Short Voyaging Poems

Leader(ship)

Each ship is in captain’s hand;
Voyaging to distant land 
Midst waves of the vast ocean....

Beware of being bedeviled
Every day and night
Devil takes various forms
Every now and then
Voyaging thru the sky
In myriad colours
Looking for his next victim...

Adventure - A Didactic Cinquain



Adventure
Freebooting, foolhardy
Fantasying, voyaging, tethering
Ever so imagined
Gamble

I feel like a tumbling kite
I don't know where to hid
I have neon colours 
to paint five o clock shadow

The Pontiff has paid my full fare
Im voyaging down South
I need to afford my back
for the weary strings of yesteryear...

Amongst idle clouds tis by
stealthy through labyrinth sky.
Voyaging ships crowd caught sight
hunchback whales' rare eyes delight.

Steel blue wind-driven waves rise;
playground for three gray whales’ cries.
They breach, slap the cold waters
delight, rough surface shatters.

In the grains of pebbles, sand and rock
The picture of her aesthetic scar is drawn
Voyaging to dawn,
When the fisherman's net catches
Her pearl of pleasures more
Than large fishes for life
And leisured at evenfall,
When the fisherman strains
Roars of waves rhymes with moon
In hope, delight and vows...
But again,
Lust, pleasure and beauty rein all grin...

Applauded performers in dayspun course 
               Embezzled by orbit, to variance succumb
               After venom scalds sun adoring audience
               Moon's butter churns mother cow rotund 


               Accusations pacified behind eclipses 
               Rays of interrogation with dusk relent
               Voyaging moon melts in mineral elixir 
               Ocean encumbered by dawn's lament

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...
