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

Door 2 Door Sails

An housewife in need of a poke
Was charmed by a sweet-talking bloke
He gave her what-for
Then dashed out the door
Because he mis-spoke and he's broke

See Sea Sails

The sea I sail
Will not prevail
To treasures
Of a new land
The sail I see
Just like me
Holds only wind
In its hand

Premium Member Truth Sails


Fauseties and pleasures of life;
Lies and make-believe;
These make great SALES.

The forever truths of life 
Continue to be blown by the wind,
Forever SAILING across the seas of life.

Set Your Sails High

Set your sails to the sky
Catching every salty blow--
Reason neither how, nor why,
Be content to never know.

Let science find the meaning,
Let the teachers learn the how--
Come about, for you are leaning,
Fix your eyes upon the bow!

As Dawn Sails Away

As the willow bows down
And softly weeps
The cricket in silence
Rests and sleeps

As first light touches
The heads of grass
The cone-flower blushes
At season’s pass

The dewdrop winks
At sun’s fist brow
Shades of pinks
On cloud-ship’s prow

The Child Sails Away

A sun fades
As childhood sailing away
And upon a shore
Adulthood left standing
And out staring
Across a bay of dissapears

Kept withdrawn is the wanting
Of reaching out and waving
But, turns instead to face responsibility
And all its coming years

Dropped Sails

Wind swept fast,
the boat steadied on sails,
they bloated like hell,
and the boat ran ahead,
so far so good,
what would happen,
when winds dropped dead,
and the boat came to halt,
those not ready,
are running fast,
and simply muddied and greedy.

As the Ship Sails

As the ship sails
There may be rough seas
Continue to make adjustments
As you come across the whistling breeze
The journey will be tough
You may find yourself going through treacherous terrain
Rise up through the atmosphere
There is still knowledge for you to gain

As He Sails Far

Yes, he had known horizons far
And set his course by some lone star--
Undimmed the longing in his eyes
For other lands and distant skies.
I'm glad we walked a little way
Nor would I change one thing today;
As it was, so it seemed planned
To bid goodbye, my sailor man.

Premium Member Tattered Sails

Tourists come
to take pictures
our lights no longer shine
foghorns no longer blare
yet we stand
stark white
against angry skies
memories flashing
over distant waters
tattered sailors drifting
through history’s shoals.

Sails of the Solaris

Cruising sails flutter, wind nearly calm, seas of glass reflecting dark Skys filled with scattered pearls.
A gentle breeze fills the empty space like a Wisper in the mist.
Unbound river now bound like waterways rising to the heavens.
Still the Sails flutter softer them a heartbeat guiding the vessel through this Mythical world.

Blackened Sails

How often do these tiny blooms 
Of sorrow fill my soul?
In songs of fire lit long ago
Left burning by the snow.

How often do these solemn dreams
Speak of my troubled soul?
And sink my heart ten depths apart
From blackened tainted ores.

How often does my ship set sail
To silent, placid shores?
But sing to me of sirens' song
To pull me down below.

Sails Torn

Sails torn

Grasped and rent
in the storm
from the ashes
to be reborn
...
We burst
A new and see
The trust we trust
Quenches our thirst

Your breeze, heaven sent
In the strong a fire burn
No flashes 
An uninviting storm

We thirst
To truly be
In ourselves
Seeking trust

I have, there, I went
Lowly borne
Hoping to pass
Avoiding the storm.

Almighty always grants boundless bliss 
Gracious gift alleviates tormenting time 
Euphoric essence charms hurt heart 
Mirage melts within desolate desert 
Sane sight grasps divine domain 
Listless life sails overjoyed ocean
God guides the soul to destination.

Life Sails With Deceptive Pretensions

Sadness is betimes masked by pretence,
And made to believe that "I am fine".
Anger is disguised by fake smiles,
assuring that "Everything is all right".
Envy is engrossed with curses always
but, externally wishing others "Best of luck".
Emotions are dismally manipulated according to circumstances.

Premium Member Stopping By

hwy 93 glides up into
the misty grey 
where billowing black
shifting clouds
shroud the moon
like pirate sails

wheels and metal
destined for what is
forever slipping away

yet drawing nigh

so gentle and so kind

stopping by the horizon
on a summer's eve
"because it could not stop for me" *
(if you read poetry)

sage hills roll on

long after I'm gone


From "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost

Premium Member Unfurl Your Sails

Each fragile dandelion Orb of feathered, tiptoed seeds
Invite Curiosity's breath to loft your prosperous needs

Anchor away La Pinta, La Niña, cast off Santa Maria
Heave hoe your Astrolabe Star ward to map Nirvana

Sail well past your daunting precipice in daring abandon
The Perils of Earth's plate, let emptier thoughts imagine

Be bold.  Lift in weightless step.  Jump ship to board Apollo
Hitch a ride to wander in imagination the coming tomorrow

Premium Member Traveling Winds On a Ship That Sails On the Seas--

Why does the wind travel? Sail on ride on ship in wind Must it bound and toss is all lost Where is the old mast? Sail winds breezes blowing past; Darken clouds unravel; Choice blue skies gather Overcoming the clouds rainy misty clears Stormy rains embracing the ship as it sails.. Alas tis just a traveling wave on a ship that sails
