Love’s reflection- we are whole
Cast beneath your frothy heart
Take heed the rocks and shallows
Kiss with painted lips...

like a river 
which shallows
thanks to the giver
forever shall be praise
footprints are accompanied by his

The Widow
Though suffering shadows
my memory never shallows
my husband past memory follows
As his body swallows
through the earth, his house gallows
And forever as widows...

bohemian indulgence
monk mode renunciation
both wishing to be elsewhere
away from the here and now
are caught in egoic glue
wallowing in shallows

Long Ways From the Sea
Unto ones self winters never bore
Summers never die and wants are never achieved
Tis not the highest peak nor darkest valley that emplore
But the shallows and ridges near shore...

Obit For Beau
Make a wish
to summon 
the fish to crowd 
around so he'll
be found.
I'll always see
his little shape
in the shallows
of the lake, 
forever to bathe
in his Betta
baptismal  
grave....

Shadows And Shallows
It's almost impossible to show,
The shadows of:
Blue

Of diamonds' shines
When the reader is a shallow  blind one
Thinks a writer is a gaga  seller of pieces of glasses...

Sacrifices
Day to day, 
I watch you floundering,
Like a fish out of water.
The human and the mermaid.
Afraid of drowning,
He calls from his little island,
As the sea beckons.
Offering it's spoils
Torn,
You sit in the shallows....

Premium Member hush the blush
a divine sight once beheld
was by memory recalled
by our ego thus seeking
the influx of grace was stalled 

why wallow in the shallows
when the ocean calls to soul
be still oh worthy hermit
that God’s touch may make us whole...

In Lieu of Soot
The world was my darkness
The soot in my blackened sights 
I once cried in shallows
Words entomed within my grave
Dug with smiles merrit of fading sorrows
My final morrows led by fate
Towards the rejoicing of tomorrow.
