Inside of Me

In the immensity of my heart,
       a barren field of light ...
       A profound unquiet sea never
       before sailed ...

Across the face of an ember sun
A boat cloud sailed,
From out of gray
Itself did show
A cargo vessel
Bound for things West way.

Used all her efforts for you 
Begged humbly fate
Nourished her thirsty hearts 
Sailed before wind then, won you.

But false expectations help that hope stay afloat.
Disappointed.
Patience, help hold that sailed boat.

the endless sky
till dawn they flew
the morning dew
that mysterious man
was Peter Pan.

In Georgia to teach

And vowed himself wedded that day

I knew a seafaring goat
Who sailed in a bathtub boat
Oddest boat ever seen
And he was always very clean 
Strange that bathtub could float

Sail On

I watched the beautiful sky
As it seems to meet
With the water
While I sailed across
The ocean blue with breeze
That flows with the wind

I sailed from sea to shining sea,
To see what I could see,
But, what I saw,
Was not much at all,
So how can I ever be,
All I could ever be?

Whilst watching the weather on Zoom
A casket sailed by in the gloom
Now who would condone
Homes in a Flood Zone?
Is FEMA financing your doom?

Think that ships sailed

Never to return….

Do Not Read Aloud

When the Isle of Man Master Baitor
Got a gig on an Irish freighter
To Scotland they sailed
Until they were hailed 
When seamen splashed an aviator

Prayers, jokes, fashion show sailed
Gourmet food, music...
Mellow; poetic treats,
Women's laughter laced sweet.

The woman of his heart was named Jane
Some would say she was quite plain
But in Jacks heart
She was sweet and tart
Together they sailed through the rain

There I stood in tux and tails
  Her lovely face still veiled
Demure in tantalizing gown...

and left me behind

a ship has sailed
tears flowing
a labored breath 
upon my cheek

off in the distance
dark shadows looming
out to sea her image fading

a ship has sailed

Slowly sailed by and came in view
Of people sitting by a lake
Eating sandwiches and fancy cake
What a leisurely thing to do

Gently wooed from turquoise moorings
      Daydreams sailed to mist skirted realms
           Excursions of a whimseyed mind
