Hello Sailor
Sailing solo is unsafe
and it's not much fun
one winds up talking to oneself
before the day is done
but a bad day on the water
or so someone said
beats a good day at the office
(and I would know)
snug in my bunk bed
so gentlemen here's a tip for you
as all good sailors do
(when they want to wee believe you...

After ThoughtsLegacies of the now and the after
Blossoms and glooms in a cycle
A breech of sadness and laughter
Thoughts of the past in the present
The after life dreaded thoughts
These are thoughts of the after life

The Cheese of EuripidesTingling of tongue sent Euripides
Questing a tastier kind of cheese.
"I found cheddar magical,"
Said this poet tragical,
"Sailing the southern antipodes.”...

DotPeople think I am a separator of two sentence
Surely, in my mind I have no vengeance,
I am just a full stop to a line
But I have more to gain,
I am a small round mark
But all can make me dark,
I am just a short click
And easily you can pick,
I am a buzz forming a letter
In fashion,...

A Mother’s Day VoyageMy mother dear, the world's our stage today,
Let's celebrate in a vibrant, global way.
For you, the sun around which my life does spin,
A Mother's Day adventure, let the journey begin!
First, Mexico's joy, a mariachi band's call,
Awakening rhythms to enthrall.
We'll feast on delights, a royal decree,
In the land of vibrant celebration, just for...

Dionysus Markets AsphodelMayst tell them, though they leave a sacred land,
Where every inch with rich conception spanned,
With diligence, in Hades mayst they find
A path that to Elysian Fields doth wind.
So many burdens, all the Earth now mars;
So many pleasures, circumstance doth slay;
Enough, I say, of all of this, be done.
For what becomes of all your struggles here,
But...

Dionysus, Demeter and ZeusMy friends, it is a dismal thing
At such an hour to pound and ring!
Let others shiver if they must,
I shall not greet a sky of rust!
Let first the air be half so warm
As in this covered nest I form.
And then, perhaps, if need of it,
I’ll lift an eye, and half-way sit.
Forever slept, thou fiendish, foul-formed...

An Angel Visits the EarthAn angel sent to visit us on Earth,
The realm of bliss to this of grinding woe;
What must she think to dwell in love's sad dearth?
But angels need not think, for all they know.
Perhaps she knows the meaning of it all,
And softly beats her wings to sooth our cries;
Perhaps she knows that mortal crises fall,
And all...

Timeless deathHave I turned to see your beautiful
metal stiff body, that shines through
the rivers of thoughts, I've seen you before.
Entered and broken picture with no frame
multidimensional portrait of my future lady
thousand years and soulless time machine.
Bring me back to you am I just a fool,
for loving you, the flower has died,
frozen ground and tough love,...

POETIC GIGGING: Apropos Of My Hot ToddyAfter a tired
labor of love day
got on the Trane
and after a few Miles
I reached Monk
later laying
back travelling
towards Sarah
and Nina
and after
getting Dizzy
headed West
boarded Bird
flying onto Art
leaving me
to ink
this poetic flow
I’m sharing with you
before my melatonin
MJQ disembark
to peacefully Cannonball
deeply into
poetic gigging…

Changing TackEnrolling as a pirate is much harder than it seems,
You’ll need to speak in present tense and chase your wildest dreams.
Well, once you’ve trained a parrot and been measured for your hook,
You have to plough through pages of the health and safety book.
The pointed end’s the bow, whilst your rudder’s near the aft,
Our crow’s...

Risk AdverseOn the morrow ships will sail
To roam beyond the hidden veil
And brave the stormy seas to see
If ships holds carry destiny
Yet here we will to seaward keep
The watch that holds our wandering feet
From paths and fields and trees and thought
Believing in the lies we've bought
Waiting here on well worn quays
To count the line of endless...

Just EightShe was just eight when she stood at the gate
Looking at the distant sun moving with the clouds
while the trees rock with the speed of the wind and heavens
composed a wonderful hymn, it was the Sunday school
song that was playing in her head of how the Roman
Soldiers bury their dead when the battle ends.
There...

VentureIn better days of better ways we chanced upon the mind
Of great and grand adventure, of great and grand design
To sail the open seas coursing near and far
Uncharted in the ways, unguided by the stars
At the mercy of the wind we vied the stormy seas
To mount the raging crests and weather in the lees
Onward ever...
