Hideous scaly monster

Moon glow on the beach
waves kissing lagoons soft shore
gentle winds flowing

Mother appears there
her shell hides life to bury
joy from distant love

Good Morning!
Creatures, crawlers
Goblins, grass, grazers
Roots heaped on trash
Life flowing above
Flowing underneath
Life flowing through death
And spaces beneath
Dazed dreamers
Crazed lagoons
Dancing daffodils 
All seasons in bloom...

Four lines -- seven, eight, nine:*
 kaleidoscopic kangaroo
 leaping 'cross lagoons of blue
    splashed peripatetic porcupine
    who shot a quill at her behind

A giant red moon appears every seven years 
Over blue lakes and shallow lagoons 
Over faithful flocks of yodeling loons 
Over the peaceful shores and white dunes
Across the Cameroons 
You can hear the tune of the yodeling loon. 
every seven years under the giant red moon....

Lately I have likely been leaning
Towards penning lots of lofty lines
And start looking for lonely lagoons
To pick laurels, lilacs and lilies
Frogs leaping into languid, lush ponds
Ducks landing lightly on silent lakes
Lilting laments from past lovely times
Images of lost lands lingering on...

A giant red moon appears. 
every twenty-seven years
during the month of June
Over blue lakes and shallow lagoons 
Over faithful flocks of yodeling loons 
Over the peaceful shores and white dunes
Across the Cameroons 
You can hear the tune of the yodeling loon. 
every twenty-seven years under the giant red moon....

Celestial
hues
capture the galactic dance
of angels,

   Moon drenched lagoons
caress the coral  stars
where silent legends
fall,

come with me
and  see,
where endless grandeur
walks the beach 
of
God,

come  sing our souls  
beside the 
great
and changing 
sea.,

and free,

the uncoiled
spirit 
   of 
  our
    love....

Close by my side,
slept sound through the night,
a form fine as wine 
wrenching rich with all might.

And his eyes – blue lagoons! 
like two watery moons,
won’t neglect to protect 
as fast over me loom.

But love perplexed will follow next,
as by his act, my soul left vexed…
or lack of act is the matter of fact!
as he pushed me aside for a night of no sex....

I'm Happy

I'm happy
happy in this dark
warm beneath warmth
in meanderings of slow music
a maze of secrets shutting and opening
as cozy duvets dropped by benevolent mothers
sinking in my dreams
limbs soaked in blue sunlit lagoons
I'm a million miles from morning
in a hundred miles of night
sometimes I see clearly
before the morning 
I sometimes see the light...

I've spent years 
and several centuries 
swimming and paddling 
across, beyond and beneath 
the seven seas, lagoons and crystal oceans 
on all portions of the earth 
searching for you
waiting for you 
and trying to feel your presence 
but now 
we have finally 
found each other 
we shall promise 
never to leave each other
stranded again 
for several more centuries to come...

under a  doting amber moon
beneath rolling crescent waves
the mermaid of his dreams
sways gracefully in rhythm
with his vacillating moods
capriciously oscillating
from depths to
crystal blue lagoons

Crumble
brothels sprout
flesh peddlers collect their fees
selling daughters
in twos and threes
Lopez or Diaz
lazy or defiant
escaped
in polluted lagoons
the virus spreads

Dancing with the dead
priests absolve the devils
in their mist
Pilar sold her virginity
for a few bars of gold
wrapped in an old ladies hatred
she murdered her vows

Mexico is a land of smiles
the knife only glints
in the Aztec sun
as they bury you
after eating your heart...

Kakadu Wetlands is home to three million waterbirds
From May to October it houses the comb-crested jacana
Jabirk, egrets and brolga also take their respite here
Macquarie Marshes are used by the Wayilwan people.

They use the Macquarie for burial grounds and ceremonies.
Interconnecting lagoons and channels of Mareeba are bird-friendly.
They give sanctuary to the Australian pelican and crested tern.
Also the threatened home-southern bell frog. Wetlands rule!...

(Valentine's Collection)

50.

I drown within your most beautiful eyes,
through wonderful visions of precious love.
What visions I shall come to visualised,
come my beloved to Heaven above.
Sapphire eyes do become my paradise,
I now join your dreams, my beautiful dove.

I now swim within your lagoons of blue,
entranced by the blue sheen shining love-light,
Ever I see the glory that is you.
I lose myself in your eyes shining bright,
you are my delight.
