Simple ways
Are always best
If you
Live you life
Best you know how
Otherwise
All is lost
Tomorrow...

Hold me.
My heart's adrift.
Now hard aground, torn sails. 
Can we just once sail WITH the tide?
Again?...

sails full wind buffets my face
our sailboat cuts through the waves
tiller guides spinnaker flies
we go with the wind...

A lonely sailboat. 
poised over the ocean's width 
grasping his freedom

Slippery squat salamander squinding,
Sucking, slurping under my sailboat. 
Deviously deciding a dindling,
Grotesque gargoyle giants squind your throat!...

A man named Noah once built a sailboat
so large people said it would never float.
But the waters they rose,
the doors he hurried to close,
then did he look at his neighbors and gloat....

blue and white sailboat
      rocking on the water’s edge
             rippling reflection
    waits for the next ride to start
     freed by the wind on the lake

By the sea
in a clear morning, i
opened the doors of perception
and made an inspired poem...
delivered it to the sea
as a vibrant wave
As a manned sailboat
by sailor verses
to succeed all
oceans... !...

Will Not Receive My Backing

Trump will not receive any of my backing,
While from him are receiving a shellacking;
Total trouble make;
Being breath taker;
Sailboat turned over after all of  his tacking.

From primal atavism
            Navigating the procela
            with strong courage and faith
              sailboat will sail

              Neptune Counterpart
              tame dark sea
              ancient pirogue raft...

You left me kissing the ocean,
Never constant, changing fast.

I looked into the mirror this morning,
Blue, like the ocean, wide and vast,

But cracked like an addict,
A sailboat, a young bone,

Yet strong as deep roots,
And cursed: Forever Alone...

Yo ho ho and a bottle of fun
Sailboat swirls into sight, carrying one.
He is looking at the dock, for his lady love
Seagulls, a frog, and a turtle dove

Where would she be?
Is she in the next port?
Did she forget she was meeting me?
A voice yelled “Hey Sport!”...

New York City
sparkles in the sunshine
four minute ferry ride
too fast too fast
wish I owned a sailboat to to under bridges up to West Point
Linger in the bay
a long slow aimless journey
along the mighty Hudson round the bend then
to see the city
from Henry Hudson vision
out to sea...

The winds blow gently through the mast
as waves shimmer in sunlit sheen,
the weekend has arrived at last,
the winds blow gently through the mast.

We make ready, dock lines are cast,
sailboat and crew, adventure keen.
The winds blow gently through the mast
as waves shimmer in sunlit sheen....

put me on a sailboat
let me ride the winds of falling darkness
Find a star to tease a memory
Let it rain as the prow dances
swallow hot buttered rum
from a bouncing thermos
Watch the coast light up the clouds
Let the weather take me home
for at least an hour or ten
Tasting freedom at its finest...

Being ancient but 
perky I am not here
for you to bond my

strength, to lock me like
a djinn into a bottle
for making a wish 

as and when you wish
but to guide your sailboat through 
wild, choppy waters,

just to play with your 
hair, to cool the fever and 
kiss the tearful face of yours....

Miscellaneous

The escargots attack,
They hide their guns 
On their spiral shells,
Be careful, Giants.

You think, you think,
But you do nothing,
It’s like watching
A sailboat, set sail
Heading for the moon.

A felucca on the Nile,
A white and round veil,
The soothing under the sun
Won the whole crew....

The waves lapping the hull of the boat.
Gentle rocking, lulling us to sleep.
Anchored offshore, we peacefully float.
Long awaited vacation, out in the deep.

This week is the best week we've ever spent,
Here on the ocean, alone with you.
Falling in love all over again
With you, the sailboat and the ocean blue....

Here there are deserts,
some of sand and sun.
Love can be barren,
like a deal undone.

An oath is given,
fingers wearing gold.
There's no taking back,
a heart that's been sold.

Rise above hardships,
you were meant to be.
A sailboat called love,
on an endless sea.

When two stand as one,
shadow in the sun....

CREATION OF A NEW DAY

bliss
carved from
crimson dawn.
sailboat, glides by,
slow, peaceful – down a tangerine river.
sunshine shyly hides behind the dawn’s smile.
puffy clouds dance,
across warm
tree tops.
bold
hues
of light
permeate
the happy hills -
red, green, blue chorus of hallelujah. ...
