The billows roll free
Upon the South Sea.
An albatross sleeps on the wing.
The tide rushes in,
A song’s on the wind--
A sea chantey mariners sing.

Candlestick Lighthouse high on hill
On coast near San Francisco still
Light saves lives with a bright strong will
Tallest of west coast sea towers
A beacon to stand ocean’s chill
Been guiding mariners from ill

bright beacon of hope
warning of treacherous shoals
guides mariners home

A shaft of light gleams,
Through the murky illusions:
Rocky coast divulged.
A mariners guide,
Through the treacherous coastline:
A symbol of home.

In their sturdy ships the mariners
Were guided by the ancient stars.
Ensuring that man and beast may feed,
Earth nurtures each and every seed.
A sea so placid safe and warm
Belches up wild demons in a storm.

Graves for mariners,
leaning towards the sea,
a lot lop-sided
as if seasick
Gravely now,
we went towards the graves,
the sea churning,
then marinating green

Whoops. Mariners lost
again yesterday.
to God we would pray
make Mariners better play
do day after day
empty is each store
are not around anymore
rich replaced by poor
what we would suggest
have gained much growing unrest
failed to pass each test
threw curve with a spin
my Mariners lost again
when should win win win

DICK
Big whale Dick
Poor soul red hollows
Death, harpoon, strikes
HARPOON STRIKES
Harpoon strikes
The whale wails
A little water added to the brine
SEA BRINE
Whale's blood
warm as your daughter
Your harpoon kills her sibling
SIBLING
My whale brother
Is your meat so soft?
Your fat lights Faroe.

dusted canyons
wild children play
blackbird finding its way home
Jesus said i should take more care
wanderings to smooth the soul
Solitude my melancholy way
who tussles these days?
I do not understand
what it is I wait for?
Leitmotifs are aplenty
sounds are driving us
we become the score
wrapping through the empty years
laughing at the tears inside
of a mariners ghost.

The Smeaton Eddystone's architecture
First lighthouse protecting navigators
Light blinking, pulsating, luminously
Loud foghorn resounding resonantly
Guides shipwrecked mariners vigilantly
Or swarthy seafarers incessantly
On oceans perilous, tempestuous
A sailor’s salvation eternally

Myriads of murmuring marine maidens
Musically musing, making mariners mad;
Floating or frolicking freely and feeding
Feverish fishermen’s fleshly fantasies.
Sensually swimming silvery seductresses
Stripping slobbering sailors of their senses.
Inveigling and inspiring them to inundate the waters
In instant insanity in pursuit of Neptune’s daughters.
To some this may come as a shocker:
Mermaids lured them into Davy Jones’ locker.

Rhyme
The Ocean has no conscience,
no judgment, joy, or hate
She dances with you to her beat
in stirring waves of fate
With reverence you may enter
all blessings on the day
But just one slip and she reminds
what ancient mariners say…
“Red sky at morning, sailors take warning
red sky at night, sailors delight”
Her message best taken when early to bed
life in the balance, her power to dread
(Rosemont Pennsylvania: June, 2022)

She came aboard my sinking ship
a death blow to the bow,
attempts to bail and keep afloat
this mariners tattered sails.
Plot a new course and navigate
in storms and angry seas,
this vessel lists in the swells
life plundered by piracy.
Now this new maidens charge
is to steer starboard side,
for a new sheltered port
with rising tides.
This once scuttled ship
ill winds cast adrift,
is now tacking leeward
this sailors gift!

Know God Never Denies
We know that God never denies,
My oh my how time always flies;
For His sake;
Prayer will make;
Much faster than we did realize;
A soldier fighting in a field dies.

Limerick
When we first saw Columbus struggling ashore,
we were mildly amused.
Later, more well marinated mariners
brought with them
garlic, olive oil and tomatoes,
all of which we had no use for -
the tomatoes gave us acid reflux.
When they offered to feed us
an ugly and bitter edible
they called ‘broccoli,’
we knew
that we had to make war upon them.
No use!
In the end, we were defeated;
their garlic breath was too strong,
their pizza pie way too delicious.
