Short Sea Star Poems

icy waves in fall
            ferry to shore a sea star 
            from a mussel bed...

The sea star is terrified.
Chase is on.
He drops the beast an arm.
Knowing it will regrow.
Saving his life one more time
At the expense of one arm....

Listen closely and quietly on this starry filled night 
and you can hear the sea waves. 
Beating against the beach in rhythmic time 
stirring up the pebbles on the sea floor 
to dance the jingle and the jangle to the tune of the sea....

                    Lights of Atlantis 


                 brightest evening star,
                 flirts with no shame to the sea, 
                 sea gull winks at me.

Awash by ripple of night's waves
the glittering starfish drifts
like an open flower on clay--
its plump flesh, a reddish lip
enchanting two lovers' soft kiss
through a glide of dusky sand.

She drifted on black starlit glass
beneath the full moon bright
captivated by the beauty of
the tranquil, lovely light
floating on the gentle waves
the stars kissed her goodnight
and rocked into her deepest dreams
she floated out of sight

I fell in love by the sea 
My heart was swept away
Only to be set free

Riding waves
And raging torrents
Funny how life behaves

Caught in a net of wonder
I search the stars 
And my heart grows fonder

You kissed me in the moonlight
You held me close
Our love illuminated by starlight....

willowy billowy daydreams 
whirlwind of playful fantasy
worshiping mystical moonbeams
waywardly sailing on a sea

warm starry midnight serenades 
welcoming beckoning mermaids
whispering invite warm extremes

Wildly fertile soil;
Soft petals and wise old oaks,
some consume insects;

Oxygen filled air;
Many who can’t long to fly 
to change perspective;

Storms, wildfires, earthquakes 
we feel leveled when she yells;
Mother may I live? 

These rushing currents;
Home to scores of marine life,
full of square rip tides;

Replenishing the famine,
it’s symbiotic nature...

He sat there on the edge
of the rocks above the shore
lost there in his thoughts
like many times before
he noticed how the water
seemed to glow with life
and for a couple moments he
forgot about his strife
the light came from the moon
high up in the sky
and he longed to be among the stars
but had no wings to fly
so he climbed down from the rocks
and waded past the shore
he drifted away on the stars reflection
with a heavy heart no more

And late at hour, by rippling roar
Of waters lapping 'neath the tor,
A figure bathed in lunar light
Who smiled and turned upon my sight.
And beating wings above the wight,
The somber creatures of the night. 
And as the stars about him played,
A sad embrace he gently made.
"If I were 'cross the seas again, in climates fair or poor,
I'd still be where I've always been, sailing by the shore."
He my sire and I his daughter,
Far across the fretting water,
Far across the sea.
