Short Spindrift Poems

cascades spraying mist

dragonflies dancing the swirl -

cataract’s agape

Soft

A space

Between the

Spaces where I find

You, breathless ... broken

Bare and beautied

Upon your reef

I am bound

In ruin....

Cormorant and I
Share tempestuous moment
Wide-eyed ocean watch
Safely removed from spindrift
Waves, spume and spray batter shore. ...

With a gold sunset
Walking in the esplanade
The bare feet are touched
By the crystal clear spindrift
As a caress of her beau

The Wind Shepherdess

The wind,
 Like a shepherdess,
Gathers misty spindrift;
 Heaven’s lambs
From azure fields
 Where they pasture
Viewing paradise         
 In meadows without edges;
Gliding effortless 
 In pastoral symphonies....

Cruz croppin' cruz control,

contralateral craw fishing on the soul-

grounding intimidation,

growling conversations,

growing in the grooms greatest advantageous...

Glowing-
gory the launch pad goal,

cloning calamity's spindrift off the walls of the show....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Currents


        If the wind will slow
        you will see how the the tide flows
        Who spun the spindrift

   Downeast breezes are always in the air.
   The gulls and sailors take their cues from them....

nocturnal retreat

mauve tackles midnight
 lavender echoes whisper ~
  song of the rooster

curly coral clouds
 dressed in a burnished bronze blush ~
  ebony snoozes

round rosiness yawns
 in wispy gossamer hush ~
  the sweet scent of pink

puffy plumes of gold
 like lush heavenly spindrift ~
  nocturnal retreat

Draw near and listen—
the interminable din—
thunderous and raging,
spindrift riven from
graybeards’ snowy crests,
that plunge at journey’s end,
their whitest teeth laid bare,
to gnash with boundless fury
on patient rampart of
unyielding stones,
their mottled skin
to smooth and polish,
that these might stand,
in reverent alarm,
never to be forgotten....

Morning eggs arrayed
in their cartons.
Cold domed power-plants
in their laboratory-white shells.
I try not to dwell
on the still humming embryology.
The unknown waits inside the oval
until it cracks open.
Is that a spindrift of red in the yoke?
Maybe it’s just ova solar activity,
a flesh flare, as the egg is unshelled.
I watch for signs of a struggle to fly....

UPON A SEASHORE...
Off the blue 
languid hours,
a labyrinth,
perceptions 
sensible things
surging impressions...
UPON A SEASHORE...
Infinite purples
rainbow fragments
spindrift,gleams
sensuous 
lively,lovely,
many-hued 
gossamer....
UPON A SEASHORE...
ebbs and flows
the familiar the strange
momentary phenomena
a sunburnt glow..
UPON A SEASHORE...
a wind blows aloof......

he crossed his weary legs on the beach and meditated

breathed in and out quietly to the tune of tidal composure 

unaware that drift sand and flood would cause him to rise

over and above consciousness but levitation would heal

him from suffering when he felt a tickle on his third eye

as the lotus flower submerged he felt the kiss of a dolphin

As wild as unbridled seas,
soft as mist, a spindrift tease. 
Night stars swoon and fall from skies; 
constellations fill her eyes. 
Every leaf stirs in her wake, 
bottom to top, mountains quake.
Beaux like grapes bunch on her vine, 
blood in veins she turns to wine.
Kisses sipped, her cherry lips. 
Saké nip, rock ‘n roll hips;
tongue-and-groove celebration,
sensual saturation. 
Her riptide lures sand from shore, 
tsunami, when she wants more....

I am Seraphim voyaging to descend
Spanning the lake of invisible water
A spindrift of twirls of huffing wind
Falling-in Fall leaves gathered on a rusted altar
Blissing in delicate spirals I bend
Just where the river ends
Exalted and brilliant within intangible halos
I light the world then setting slow
In golden hues I fade then falter
Sublimely reimagined I do delight
To evaporate into the glow of night
Painting the moon with vestiges of the coming day...

fragments
        spindrift,gleams
sensuous 
    lively,lovely,
many-hued 
gossamer....
momentary 
              phenomena
a sunburnt glow..

a stylised shape
           opulence
curved
   yet sevelte

soft sensuous 
long thighs

      rounded hips,twinned 

      draped
lines
       become
          curves

shapes, 
      in colour
an active pose
          in shimmering light
sensuality 
     in 
          silhouette
        back-lit...
