Watching the Tide

Remember watching the tide
The sandpipers around
The barnacled pillars of the wharf
Everything wet, you silky and soft

The heart has no truth worth telling
She lies within it's realm
And never knows or never says
where tide will go to helm

The ocean 
have what you feel
allow it to change you
and the tide 
with time 
in every shade 
of green and turquoise blue

I love the smell and scent of pine, so I sweep while singing.

Time Tide

...and time slips away,

                just the way it always had,

why land mass subsides
       laws of physics can’t decide

From Tide Rolled Over on Side Horn Haik

when how hard I tried
there was changing of the tide
bod I have spied

what I heard some say
body had been washed away
on bottom now does lay

What the Tide Told Me

The tide told me that
in paradise there is
an abundance of flowing
dreams and promises
that are reborn from the inside
of the soul of a coconut

Time and Tide

. . . for both low and great,

                for no one,  time and tide wait,

                              passing through life's gate . . .

The Tide

the tide ebbs and flows
in and out quietly each day
no one barely pays any attention to it
until one day it goes out to sea
and never comes again

Premium Member Gone With the Tide

Listen to poem:
between
the then and now
an evergrowing ridge
severing
our past
gone hazy
forever
irretrievable

Fluid Tide

Consciousness pulsating through a webbed highway
Rhythmically expanding , embracing infinity
Returning home like the silken petals of the morning glory.

I’ll give you a smile
to wipe away your tears
got to go, fly home
take your touch your memories,
need to breathe your Spanish air.

Rip Tide

struggle given up
   at last
resigned
to swirl
twirl
   and
inhale
watery reality
  top floating
trailing bloody strings
of wishful
    make believe

Premium Member Toward High Tide

My heart beats 
toward you
like the swell 
of the ocean
toward 
high tide,
caught by 
an unrelenting 
force
It cannot 
understand,
cannot 
escape.

Tide Ink Memory

Brush moves through time,
Ink bleeds like ancient tides,
Breath held in lines,
Silk remembers,
Ancestors speak through each stroke,
The sea keeps their names.

Becomes Calm In Tide

See's water dances
                                                  ebb occurs for attraction
                                                     becomes calm in tide

Tide, People, Feelings

The tide of the ocean
People in your life
Feelings you have and others have for you
All these things are alike in ways
They all come in and grow
As do they go and fade
Form:

Tide

In sunlights defilade
weed outgrows the plant
and marshmallowed clouds
dissipate in whispered wisps
owed was freely given
and crested wave
beckoned burning shoe less feet

Premium Member The Tide of Time

Washed
up
on the
shore

broken
by
the
ocean's
roar

waiting
at
the
foot
of
heavens
door

I
touch
her
fading
beauty
with
my
trembling
hand

a
broken
shell
lying
in
the
burning
sand

Spring Tide

Horizon stretching
azure shades midst rolling waves
spring tides unleashing.
