I stand at the edge of the inkwell
With a pen in one hand trying to think well
The other hand is at my head holding seashells
Listening to the secrets of the oceans in detail
Where angelfish give me directions to buried treasures
I once thought dolphins were very clever
Until I discovered broken promises echo forever

I wrote this letter for a friend hoping to get her
But emotions wave to and fro so she never read it……………………….

Now it just surfs in her ocean
A hollow bottle with an empty message
I was cursed by her essence
Like the Pirates of the Caribbean
Held hostage by the moon and my heart’s never leaven’
You see my last companion was part human and dragon
Mermaid mix stingray look her way your gone
With Octopus arms and medusa like charm
Hold hearts once radiant strong and warm
Now turned into cold spheres of stone
I was always to slow to respond like turtles
Afraid to swim in her ponds
Unsure of what we would spawn
Now things are cold South Pole long gone
Titanic like crisis be on my control
No second chance No freebie
Flying penguins swim by whispering

“B e C a l m T a k e I t E a s y”

I suppose our love was thrown in tidal wave 3D
Trouble brings hurricanes murder things quickly
Yet her beaches are golden - clear sand - knee deep
Beauty unwoven into diamonds and pearls
She doesn’t need me
My roses disposed of like washed up sea weed
Sunset’s graffiti
Leaving the shadows of my memories greedy
To remember her more
This battle was lost before we reached shore
Now I wonder the ocean floor with empty hands
The hardheaded captain who waited to the last minute
To abandon a sunken “relation “ship
Now upset – feet forever wet – unable to forget
Shipwreck in the Bermuda triangle
Emotions holding regrets
I found Atlantis in her kiss
And her fingerprints left evidence
For intelligence on the moon
Now I cruise the lagoons open view
Singing new tunes
The seagulls label “Oceanblues”
