Making uneven faces as you sit displeased 
Something unsweet has you sour
With adoration.I try to console 
Beginning to hold, shockingly pushed away
What has become of us?
The navigators have become lost 
This quest has changed us dramatically...

Shades of fall, sounds of autumn
Jutting rocks witnesses of constant change
Beneath clouds of white amid expanses of
Blue reflected in rippling flows straining
Against earthen banks like traffic cops or
Standing navigators, deciding direction
Yet yielding to persistence as
Dirt joins water
Disrupting vision
Blurring the future...

The Lighthouse


Splash amidst plethora hullabaloo,
Dark skies reflecting illuminate,
Act beacons, vigilant navigators,
Mask lighthouse's glistening magnificence,
Guides marines, bewildered mystifying,
Roars rise , evanesce scintillation,
Deep ocean heritage disparages,
Waves erode abyssal operations !

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

 Wind-driven, deceptive, mysterious,
cries vixen's pulsating, debauchery
with haunting arias, mesmerizing!
The lighthouse, fearlessly, captivated,
by siren's symphonic orchestrations 
shines brighter, exclaiming calamity!
She cautions vigilant navigators...
fog's mirage masquerades mortality!..

The voice of hate

I've heard of late

Has sunk me down in terror


A crippled ship

I drift the depths 

Of navigators error



Once bathed in light

I'm now undone

Left struggling in the dark


My memory turns

To days far gone

When the voice was of a lark



So tortured life

Now ends in strife

I gasp in vain for breath


Just left alone

Froze to the bone

I'm shaking myself to death.
