Words captured in amber for all eternity—valued for their unique resilience as the tides of time cannot erode them. Our deeds like skipping stones on water sink in although they go unrecorded; the ripples soon fading from memory, becoming a distorted reflection in a cracked mirror.
tides gather the echoes to be expelled in a sigh
a melancholy
taint the turbulent waters
washing up on the shores of life
the waves
reaching the sandcastles of desire
an undercurrent
dragging the dreams out to sea
an occasional regret
never on display
fading with time
r.i.p.p.l.e.d dreams
like R I L L S on the breach …
extending a hand in friendship
being the rock in someone’s life
leaves one with a sense of
PURPOSE
as tidal excire exhales …

Serene,
right by the shore;
Calm dances on the breeze;
Footprints in the sand my soul moves,
waltzing;
I am free to trust the rhythm
pulsing through my body;
My waves become
tidal.

Into the darkness I drove the line.
With sudden persistence I stuck their spirits.
Questions arose about my faith.
Under the shadows the powers of the air quake.
Through blended fields I struck their souls.
Yoking my aura deep into the earth.
Waking the mountain it never crumbled.
Ascending the moon, we summit the sky.
Zero percent of my trust was lost.
Accepting the limits of music's healing powers.
Into the light I became the world's darkness.
Without warning I took down all their protections.
Queens discovered my resilience and my mercy.
Under heavy silver rain those in power ran to cover.
Thoughts of my greatness whispered in all secret places.
Yoga they have never seen with Mastery of all senses obtained.
Witnessing visions almost forgotten in ancient days long past.
Acquiring strength to find hope in sorrow.
Zooming past traps laid by fools.
Asking for amber rain.
Indigo rivers of royal blood spilt.
Without doubt I belong to empires yet founded and peoples yet born.

Swing to the left
Swing to the right
The usual debacle
On election night
Steady the ship!
And hold on tight
As the boat careers
From left to right
It doesn't matter
Who wins the vote
They all are sharks
Circling the boat
Whether red or blue
They play the game
Of whale sized lies
And avoiding blame
One side comes in
The other goes out...
It's the ebb and flow
Of political clout
Brazenly presenting
As competent leaders
But in truth .....
They're bottom feeders

Wild ocean encourages it, worlds grow
buit on rip currents of the past;
The result is a monochrome rainbow;
Adult goals that feel like a fantasy,
childhood hopes that hold your soul;
If you can visualize it? So it shall be;
Grounded by a plethora of knowledge
that bestows such endless dreams,
walk fearless right off that ledge;
In a safe space you're free to wander
anywhere that you wish to go;
Surf those tidal waves of wonder.

Pinks and blues, summer hues
Walking on the shore
I etch her name into the sand
The tide flows in to pour
Eraser fluid over it
It thinks that it's so smart
It thinks because her name is gone
She's no longer in my heart
Foolish tide, recede again
Now try to find her name
You've defeated your own purposes
The ocean's staked its claim
Her name now drifts invisibly
Washed into the sea
But if you listen to a shell
You'll hear her calling me

As soon as I touched the blue
It comforted me as she once did
Her light being the most beautiful hue
Pulling me in like a vortex
Putting life into context
As I dive down into darkness
Hiding from the world in loneliness
I'm compelled to touch the blue
To experience her hue

Lustful thoughts cluster inside me
Spiralling anguish is my tidal sea
I’m in the womb of warped-up lies
Pry your eyes open before life dies
I gave life to restoration of positivity
Numberous numbing sensations hit at me all at once now
Ashamed and humiliated honestly
Compassion and satisfaction is what I need somehow
Fear formulates inside my cranium once again
Speak to me in riddles of radiance and let my ink never dry at ease
For I’m your one and only poetic artist’s pen
I’m watching the peak of the mountain turn to shadowy valleys

We crashed and collided
Wild waves spilling our wreckage across these shores
Beautiful disasters
We were caught in the tide

A promotion!?!
Love is the top emotion,
That puts all good things in motion.
Let me just make this one simple notion,
That true love is at the heart of the ocean.
That is, tidal locomotion brings no commotion,
Just loving some emotion with simple devotion.
Yield lustful promotions as ones demotion...
Is finding true love with a potion.
Go back to the ocean!

Tidal Waive
I woke up at the bottom of a wave.
At least, I think I was awake.
You collapsed upon me
and ground sand into concussed
memory.
My eyes opened, but my breath, in terror, was taken.
Rolled into a ball on the dark beach,
I am afraid.
I must...must stay awake.
