siren's saddest song
a hypnotic lullaby
gulls wade the tide pools...

Moray swims through silent grave
Shipwreck breaths with life

i see your timely shipwreck
sinking fast and furious
if your voice is wrecked
i will find your wording dubious...

Shipwreck, stuck in place
Wash away, erase
A failed endeavour
So stuck forever
The storm broke and tossed
Evidence lives lost

Abandoned at sea,

dismantled, wasted-

carcasses of ships

join the huge graveyard

on Shipwreck Beach shore-

battling waves no more.

Life always danger,
     Life always up to fail,
     always drifting,
      almost collapses
    but never
    sinks, never
    shipwreck...!
     life survives,,,!......

The able gave it a generously long wink

as if they did not think

resulting in the captain`s sharp stink

While down went the clueless ship

with the rich captain`s poor sheep...

Shipwreck

Forceful truths
captive to 
glistening diamond
watered ice 
descends
upon her
mothers  
blacked inky
oceans sea's
couch,
uncomplaining
peaceful
sleep
at
last....

Her life is clinging to unrealistic thoughts

She has settled for pebbles and stones

Gold glitters before her, but unseen

Precious parts taken away, left behind

Slowly being swallowed up, shipwreck imminent...

Heaven is around
The corner so soon much hell
Not enough love
Liken a ship out
Out of waters
Burnt hearts shipwreck out

Be True to Yourself

Be a first-rate version of yourself.
Because a second-rate version of someone else.
Is like trying to swim ashore from a shipwreck.
With the ships anchor tied to your ass.

Not a single speck 
will remain under my skin,
go ahead love on my neck;
You’ll never again get that close.
Ghosts of the shipwreck 
they should remain dead;
Long ago I cleared that deck,
I won’t walk that line again.
Been there before it’s a faded trek....

I was a non-believer in exodus
of nothingness. 
Here you are,
I am.

In crimson sky 
talking of nobody, unbuttoning the moon.
Fill up my glass 
with tears of joy.

And sleep I must 
in the arms of sorrow.
There was a shipwreck in absence 
while chasing the eyes.

SURVIVOR

Soldier inside her war
Sacrificed all her pride
Satisfied with her past
Salvaged from the shipwreck
Stable personified
Savoring the journey
Succeeded optimist

I'm a shipwreck on a sandy beach, 
Tongue-tied, you say hi and you
Walk by, I can't pretend
I don't wish all the time
That you were mine.

I'm a bomb waiting to explode,
It's easier to deny these
Butterflies, your dark eyes, 
Tinted cherry red cheeks;
You looked at me, hi was all you said......

shipwreck victims
whisper from the ocean floor 
frozen in time

Un the blue of the night...
Inside, the sound of mirrors,
sing of time, words of love ...
No blur...
There outside,
shipwreck of souls, hearts
in arrhythmia ...
Chaos...
There outside,
neither singing nor laughing,
only cold body blood ...
Inside the joy lives in fever
and tender is the night ,,,!...

Crushing my temples in my hands
I can still harken the echoes following me across the labyrinth,
now louder in one side, now lower in the other.

Roller coasters and horror images come about
along with an incessant hammering like thunder,

muddy ways guard the return
and far beyond the trail, fades itself....

After life’s shipwreck you’ll float again
if you get a place in the divine boat,
life will retrieve lost rhythm you’ll see.
Like the rolling waves of serene sea,
imbibe the essence of ecstasy, be free,
make the agonized mind a calm sea.

If the tempest of time torments your life 
in the shipwreck on the rough sea of strife,
with the perennial hope you’ll again float,
if you find a sacred place on the divine boat.
Life will get the rhythm of waves rolling free,
if you make the serene soul a seamless sea.

On the Georgian Bay 
A town Tobermony
Visitors venture
To tour on the bay

Always a line up
For this special site
On this distinctive
      boat
The tour is different

All the sites to see
Are on the bottom
Of the Georgian Bay
Because of shipwreck

Of the past years ago
Are seen on the glass
     bottom boat
The history of the past...

Sally Needs A Little Windfall From COVID

Sally yearns for her stimulus check 
In part to bring sails to her shipwreck
She could use a timely breeze
To soothe her from the deep freeze
Money's ace but her men mend her deck
