Frothy Heart

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

Titillations in the shallows.
All of life's! Before a wave.
Edging which twin immanancies
Of head's, heart's diving brave.

Searching olive green shallows
For grubs escaping

Life Shadows

life shadows
like a river 
which shallows
thanks to the giver
forever shall be praise
footprints are accompanied by his
for his name shall be raise

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

Premium Member Scuttle diplomacy '

Will sailors be scuttling ships.' 
If the US navy; gets in a real fix? 
In the great gulf of a war
with  rockets in short store
Hulls in shallows, like half showing bricks'

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.

Premium Member Unheard

whispered rumours of the true things


drown in  shallows of ego's hubbub

Premium Member Sweet Night Music

infant twilight suspends noise
around quiescent waters
stars glint nocturnal shallows
frog chants reverberate

Shadows And Shallows

It's almost impossible to show,
The shadows of:
Blue
White
Yellow
& more..
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 Wallow in the Shallows

We wallow in the shallows –
In muck that clings contingent,
and as it sucks us into its depths,
we slosh mud onto each other

How have we sunk so?
Come with me to shore.
We did so aeons before,
and we can do again.

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.

Premium Member Blind Me With Passion

I will not wade with you in ocean shallows

Love must run far deeper than a shoal

Having enough passion to make me blind

A love rivaling the grandest of hallows

Heal my heart and make it whole

Drown me in fervid depths of your mind

Premium Member As the River Lies

Cerulean soft shallows glide
like lotic lullabies; gentle,
hushed.  Juniper hills undulate
breezy slopes, tucked tender Autumn,
where turgid pastels drift perpetual
atop the sleepless river - surface deep.
