Short Seaweeds Poems

eddying currents
in its churning funnel face
weeds swirl quivering...

new growth is smothered
scrubbing the leaf's green color
from dazzle to dark...

dealing with humans
oft leaves me feeling as though
they are dried seaweeds

cold of bright spirit
clammy with the residue
of having brushed life...

What a shock
it was for me to notice
that the seaweeds and mussels
already began to grow 
in your blue eyes,
What sort of crabs dared 
to tell you so many lies?...

With tear drops,
your blue eyes 
already turned to  
a pair of acquariums
where seaweeds and mussels 
have fully grown,
I wonder when fishes
swimming happily
will come to the throne...

I lie leisurely on a bed of burning coals
My soul freezes to its core,
The night tears out the heart of the day
And swallows the sun whole,
As my tears ravage the spirit of the sea
My thoughts drift like the seaweeds.

sinuous seaside sand
softly shifts smooth stones
seaweeds stinky sigh

winsome waves woven
wearing wondrous weave
westerly wind whistles

sunlit sparkling stars
seashore serenades sunshine
sopranos singing

driftwood’s dozing dreams
distant diamond disappears
deep dusky day dies

Simple treasures we have found
(seaweeds, fossils
seashells, crabs)
as we learned to look around

Walking holding hand
(He stopped
and wrote)
I love you in the sand

As the tides began to rise
(He laughed
I cried) 
as the words disappeared before our eyes

But simple treasures we have found
(become fossilized
loving memories) 
as we learn to look around...

Bleeding the sea
for brown seaweeds.
I was trading the tides.

Talking me blind;
Kissing on my face,
O moon, you were reading
the dark earth.

To awaken me.
I prick my fingers to collect
the fractured thoughts.
The ospreys were expected-

to land for laying eggs.
I will seed the clouds,
to bring in rains, to
wash the stains .

Poseidon's Paradise

Sunbeams glide across oceans of gold,
awakening Poseidon from his slumber.
His trident flashes bolts of lightning,
summoning mermaids from their dreams.

Tails splashing rhythmically in delight,
their scales flash like colors of rainbows.
Seaweeds sway in depths of splendor...
blessed with water, their world is paradise.
