In grandeur seabed green form
What a scenery!...

I escape into the mist of a lonely forest lake

         Collapsing with sorrow upon a seabed of lilac petals

                  Surrounded by stately trees, they whisper that life will go on.

serenade of depths,
pensive rhapsodies ascend~
seabed's dirges mourn.

echoes of the depths,
sullen seabed mourns the drowned~
dirges for lost souls.

pensive rhapsodies,
seabed's dirges for the drowned~
melancholy depths...

"Hereafter, unidentified"
 
Unidentified
a whole world 
submerged 

in a dream 

Mysterion 
in solitary seas
messages 

stolen 
from a heart
last minute 

in another’s 
dream 
meaning seized

siren
calls 
from the seabed

identified,

unidentified
here
after

Humanity took the last boat
The last one way ticket 
On the last wooden ship with sails
Yes
Humanity left in style
If it was today
But that boat now
Sails the seabed

Humanity is like the
Boogeyman or Davy Jones locker
Bedtime stories to your children
A world full of magical creatures
And fairytale endings 
Humanity is but a story...

You lie beautiful treasure 
on the bottom of the seabed
mother of the ocean

Whispering motions
sail away in shades 
of a rainbow
spray colours
you beautiful

kissed by the sea
upon the sands nurtured 
waves goodbye your remains

Upon the sand
dead beauty pleasing
on the naked eye
still so beautiful
a treasure
one can see beholding...

Low Tide

The moon continues her cycle
Around our earthly sphere 
And with gravity she pulls
At the waters deep and clear 

The planet keeps on spinning
And the land moves either side
Of the manipulated water
And the beach receives its tide. 

The water now is distant
And the seabed is on view
Low tide for short hours 
Before it’s hidden by the blue....

Stabs of setting sun, spasm of sorrow bleed my horizon

Transcending tides of strife twilight starts stellar symphony

With crescendo cascading on stardust on your cadence I float

A boat, fervent wind on sail, voyage on ardent moonbeam trail

Finds the seabed of heart to anchor on the shore of ecstasy 

No tempest to tame, the ancient mariner reaches home.

Effortlessly out of a seabed of notions
words rise.
Many are eaten by sharks,
or the ever-nibbling krill
of second thoughts.

You learn to make
the holes of the net smaller
no more trawling,
just the quick swoop and catch
will land them still wriggling.

Now recline on the shore of self,
relax,
put your legs in the air, count your toes,
until a line hooks you
to an effortless poem....

A last goodbye to you on the deck...
Winds growling the misfortune.... 

RMS titanic twisted in the blisters...
Let the coffin in glister... 

Recalling our ancestors' flute...
Off the ships under the sealed seabed,
Cape of Good hope lurkes the will of fate. 

Seagull hissing to the Symphony of Seas,
Carnival of cruises, 

Had I known your last dreary,
I would have written miles of dreams......

Listen to poem:

The starfish that litter the seabed
are the stars that fell 
from abandoned Christmas trees;
are the leftovers
of shooting stars that missed;
are stars that have blown off the pages
of homework teachers praised.
On the ocean, when you look up,
you can see the stars blink,
if it is dark enough.
When you peer down, you can see
the sea-stars wink,
if you stare hard enough
to draw their attention....

Soaring through the turquoise blue
To thin air way beyond
Reaching to the outer banks
Where eternity has dawned

Diving to the darkest depths
Of silent seabed night
Pressure of a thousand seas
Cloaking reason’s sight

Farthest journey to the west 
Is now the east young man
Nere the limits of the mind
Can imagination span

Outer limits tho they be
To lesser minds than I 
One shall never tread the line
That limits longing eye...

Wrecked ships and their treasures
Surrounded by colourful fish and corals
The richest man but nobody knows him
The king lives on the seabed

His tears get mixed with the seawater
He himself doesn’t know he is crying

Fascinating knowledge from the depth of the ocean
Sharing it with his servant fish and shrimps
The most intelligent man but nobody knows him
The king lives on the seabed

His tears get mixed with the seawater
He himself doesn’t know he is crying...

Navigating center
my sail in the wind
waves pulsing by
only left to rescind


Discovering land
rich and bare
feet on the sand
sun stripping cares


Heating the skin
warmth can trace 
Lillie’s and roses
all over my face


Tide creeping in
laps at my feet
slowly it rises
till we both meet


Seahorses twirling
around the seabed
seagulls are laughing
their wings outspread


Carried away 
on a swell of joy
embracing the peace
pain cannot destroy...

Hectors Dolphins are listed as, endangered
and a sub-species, Maui’s Dolphin are critically endangered
with only about 55 left, in New Zealand’s shallow waters
in the North Island eastern shores, is their home with borders

Hector Dolphins dorsal fin, looks like Mickey Mouse’s ear
and they are the smallest and rarest, of all marine dolphins
Their biggest threat, is being caught up in human fishing gear
and humans polluting, boat striking, developing and seabed mining...

What's in a name 





Lost in words was my passionate heart,
as rising sea would spit me back to the start;

Every sunrise unfolded a new horizon,
Arrows pricked me deep to shed poison,

Rested all my desires as I pretended dead,
My soul lay tranquil in deep seabed;

In an amazing world full of similes,
Honey drips to the buzz of bees,

It's all fortune, hard work and fame,
What's there anyways in the name ?
