Ripples

Disturbing water,
Calming surface awakens;
Absorbed by shoreline.

fluorescent sea chains
beach filled dreams within a dream
sun on my shoulders
swimming to your shoreline heart

Premium Member Luskentyre Shores

Bedazzled am I,
dancing to ancient rhythms 
on western windblown shores 
where drifts of machair colours 
this wearied soul restores.

Trees Uprooted

Palm trees uprooted-

mad waves from shoreline avenge

nature's graciousness

slaving away
     making waves
              pushing
ebb and   flow
      crumbling on
               the shoreline
under the moonlight

Someday Again

driftwood--
                                                    someday again
                                                  another shoreline

Waves

I standfast, ready on the shoreline. 
Waves roll in, crashing at my feet.
They invite me softly, they call my name.  
I jump right in, they take me home.

Premium Member Erosion

Waves meet the shoreline
Wearing from its erosion
Water pulling apart sand

Drift in the sea of time
Leaving behind corrosion
Flow pushing across land

Night Stars Lovers

Night Stars Lovers

What if I told you—
hearts pulled by unseen currents,
two souls riven by fate,
one waits upon the shoreline,
one drifts within the night tide.

Premium Member SEASIDE HOLIDAY limerick

there was a seagull so fine
daily searching the seaside shoreline
finding a set of false teeth* with glee
made him a gourmet carefree
knowing they'd help him to dine

Camiguin Shoreline, 12:22 P.M.

.. though the waves
violently swirl
and splash about,
though they fiercely
gnarl and roar,
the rippling wavelets
woo and caress,
lap and gently kiss
the shore ..

Premium Member Birds in flight

As birds in flight glide above 
the breath of morning mist 
I stand along the shoreline 
paying tribute 
to those lost 
in the wrecks of time
 on lake erie's waters

Endless Rift

Then come'st thou to thine peer,
Pray the fluid from the ear,
Then followeth thy friend to shoreline,
Unless counte thee the bathe wine,
Fie! Forgiveness not come near.

Premium Member Shoreline

Eyes staring at the fading sun
as my lover sailed away
tears became the shoreline
she hated my tortured mind
I hated the river
of depression

The river waved good bye

Morning Walk

In soft, pinkish robe—

on the shoreline rocks,

this fair bloom greets

the early morning ship

of dream, and presses 

my fingers on a dirty 

patched road of life.

Night has now fallen
The low pale moon hangs
Casting golden light
Across the ripples
Washing the shoreline
Silhouetting palms

morning butterflies

                                   flutter through sunlit sea caves

                                           tide waters rush in

Premium Member Chased Away

The mist lifts her skirts
Wisps, tufts, half-ghosts
flit across dawn's lake..
  pausing
  suspended mid-race
  peering at the shoreline...
Fearful, they sail off
chased away 
to nowhere

Were it in Haifa, one could understand
   or Tel Aviv by the shoreline, let ‘em pound sand

But in Holy Jerusalem, a ‘gay pride parade’ ~
   one is forced to conclude, there’s nothing sacred

At the Brilliant Seaside

Shoreline washed clean,

shadow of the grave left far behind,

towel in hand

She sweeps back -

Her slick, golden tresses,

ridding them of the waves 

and ridding them of the world.
Form: Imagism

The Journey Home

steel blue persuasion
singing blissfully along
the shoreline- torn with
rocks, cracks in the 
earth.

gliding through 
rough terrain within
graceful stars
lighting each.   bold. 
 shadow.
