Crashing waves against the shore

At night I often effortlessly levitate
No other sensation can thus liberate

As floating high over rivers and hills
Lighthouses and white windmills

Just before I wake I seem to gravitate
I would rather return to my dream state...

on rocky coastlines
stand historic lighthouses
beacons of safety

protectors of ships
their lights shine far out to sea
upon granite shores

keeping watch each night
sentinels stand on duty
making safe the way

upon the skin of the drunk earth 
The black fear breaks the column of the blue lightes
And the lighthouses of the white sea ,
Sinking in the ridiculous anger
And the rebellious love crying above space of the tired universe
And breaks my horizon mania ....

lighthouses joy peace 
butterflies bloom with soul clouds
sailors sing with seas

Stately lighthouses
   Casting their beacons abroad
      Comfort for old salts

A finger of light
   Warning of treacherous shoals
      Guides seafaring souls

I love you to no finite end
More than I can comprehend
So when you say that that's not true,
Imagine the pain you put me through

You are the lighthouse and I'm the ship's crew
I'm left in turmoil without the light from you
So hold me close and keep me near,
We can be each others' lighthouses in the seas of fear...

The coastal lighthouses, intervening
in many dangerous undercurrents. 
it's beacon interacts vigorously 
as vessel realigns, manoeuvring
past many obstacles undistinguished 
by any obvious visionary. 
So sailing faultlessly, continuing 
home without treacherous impediments

I’m standing solemnly contemplating 
How ageing lighthouses independents
Have become Maritimes normality 
With beacons becoming statutory 

Now standing shimmering silhouetted
You’re shining flawlessly undemanding
The hopeful monument oblivious 
To seamen’s abounding adorations

You can wrap it, but with 
Only a bow, nothing more.

You can see it from a far,
As it’s lights shine bright.

You can’t hold it in your hands,
But surely it will guide you.

Follow this light, your gift,
To you, my heart and soul.

This house, a gift for you,
Filled always with much joy.

Rough waters you’ll have no
More, Serenity waits at 

YOUR LIGHTHOUSES DOOR…...

Most poets are God's, warm sunlight 
Brightening my soul, this cold wintry, January night!

The difference you make in my life, completes me like no other.
Constantly making me, star-ponder.

A life of introspection and exceptional serenity.
You are lighthouses, helping me on a ship of self-discovery.

visions of atmosphere
scattered illuminate
faintly lid, the world is blear
the latitude of nighttime sky
flaunts itself on a silhouette pier
evening gives up to nautical dusk
sightings of air on skin are brusk
still there’s a residue
of eerie mystic hue
covering wet rocks
lighthouses through and through
deserted cityscapes
queues of sea mews
moments of magic
making the time subdue
moments of faraway
mists tinged gold and blue...

Mossy thresholds open,
mud slips into small lighthouses
on the shoreline of the season.

Backyard rockpools 
become repositories of sunshine.
Roots and puddles 
congregate in underground weddings.
Lost towns emerge to be found.

A raining wash rinses the deep surfaces,
teases the earth ajar,
the ground surrenders to fulfill a promise, 
a warming breath patches green sleeves, 
plants green vowels
in the sylvan silt and the softening....

My circle is of
    fruitflies, houseflies, mosquitos
    squirrels, chipmunks, possums
    spiders, crickets, ants
    parakeets, seagulls, geese

This dance is absent without you
    hair, glasses, smile
    shirt, pants, shoes
    laugh, giggle, talk

Together we were one
    hugs, handholding, cuddles
    rollerblading, bicycling, racquetball
    car rides, lighthouses, kayaking
    fishing, dinners, parenting

Shells of wonder trapped below the sand
Driftwood floating ashore
Children playing
People sun bathing 

Fires at night under the moonlight
Whispers of waves in and out
Stars capturing the eyes
Messages sent across the ocean

Placed in a bottle for someone to find
Seals barking in tune
Mermaids hidden below the sea
Pirate ships from long ago

Tales written lost at sea
Lighthouses spinning guiding the way
Blue and green waters catch the eyes
Romance whispered by two...
