Headed to Aruba
Gonna have myself some fun
May even get to scuba
But I know I'm gonna play in the sun.


See ya when I get back!...

Propelled by snorkel and scuba
That dreamy swim to Aruba
But the trip was long
Why? A heading quite wrong
Ended here...welcome to Cuba...

dawn's eagles fluttering
They haven't caught any flesh
scuba diving in rock pools

Glaring plunge to sea,

                                      crystal schooling angelfish.  

                                        Swirling orbs perish....

In diving the coast off Aruba,
He thought he would play his best tuba.
The fish thought it odd,
The stingray said “Todd,
That isn’t the way to do scuba.”

hand of coral islands
south of Sri Lanka
in the Indian Ocean
scuba diving
snorkeling. surfing,
dolphin watching
paddle boarding
i run to shake Maldive's glorious hand
eighty degrees average...

Sometimes I wish 
I was an ocean 
where scuba divers can 
take a plunge into my blue depths
to uncover the rich buried treasures
beneath the floor of my heart
and cherish them for all eternity...

When scuba diving in Iceland need to wear long johns
Under your wet suit, at 32F, you'll never see swans
They tried wearing sweaters
Now they know better
Otherwise, they'd have been singing their swan song...

I will become a conqueror when I grow up the young girl said.
With her lovely freckled face, fresh emerald eyes, and hair of red.
Or a race car driver
Or a scuba diver
Maybe even a professional football player or a flower bed....

When scuba diving off Iceland, you need to wear long johns
Under your wet suit, it's so freaking cold, you'll never see swans
They tried wearing sweaters
Now they know better
Otherwise they would've been singing their swan song...

I will never fly a plane
Or sail the seven seas
I will never roller skate
Or go down hill on skis
I will never hang glide
Or ride in a hot air balloon
I will never sing karaoke
Because I can't carry a tune
I will never scuba dive
Or climb a mountain high
I know I won't ever do these things
For I won't even TRY...

A scuba diver rents a boat
The driver of the boat goes
into the deep water
There he prepares himself
To be ready for the big dive
Then jumps into the deep water



Seeing some fish fish-he swims
Being side by side enjoys 
          the fun
When the divers tires
he returns to the boat
To take him to the shore
       once more...

a thick suit envelopes me
the sun beats down
dang, this is so hot. 
i feel sweat drip 
and wrap around my arms 
my first steps into the cool water 
aww.....love it....
sweet coolness
further i go 
panic rips through 
what happened? 
i don't know, 
my mind goes utterly chaotic 
i back float to shore 
i try again the day of next 
once i do, i crave more....

Depression engulfs me into its depths and drowns me in its sorrow,
an ocean so deep that I fear I will never reach the bottom.
Instead, I just swim aimlessly like a scuba diver who is running out of air but can't remember which way is up.
I flail trying to find my way, but I can never swim out of its darkness.
When will I  be able to come up for air? I am drowning in this feeling...

The Scuba Diver 

we look down
signal frantically
‘come up’,
though it is already 
too late

he dances wide eyed
with ecstasy
as the nitrogen 
tickles his cells

anemones
cling to the steep
rock walls
fish feed and dawdle
incuriously

we peer through
our tiny windows
into the ink black sea

as he goes 
free wheeling 
down, 
down,
a rictus of laughter 
on his face...

no baby go
slow don't
i'm not a
jerk but

there are
rules needed
to follow so we
can be properly

posted so go
easy breath
normally
well as

normal as you can
be with excitability
before you go down
in the cage

sharks can sense
nervervousness
so just relax 
remember

SCUBA means
Self
Contained
Underwater
Breathing

Apparatus
so take it
in slowly

       Scuba Diving
Heavy SCUBA tanks
As if flying in water
Everywhere blue

  
Dry mouth icky salt
Regulator gets knocked out
Can't breathe in water
  
   
See a shark hiding
Marveling in its stealth
Hope it's not hungry
  
   
Running our of air
Better get to boat fast
Stupid lungs why why?
   
Brightly colored fish
And coral everywhere    
I wish I could stay

On a cruise ship in the sea
breaking blue waves peacefully,
yet once we land and I descend
the coral moves and shifts and bends.
Out comes something small and sweet
but packing punch; I know I'm beat.
A jellyfish: minuscule and bright
it shocks me and I'm full of light.
Grappling to the surface now
with water dripping off my brow,
"that sucked" I think, "It hurt like hell."
My trip to Jamaica sure was swell....

if I could take you anywhere
to the ends of the milky way
a roller coaster on the sun
scuba diving on Jupiter
flying through the mountains 
with a magic carpet on Pluto
to the edge of Saturn's rings
in a bubble under the deepest seas
farther away than light could reach
would you go with me?
Not because of the adventure
but because you simply
want to be with me
for no other reason than 
to look me in my grey blue eyes 
and tell me you love me...

I haven't been away,
For eight hundred plus day's
I've devoted my time,
To poetry Which rhymes.
To lyrics and song,
It's been too long.
I need a holiday,
To just leave and play.
Yes, that's what I need,
Take Me there Please.

Sunshine, Sea breeze,
Under palm trees.
To reflect, mind at ease.
Ooh, a luau indeed,
Fill me to the knees.
Scuba dive in the sea,
New beach party scenes.
Blue water, jet skis.
Do whatever I need.
Take Me there Please....

Our trip is planned. There's no going back.
Plane has taken off to the destination.

We arrive. Palm tree, beautiful flowers and 
amazing scenery. We drive to the reason we 
came.

All suited up and ready. The magnificent
ocean just ahead. We arrive and dive in.

Beautiful colors surround us. Many different
fish all around, colors of blue, yellow, red and
so on. We see sharks and rays. Amazing reefs.
Such a sight. 

Scuba diving. What an experience.....
