Tsunamis Poems

The lighthouse at Battery Point, Crescent City, CA

The lighthouse
alone on the hill
just a tree at its side
its beacon 
that light

It casts a long light
in a long blink
and then it's gone 
in a spin
to mark the shore within

It sits on its own island
only accessible on low tide
the path a bridge
mercurial moat that hides it

The building is lit at night
as well as its beam
presenting an eerie glow
In the fog it seems

Almost haunted
romantic
so substantial

It's survived tsunamis
wrapped around its base
which left no trace
as they ravaged inland

A sight to see
A hike I intend to aspire
up those circular stairs
to peer out through that light tower


The lighthouse at Battery Point, Crescent City, CA

the case of rebellion of the west coast

be warmed be aware to those who mock the lord
the rules and regulations are there for a reason not scare
to those who believe be warned the weather has changed earth will quake 
be sure take cover of forced to swim for the sea will come in and take what it wants by force repent while you can the laws change your world and state 5 or more people having the same dream same vesion no turning back tsunamis earthquakes even fires that are showing god's warning you heed the preacher i sent! came back to me where there's still time i will yet save you from this coming disaster

climate change

    what comes tomorrow
    leaves some elements of doubt
    earths rain wind and fire
    seems to dominate the skies
    save for our eternal light

    arctics melting ice
    overflowing tropic isles
    oceans reclaim land
    earthquakes raise tectonic plates
    tsunamis obliterate

    carbon dioxide
    polluting earths atmosphere
    fossil fuels banned
    net zero global warming
    when will mankind understand

Nuclear Nemesis : The Golden Dome

Written By:  D. Collins 5/29/25


With no magnetic field nor atmosphere.
Wouldn't radiation rain down everywhere?
What physics are involved with explosions in space?
And what would be the outcome of the human race?


Would it completely throw our moon out of whack?
Causing major tsunamis or have they thought about that?
I'm no genius but I have simple common sense.
Explosions in space will make something happen.


That irrational greed for the power over all.
Most likely would become our final downfall.
I can't be sure if out there other life exists.
If it does, I'm sure they're having none of it.

Braving out the Tsunami

A huge tsunami did not bother these two
Maude McMillian and her twin sister Sue
They got in their shopping cart and rode a wave
Many commented those old gals are brave

We have been in tsunamis worse than this one said
Yes, and we are still alive said her sis, nowhere dead
They laughed and chortled as they blew around the town
Watching street lights and bridges falling swiftly down

This is no big deal, nothing like the storm of 1992
Maude agreed with her identical twin sister Sue
They snatched up a cat, a dog and two rabbits to save
Sparing them from death and an early grave

POET AT SEASIDE

     Footsteps in the sand
      Tsunamis of dreams
       waves of thoughts

A New York Moment

One midnight moment
will hover over a grain of sand,
a quartz, a glass facet,
a sphere spun
by a self-winding collective consciousness.
Everything will change - nothing will.
Mice will not transform back to white horses,
tsunamis will always be
just one wave away from possible.
Crowds will gather, cheers will disperse.
One lone firework will fall to earth
to fizzle on as bright as it can
for a while.

A Beast from a Forgotten Land

In the jungle's heart, where shadows and spirits blend,
A silent hunter, a forest's friend.
Stripes of amber, black and gold,
The tale of power, courage and bold.

Its eyes burn bright, flaming hue,
Reflecting the skies of cerulean blue.
Its claws are like a silver, steel sword,
As it rules the jungle as its legendary lord.

Its roar splits heaven and hell,
As earthquakes and tsunamis are caused by a shattering yell.
Hunters poach them for their magnificent, golden robes,
As its lengthy tail is like a serpent coiling the globe.

It lives among the jungles, sand, wetlands and snow,
During the dark, its orange, blazing eyes begin to glow.
Deers, birds and boars is a king's delightful feast,
As the enemy feared this bloodthirsty beast.

The speed of the beast is beyond the stars,
As its back is full of lacquer, black scars.
The beast itself ruled Lanka with Tamil kings,
The sabre-like fangs and crushing claws blings.


Oh Tiger, the guardian of the land,
Let Lord Murugan feel you with his divine hand.
Let Lakshmi shower you with wealth, fortune and prosperity,
As the beast speaks to the people in a tone of sincerity.

Divine Nature

Prehistoric knowledge stirs then erupts 
like lava
All that's left is volcanic ash after mountainous
epiphanies
My esoteric philosophies burn from the inside 
out
Destructive bouts of genius ensue as New Age
ideas stick like glue
There's nothing new under the sun & there's
no stopping this intellectual drip
Rays of light shine then fall like rain touching
everything in view
Many cups runneth over all eager for you to 
take a sip
Enlightening you with every drop your synapses
pop with thunderous claps
Oceans of emotions churn until tsunamis of thoughts
overtake you 
A naturally disastrous silence hits like the dawn
of a new day
A calming peace comes over you like sitting under
a tree in the shade
That feeling will never leave you no matter 
the season
Everyone awakens at different times for
different reasons
The universe speaks in many ways & at some point
we all hear what it has to say
To disregard the natural order of things would in
& of itself be treason

Me Oh My Oh on the Bio

Pops
Kind husband, vigilant father, loving son, mischievous brother
Brother of Lizard and Kippie-bombs
Lover of Khatabeak, Danbug and Benbot
Who feels joyful, happy and satisfied
Who fears giant Joro spiders, level 4 biohazards, and tsunamis
Who would like to see an end to mourning, outcry and pain

Daddy


My wife sustains my life, leaves me always wanting more
Just love her sweet persistence, she’s the one that I adore
From her I get—action, main attraction, chain reaction
From her I get—kindness, love that binds us, to remind us

THE CRUELTY OF TIME

Oh, how cruel time can be!
Shattering hopes and killing beauty.
Slowly it steals moments, leaving everything bare
Time, a relentless force, beyond compare.

Here lies a victim of time's cruelty, the ruins of the cotton tree
Once a symbol of resilience, a beacon of the free
Now a reminder of nature’s vulnerability.
It withstood tsunamis over the years
Yet a mere breeze brought it to tears.

Time robs us of the things we love,
Leaving empty spaces in the skies above.
Its callous hands never rest
Leaving scars upon each beating chest.

The beauty of Freetown, green all year round
Gasping for breath as its life was unbound.
Freetowneans gather to the weeping sound
As on May 24th, the mighty tree was felled to the ground.

We'll seize the moments, stand with pride
For in the end, when all is said and done
Time's cruelty fades, and life's victories are won.
A new tree is just being born...

From Grief to Glory

They were long and tousled,
when the heart felt
the first jolt of despair. 

With each passing moment,
the strands reaching further,
weathering tsunamis,
thunder, sighs, wailing;
Life. 

Every tug or tear, destroying 
the tresses from within, in 
the blink of an eye, unnoticed. 

They were short and shaggy 
for a while after that first 
goodbye.

Like a Phoenix, they spread 
their wings, regaining what is
lost. 

They are long and flowing,
singing the symphony of 
triumph and resilience,
now that the heart is home.

Channeled Waves

I tune in to the channel coming forth & then
present what's coming through
A train of thoughts move like locomotives only
stopping for a few
From the ethers they descend like falling rain
precipitating flow from the sky
When they come all are drenched in declarations 
bathing in the waters of divine
Surfing the annals of the mind can cause historical
waves to erect
Tsunamis destroy paradigms in a flash before
proceeding to redirect
By many it's seen as a disaster but viewed as a 
blessing by a few
Sometimes we have to destroy to rebuild again &
make room for the new
Your ships may be docked for a spell but will sail
again when weather breaks
The will can be an unstoppable force to behold
moving like a train without its brakes
It's wet after clouds formed & quickly passed bringing
out the sun after the rain
Tears fell from the heavens to what's below washing
away the dirt & the pain
The eye in the sky sees all in one take illuminating
what's low from a higher place
Open channels flow with higher purpose seeking their
level & making waves in another space

the immigration bill 3-2-1 shoot down

Gun funds fought latin commies
And launched immigrant tsunamis
Trump's wall at the border
Now reads out of order
And can't stop the kids and their mommies

Don't forget gang deportation
That affected some latin nation
What we sent down there
Gave many a scare
Being bullied is no vacation

Republicans caught in a lie
We do know why they won't vote aye
They'd the polls ruffle
With border kerfuffle
Designed to make Biden the bad guy

Earth Mother

I swam in your ocean
Flew in your skies
Mother Earth so 
Nurturing and wise
Now you fight back
With perilous fury
Waves and storms
The bodies we bury
Tsunamis and earthquakes 
Sandstorms and snow
We have poisoned you
Chemicals in tow
I hope you forgive
Our ignorant ways
Man has deserted you
Mother Earth nights and days
