Sitting happy in my bathtub
Sailing my boat 
Smoothly between and around my kneecaps
When she stepped in and capsized me

The Edam's sailing through the air,
and Cheddar skims my head,
I duck to miss the Danish Blue,
but Brie hits me instead.

from all his broken dreams, 

even If, 

his sailing was done,

In muddy puddles and streams.

let us close our eyes then let our love orbit pass these stars two ships now sailing through for we have changed

Seamen

Seven slurring stout sociable salty sailors
Standing stealthily silent
Solo
Sharing secret salacious
Stirring sailing stories.

Sailing

with
full moon
illuminating light
brightening blue ocean

ahead, underway
we drift
in motion

Listen to poem:
sail away with me
and leave the world behind
sweep me off my feet
and let us drift

smoothly to bygone phrases 
laced with time I bow 
to unknown spirits, watching

If tomorrow I am no more,
it will have been a
pleasure in loving you;
if tomorrow you are no more...
I'm taking a singles cruise.

Fantasy

Sailing the oceans of my mind, I dream that I am free,
    No compass tells me where I am, or where I ought to be.

sailing his boat in the dark
and while he got drunk
his little boat sunk
so his hangover went to the shark

Hoping that God does exist
But if He's not 
Then he's been caught
And won't even know what he missed!

carried by a tide of thoughts
a breath of warm wind and

Sailing my boat 
In still waters

When you stepped in

On the turbulent dark seas

Eye Seeker

Hieroglyphic skies
birds draw 
emerald lines
Wind combes
ashen
colored clouds
Sun is
a kite
sailing
Through
open winged
horizon

sails set
starboard sheets taut
west winds ten knots
wheel steady in my hand
not a cloud in the blue sky
fresh salt air
