Swimming with the pack....

Bon voyage. Out to sea. A luxury cruise.
Out to sea. Things UNKNOWN about this sea.
Cruising away with warmth in tow 

One serene ocean was seen
While venturing out alone on deck
An orca had been noticed, a 
KILLER WHALE  in its natural home.

A habitat mostly UNKNOWN.
Bon voyage killer whale 
BE AT PEACE...

Love is an emotion
The ship set sail
Into the ocean
Killer whale

Love is a feeling
Mixed into a platter
Healthy healing
Bright cake batter

Love is an escape
From anger that we hate
Nicely tamed prime apes
Batter at home plate

Love is an emotion
Sailing in the ocean
The ocean of feelings
Mental health healing...

I am 
A curious seahorse
Of copper and evergreen
Skittering past
Gaping jaws
Of a killer whale

An angry crawdad
Clicking my 
Castanet claws
At sandaled toes 
Gliding by

A scrambled message
On a cellular phone
With whirs and clicks
Baffling the receiver
But concealing an SOS

To look into my 
Stained glass eyes
Is to see the quiver
Of an empty heart....

I am a killer whale
Black and white

Riding on a wave 
On a clear, moonlit night

I splish and I splash
Then I come up for air and
I go back down
To my friends way down there

I swim and I dive
Then I look around and
I see everyone has left me down
                                            down
                                                 down in the deep, dark sea....

Black like a rare diamond.
Perfectly sculpted.
White as a snowy peek .
Reflecting off the glistening waves.
Your beauty and grace challenge us.
Mostly free, we morn for your captured brothers.
Gliding and leaping through the blue.
Chasing your soul mates protecting your tribe.
Your song is herd for miles deep.
Echoing on the icebergs.
You are magnificent, alluring.
Teasing us with your glance.
Swim far Orca be free...

Dragon spines and flames
Burn away you animals!
Cook your own skin!
Fry your eyes!

Dragon Kron dives through the sky
flames combust in its nose
flames burn its prey
eating it with one bite

Dragon Kron flies towards
China, Taiwan and Japan
Sometimes to Europe too
And it burns all the matter around

Like sharks swimming in independence
Dragon Kron dives in again and again
Its back spines dive like a killer whale fin
Spine by spine it dives...

The spine of a hedgehog,
The horn of a stag, 
The teeth of an eel,
The dearth of a seal.

Inside us all, the killer whale,
Searching, fishing its bale; 
Settling, cradling the loser,
In a bold, deluded red blazer.

Packing the great white,
Into cheeks’ thatched might,
Squid freezes the past time,
For one more near rhyme.

Avoiding the fiery apex,
Large seals call and flex,
Because our first thought,
Is the other I bought.
