Scarred to be alone,
Always lonely
Deep,
Underneath,
Blue ocean,
Not to be missed,
Alone,
Just you”

Yours,
Dylan to Poseidon, my lover...

To be with you,
Only you,
Forever,
Just you,
Miss you a lot,
Don’t know what to do,
I’m Dylan,
Your lover forever,
My only desire Poseidon,...

sing out loud 
Poseidon
hold up your trident
juggernauts request to sail
through
your
white cliffs
but 
jagged waters
where
we
entered 
Poseidon's Gateway...

Jejudo (Jeju Islands, Korea)
Your rugged
Volcanic coastline
Rising above the sea and
Aligning your giant chess pieces
At the shore, checkmating the God of Poseidon...

I'm good at two things
but I don't know how to describe them

And they clash with the things that I'm bad at
Poseidon

Athena, who knows?
Blows flow, heaven

or something else....

 Poseidon
hold your trident
up high with jubilee
we hear the voice
that fill 
the dark wine sea
make the tides swell
with loyalty
from the thrust of your
gaint fish tail...

Poseidon
What sweet gift
You giveth
Unto me
This beautiful handmaiden
From the deep sea
How can
I love her
Faithfully
When she cometh by sea
While I cometh by land
The gift that you gave...

Facing west
Flaming gold descends 
Light extinguished
She sleeps with Poseidon

Phoebe rises from Poseidon's seat
Silver light on Erebus' shadow
Rebirth promise of beginnings
Herald of the dawn...

Green 
Hulk rise
From Ocean's
Deepest depth bring
The Big Apple hope
Like an ancient Phoenix
Brought life to which died by flames
As Father Time _ Poseidon watch
To see if this resurrection starts 
A whole new era__ blessed golden life...

The old gods were aliens
Imparting knowledge from the sun

They built the ancient wonders
and once again they'll come

Tonight I'll climb the fence
at the temple of Poseidon

I'll be waiting
While the world is sleeping
- Tomorrow I'll be gone...

A great man once stated, 
"A man is god in ruins."
I took this to heart
scribbled it on papyrus.

and put it in the cradling hands of Poseidon.
And thought to myself, 

"If someone reads this and gives it back to Neptune
How epic it would become."...

Pegasus in jubilation
Earmarks it’s own constellation
The unique winged horse from heaven 
Statue at Salzburg, earth haven
No wonder, son of Poseidon

Splashing, thrashing, wildly bashing
     rages the rolling sea 
like half-tortured Poseidon drowned 
     in waves of misery!

In tempestuous, dark dead of night, 
     a vessel from afar
plows through by dim, faint, speckled glow 
     of north's Polaris star......

You are my passion 
You are my Poseidon

My depth of my despair
My depth of infinity

You are my weakness 
You are my bane

My fear of destruction 
My heart's fierce desperation 

You leave me unfastened 
You are my memory the memory of me

You are me my broken reflection...

flippant great white was turned into a peninsula by Poseidon.
others protested on her behalf, but she was happy about it;
now she would be immortal
people would visit her for centuries.
her relatives faded away, or died one at a time.
she remains Shark Rock, a favorite of children.

The ancient Gods – Hades, Zeus, Jupiter, Poseidon did not know what to do.
They could not control the goddesses, and this made them crabby and blue.
The Goddesses laughed at their “master’s confusion. Let me laugh here.
In feminine “collusion” they made these whipped call them honey and dear....

Flowers bloom within garden of hearts
Lovers swim through sea of tears
One and only One Light liberating
We wrestled with Poseidon from oblivion.
Enter zephyr breeze of rebirth -
Roses or arrows, we choose the clearing, as
Song of rain beneath skylight, forgave.

(Inspired by: Miley Sirus', "Flowers"

Praised as God of the sea
Powerful lord of earth
Possessions came his way
Pushed the land to cause quake
Pitched the weapon trident
Perhaps made of fish spear
Proud father of winged horse.

Named after the Roman God of the Sea 
Eternal is its beauty like the blue we cannot see 
Poseidon to the Greek, ice giant in reality 
Triton, the Luna of its land, above in its sky 
Under the ice is only a mystery 
No man has travelled thus far 
Eternal its beauty, foreign its reach

I’d rather be found,
on top a mountain
to see a landscape,
no artist could paint.

I'd rather be seen 
in clear blue water,
warmed by the equator,
no pool can imitate.

I want to sail oceans,
me against Poseidon.
to fly like Icarus,
and sore into the blue.

But I am Tantalus,
trapped by my own chains,
my wings are burning,
and I drown....

Neptune will cry for our death 
Fragments of sea blood 
Temblor of regards 
Condolences from Poseidon 
Exhaling ciaos, inhaling mists 
And all else Jupiter, once more 
 
All yellow bleeds fire 
None could inhume his dolour 
Grams of sorrow, forcely collected 
Twining clouds and forming seas 
Autarkic trumpets would sing  
As colors received by Uranus...

Sleep, Lord Poseidon,
Deep, everlasting sleep
While sailors watch with bated breath

Old planking creaks -
The pitiable, splintering sound -
Old planking creaks

Old sailor,
Splintery-kneed old sailor,
Keeps his watch

With ever a thought of life's futility,
Down deep,
Where dolphins stay

But Lord Poseidon never sleeps
And dolphins play.....
And play...

Oh when I go dreaming 
Off to the River of Gods 
To Easter Island 
To the Palace of Minos 
To the Temple of Poseidon 
To the Acropolis 

Youth and Demon Death 
To the Gate of the Lion 
To the Gate of the Fish 
Off to the horizon 
Off to Mount Everest 

To the Sea of Tranquility 
To the soft sands 
To my lover’s arms 
With you I will go 
Until all is gone...

A woman's heart is like an ocean;

As strong, as vast, and as mysterious as the deepest sea.

Many waves flow on her tides, and even for the bravest of souls her currents can either carry you to new horizons, or capsize you to the most bismal abyss.

For within her depths are both wonder & treachery. An enigma that even Poseidon would hesitate to tread.
