draws out passion’s sunset
compresses the hours together
shrinks the horizon to one face
cresting pillowed mountains.

Unspoken words are deafening and I am blind
Wading through your thoughts I am lost
Like a cresting wave I know we are close
Will we reach our island of thoughtful chatter?
Where weeks seem like minutes and we are lost in each other
Or will it be where minutes seem like weeks and we are simply
LOST
Shimmering moonlight on the sea
Dancing a waltz in meter three
Rising then cresting then falling again
Time and tide moving since no one knows when
Sailing the world on boat made for two
No destination except oceans blue
Let the cares and the worries all float away
And together watch sunsets at the end of the day
