Short Doubloons Poems

~     Moonlit caps shimmer,


                            crests spilling silver doubloons ...


                  Neptune's coffers, full.     ~

I went to get a bit more done;
Did not intend to stay,
But once begun, turned to such fun,
I  could not tear away.

Though some might fret at lots of sweat,
I find that I’m inure,
And though it flows whene’r I row,
I’m drawn to its allure.

When ev’ry inch is nearly drenched,
And there’s not far to go,
I’ll trade doubloons for macaroons
And bask in their sweet glow....

Gather the crew and drain the lagoon
There's a treasure at the bottom
Gold, silver, pirate doubloons
Ere nightfall we got em'
Post light it's a curse
Low on time here
Be there first
One mere
Hour

Glass
Broken
Was that all?
Fragile treasure
Chest of shards and sand
This myth can’t be measured
Not riches or diamonds grand
Instead there was the gift of time
Metaphors and empty hands remain ...

When the sun above is shining
On the sea, so bright and briney
And each day is a beach day
Where you’re nestled in the dunes
It’s June

When the sun above is blazing
On the beach on which you’re lazing
Seashells are all free shells
And sand dollars are doubloons
It’s June

When the sun above is gleaming
And you find yourself daydreaming
Concrete and chrome turn into seafoam
And your front lawn’s a lagoon
It’s June....

Retreating into my mind, I find, 
Encased like glass, a history of my past, of
Lovers long ago, of bent and broken arrows.
Instant memories envelop me, like a familiar
Quilt, wrapping me into a mummy of guilt,
Unhappiness, pain. . . all feeling remains,
Are stored here, the bones of tears, to
Regret, resurrect, reflect, or entomb. I linger, having
Yet to exhume, the elusive, gold doubloons.
