Seasonal Sea Horse and Sea Lions
Seasonal sea horse and sea lions named Sue
Searching for a secluded seat in sea urchin’s seaweed.
Secreting secret signs, settling in a sailor’s simple shoe.
Securing secondhand seafarers, a signature of a sesame seed....

Tower of Light
Shining bright beacons
Fore warning, possible doom.
Edge end of the sea,
Seafarers delight
Magnified for gloom of night
Destination marks.

The Lighthouse
It appears undaunted, unstrainably
By duties dictated exclusively
To provide protection unfeignfully
For needed traveling unharmfully.
It safely furnishes luminescence
As proven effective unfailingly
In guiding seafarers efficiently
To harbors constructed judiciously....

Wave of Skepticism
What are we, if not seafarers?
Writing words and aspirations to escape,
Kraken's grasp of deep dark seas.
Of turbulent brains during the storm.
A wave of skepticism, as if love was magic.
Isn't conceivable that this never occurs.

Albatross
A bird with a shadow as big as a bus
Archaic the sailors that in him will trust
Always at sea coming in from the stern
Arrogant seafarers will need to learn
Ancient beliefs all have basis in fact
As may become clear when the odds are well stacked
Adrift on a life raft?.. He’s poultry… that’s that...

Getting the Job Done
“Necessity is the mother of invention,”
Making the case for improvisation,
Seafarers would say, “jerry-rigging,”
Results can often create a sensation.
Using what’s at hand to get a job done
Sometimes new and better ways ensue
I’ve been known to fix it with duct tape
As a last resort, I’ve used Elmer’s glue.

Alluring Orb
monthly appearance
linked to rising homicide
increasing suicide rate
but to fishermen
lunar tide prompts appetite
creatures drawn from hidden depths
"Old Crater Face" smiles
seafarers love his allure
Moon Man baits their attention
moonbeams cast a spell
shimmering golden halo
lures the food chain from below...

The Vanished Home
The Vanished home
Most seafarers find their way home
others get lost on the way.
One was washed up on the shores of Algarve
and stayed the home he knew was no longer there.
But a memory of log fire and a mother
who read books and rarely looked up to see were
her children had gone.
It is all too late now; the seafarer lives another life....

Poseidon
Powerful water-god
Paradigm of Neptune
Pride of seas and oceans
Protects all seafarers
Placed as lord of horses
Paired to Amphitrite
Put as god of earthquakes

Lonely Lighthouse
The Smeaton Eddystone's architecture
First lighthouse protecting navigators
Light blinking, pulsating, luminously
Loud foghorn resounding resonantly
Guides shipwrecked mariners vigilantly
Or swarthy seafarers incessantly
On oceans perilous, tempestuous
A sailor’s salvation eternally

Lighthouse Muse
~~~
Soft graceful effortless magnificence
From sweeping preambles omnipresence
O’er marine moistening proclamations
Tides flowing distanced admirations
Warm simple potency unprotected
Leads ancient seafarers disconcerted
To destine improvements phenomenon
Place complete peacefulness comprehension

Human Maggots
Human Maggots
If ejaculated semen
From millions of seafarers
Over hundred years
Think if this floating loneliness
Had met up and formed
An Island
And up from its depth sprung
The unborn like larvae
Whose only contact
With mothers were what
The seaman
Was dreaming of at the time
Not Atlantis re- emerging
But an island born out of tedium
And tired desire
Not on a chart
To find its existence
So be careful when dreaming....

Maggots
Maggots
If ejaculated semen
From millions of seafarers
Over a hundred years.
Think of this floating loneliness
had met up and formed
An Island.
And up from its depth
Sprung the unborn
Like larvae
Whose only contact
With mothers
Depended
On what the seaman
was dreaming at the time.
Not a new Atlantis emerging
But an island
Of tedium
And tired desire.
Not on a chart
To see its existence
So, be careful when dreaming....

Matzo Ball Soup For the Soul
Explorations of cerebral fascination
Devilish ideas' mutated peregrinations
Spirited inhalations of tribal incantations
Torso-twisting through saucy peregrinations
Whilst the grimy sesame toast's torn asunder
Swashbuckling seafarers burble and blunder
Through Deli Yammer's roasted pickle bars de-acidified
n Arm n Hammer's blue-cabbage-power shake de-histified
If you think all this is rather hard to follow
Dr. Fauci's linking it in cuneiform on marshmallow...

Winds Return
A fog bank on the Horizon,
As a barrier to our way.
And oh the sea, so tranquil,
No breeze to ruffle it's face.
Our ship drifting aimlessly,
Her sails hang motionless.
Like peace fullness, the stillness brings,
It teaches Hearts to rest.
Some sailing on this ship of life,
See Doldrums as an end
Take courage fellow seafarers,
The winds will come again....
