Surfing Poems

Beautiful world where miracles begin.
World of glory, stunning nature hear her sing.
Rivers flow into oceans, creating life.
The sands hold a million crushed diamonds for us to rest.
Skies are blue and filled with puffs of cotton candy.
Birds surfing on her warm...Read More

His life raft drifted helplessly in an ocean of tears and lost dreams

		In tangible finite and impermanent flow

He lost his compass and the needle festered in Tom’s purulent arm

		A portal to hot flushes of receding pain

Chasing sea dragons and hobgoblins...Read More

There once was a great white 
Who was looking for a bite 
And there was a seashore town 
That had smiles instead of a frown 

Preparing for a 100 year celebration
With wind surfing racing 

It took a whole year of...Read More

Are you muse listening?

Can you hear
the Cosmic mechanics
quantum singing?

The nebular orchestral oscillations
are photon vibrating

Waves upon waves
of pure starlight expanding harmoniously

Music of the Spheres
ring Galactic in my ears

As I silver surf in the Void,
seeking the golden 
event horizon
of Infinity

The Fountain of...Read More

Surfing 

I am not always under,
But I haven’t learned to surf the top.
Arriving at the trough and wondering
When the pain is going to just stop.

See them Iscariot eyes silver surfing,
filthy lucre foam
	is left in their wake

You best be watching them,
when they’re evil eyeballing you

Dirty money laundry days a-rising, 
grifter ink gloam ...
	palms on the last take

Grimy worst, the dullest dim,
are midnight indigo  ...Read More

Voluntary unconditional surrender woke...,

Viz hitting yours truly,
when yokel egghead doth jinx
whereby ye cannot comprehend figurative
wimpy vainglory, unequivocally, tectonically,
smoldering resentments I stoke,

no matter insight doth severely challenge
cyber surfing passersby, who attempt
to interpret courtesy
mental torture doth...Read More

Whoops! Yours truly almost ditched the missus...

Who nearly knocked me upside noggin
property of self anointed Unitarian sheikh
yea... of course by accident, 
nor lame excuse accepted
playing spontaneous hide-and-seek
game, and not exactly romantic technique

to allow, enable and provide sleek
move antithetical to marriage...Read More

To Israel Kamakawiwo, IZ



Tell him the sea has receded and the stars are jumping on its bare bed.
Tell him that history was a seagull hungering our names.
Tell him, if he is silent, if he isolates himself, God appeased the volcano,

802.11 I got it from,

We can hash it all out and add speed & security,

can't swim around
in the pain not always
it does strange 
things to the brain

surfing through it
removing files no longer
relevant like that

oh and the tears
rush forward great
waterfall and heal
it all - a hard heart
softens to avoid
a fall

no longer a need

I was once a full-on novice surfing the waves,
Seas were rough and choppy here and there.
I could not bear the challenges I was going to face,
But you were by my side guiding me when and where.

The ocean was as sunless...Read More

 It is about an imaginary voyage of a 13-year-old
 with her family from Spain to America, 
 In the year 1673.

I can still remember the day,
     And it wasn't that long ago.
Where we sought some inspiration,
     From those we might call, our hero.

Gratitude's past grief
brief repast

When re-articulating grief
becomes transparently warm passion,
yet without terrifying overheated anger,
we are together filled with resonantly vulnerable sound 
and traumatic sight,

Therein opens new possibilities,
avenues, shared
tides,
streams,
neurological highways
mini-cultures surfing for resiliently polypathic gratitude,

An experiential reminder,
a virtuous feedback loop,
in which daily...Read More

We took the Marseilles road,
a cambered sun streaking the bay
with gold threads.

We drink lemon tea 
while lovers and others
search for cheap wine.

We are alone at last, free 
to explore our magnetic boundaries;
hands stalking hands
on a checkered tablecloth.

That night we translate

Belly Boarding
By Tom
9-3-2019

In brackish water,
I first learned to swim.
It wasn’t by some plan,
But merely on a whim.
Being a San Diego boy,
Surf captured my eye.
On the spur of the moment,
I gave surfing a try.
The girl I was with,
Flashed a worried frown.
How...Read More

She cuddled in a signature pose
That resembled the 'one-hug' position
Arms wrapped around her disoriented and confused body
Pulling her skin covered torso into the black sheath
To her demise and surprise
Her situation was on the path to corrosion
Her shape was forced to...Read More

In emerald dreams of a romantic isle
Beholden to your signature smile
Kiss me tender in secrets of runes
Cuddled in arms of a sensuous moon

Attach a note to verses of love
Tell me once more--the song's forever

Align yourself in visions lavender
Surfing the winds...Read More

We wobble, driven, over the edge 
of browsing surfboards.
The ‘Beachboys’ haunt us
as we slide toward the rocky domains
of look-at-me blogs, 
or commercial choked pages.
It’s okay, 
ride-on you wipe-out wizards,
we are all just Peter Pans
surfing with all the other 
lost girls...Read More

Supine ink sea spreads far searching skyline,
shore’s sheen allures curling waves to embrace
sun soaked blonde beach with strings of pearl adorned.
Surfing winds surge, can’t whisk sands from my hand,
I build castle on shore, I’m not island.

Windows open on wide visage...Read More
