Oceans of Seaweed

oceans of seaweed
adorn driftwood with green pearls...
     gifts from Neptune's queen

To This Heaven

Life carries us along
Like red driftwood
To a place, a point
To nowhere, a journey
To this heaven, with no
Beginning and no end

Sequence-A Poet's Lament

A
crackle
of dead wood-
an unfinished
book,
as
driftwood
on the strand,
beginnings no
end-
in
timeless
tedium
of paralysed
thought

Someday Again

driftwood--
                                                    someday again
                                                  another shoreline

A Young Man

There was once a young man who stood.
He said, "See the great parenthood!"
It was quite great,
But not coordinate,
He couldn't say no to the driftwood.

Driftwood

Just lay there in the sun
The colors lovingly fade 
From slate, to white to coal 
Rest there, listen to the waves 
You've worked so hard
And traveled such a long way from home

Unwritten

woven
        words
fabrcated,
degenerate
     as
         driftwood-
sodden
stained
weaving
wavering
         silent
         shadows
foredoomed,
lost
in
the infinite

Driftwood - A Brief Fantasy Adventure

sculptured hobo of the sea
a pirate’s swashbuckling adventure
siren, kraken, leviathan
or some other ocean creature
but now enjoying retirement
as peaceful a garden feature

- Haiku X 354 - waterway -

                                           river lush and rich
                                    driftwood delays its journey -
                                       the mountain snow melts

After the Storm

Driftwood on white sand, adorned by coquina shells and bits of seaweed, remains of the storm's high tides -- a hurricane rage décor.

Untitled

Along comes thoughtless driftwood;
lighter than a feather, yet as strong as the river
it came from.    Magickal & smooth,
Carved from the endless current.
Just like bones & blood.

the nest by the sea
                                           under cover of driftwood -

At the Seashore

natural wonders
are seldom too expensive
pretty seashells found

porpoises playing
flocks of gulls in formation
whitecaps rolling in

pieces of driftwood
dunes replete with palmetto
footprints in the sand

Fire

City lights are diamantes
On a black-sand beach  

The bonfire is a driftwood woman
With shattered bones and teeth

We are a 
                Clan
That sends gunpowder to the sea

Fireworks are water globes
That implode

Just out of reach

The Santiam Graveyard

Phantoms eerie, 
burned and blackened
arms upraised in supplication
bent and broken, beckoning.
Driftwood garbed they testify
in shrouded mist, in foggy sky 
Woodland graveyard, petrified
Silent screams 
assault the senses
“Who says fire cleanses”

Drowning

I drowned in the ocean of tranquilly
I was like driftwood
turning deeply in the empathic sea

My orbs
became my listening device
soft mud preserved my rib cage

In the eyes of the believer
I sojourn  meekly
anointing the hereafter
hungry like Lazarus
with my long knows

Seaside Valentine

fine grains 
of warm sugar sand
blown by a soft sea breeze
pelleted our feet 
as we ran
to the foaming surf
gulls drifted overhead
red sun slowly sank
heart with arrow 
and our initials
drawn in the sand
driftwood fire
embers floated 
to kiss the sky
wine, smiles
embrace, love
forever

She Set Me a Flame

She set me a flame ! 

A Gergeous Flame - set my heart on fire!
A Delicious Heat - filled me with desire.
 
A Burning Ember - became by September.
A beautiful Image - it's all I have to remember

A piece of Driftwood,
lying upon the edges of ?, 
the ever moving river of life.

Lasting Memories

She
recalls
her childhood
down on the beach ~
Lasting memories
of driftwood and rock pools ~
Thoughts of family bonding 
swell her eyes, tears soak in her past ~
Born waves caress her faintly lain steps ~
No trace of her message in a bottle.
