The waves disappear,
I feel the ocean sinking,
the rise up again,
I can see the tide come up,
the ocean's purly beauty.

Eyes are just staring, not blinking
Its time for a drink and a rhyme
As my energy boat is sinking

The sun sinking down
Into a hazy twilight
Welcoming the night
Grinning at the starry sky
Goodnight moon and goodnight you

When searching for a bone
As he was sinking
He started thinking
He wished he had a phone

Gem

Like a sinking sun,
Betwixt earth n' sky,
Viz a fallen hero
Crowning melodious charm,
Braze me, to raise
As the phoenix.

Standing with shoulders high
My sinking boat hangs on her ocean’s tide
Trolling her confined shores
Over there the sky is low

Peaceful Horizon

Fire in the sky,
a moon so big, you could touch,
peaceful horizon,
sun setting over the beach,
sinking your feet in white sand.

Lonliness

Inside I cry
Neath sinking eyes
Against the wind
I feel that I
Am all alone
Am all alone
Am all alone…
Goodbye

A Patina of Gold

Is snow heavy or light
a dandelion's weightless flight
or a heavy heart sinking tonight
puffballs, snowballs and a patina of gold.

By lake's soothing sounding waves.
Singing beneath stars.
Imagining sinking down:
How sad it would be to drown.

But found she uncovered a crime
Inside the bowl
Was a bankroll
Of Ben Franklins sinking in slime

Crying  out its anger to

My heart is slowly sinking
I don't need to be told,
That I have grown old
Even my brain is shrinking.

Even the sun has a sinking spell
It rises in the morning

Hurt

A melancholy melody plays in my head,
And my heart’s sinking in despair,
My eyes are sad and red,
Down my face,
Trickles down a single tear.
