Sit back and relax / Feel the waves wash over your back / In the melting sun

My sea is far away, / let's meet somewhere closer, / under the same cloud.

Cheesy rhymes
I want to be your sunset eyes, those blue skies, you're perfect starry night. / I want to be the shore kissed by the sea, I want to have everything causally, I want you and me. / I want to be the waves when they dance alone, the midnight tone, I want to be your back bone.

That Rain Poem
Sitting in some car in a forgotten parking lot / Grey marks the skies / Lush green plants peeping in

Drakensberg Sonnet
We're forced, each man, to walk a trialed path— / resisted trek, uphill through blinding daze / that shrouds with crucible's perplexing haze

I closed my mouth: / And spoke to you in the language of the rain drops, / Whispered to you in the language of the flowers,

*The surf provides lullabies / as ocean echoes roll. / Too soon, the sunlight glitters

submissions to post secret
kissing you was like swerving into oncoming traffic / i can never tell if i am more haunted by empty picture frames or the ashes of their contents / you taught me that the saying *"pick your battles"* meant not answering when love was at the door

I Know Depression (Slam Poem, Edited Version)
Everyone talks about depression as if they know it. / But what they don’t know is that depression is a hooded figure standing just outside of a wooden doorway, / it’s feeling the blood dripping down your skin and having the sick thought of “Oh, look how beautiful the red is” (they always say red is my color).

(Quick)Sandcastles
He was the ocean; handsome, but yet, Impulsively damaged. He had a sandy heart to correspond his sandy eyes, the moon dismantled that omitted pride he carried at a dead weight; shoveling and reshaping it, so people would see a sandcastle statue assembled in strength. But his washed-up soul and unannounced insecurities were aware of its genuine purpose, / this beach alongside his pupils; / quicksand, he'll sink so slowly in. Waves in his hair like ripples on his cheeks, skipping stones land at his defeat, he left notes in bottles for you, sank multiple ships for you, because he hasn't the heart to say he's desiccating with the arrival of the stars.. Retracting scars are not too far from gasps for air, foaming words of crisis by writing in the sand, signaling a light as the last one in him died. You wouldn't understand, the calm before the storm, as valve after valve puncture him. So intoxicating as it drains him, and from within, he's drying out. Sunburns stain him, a smile restrains him,

Loneliness
I'm surrounded by a sea of people / As far as the eye can see / All flowing in the same direction

The Art of Procrastination
Mountains on mountains erupt from the earth's chambers of burdened lava and collapse back into their hellish landscape just as quickly / Waves assault the beach in frenzied randomness, striking their mark upon the sand and washing it away in the same breath / Birds flail about, learning to sail the clouds while dolphins soar their vast expanse of golden sea

A Life
Touch it: it won't shrink like an eyeball, / This egg-shaped bailiwick, clear as a tear. / Here's yesterday, last year ---

New horizons
Trapped in a cage with golden bars of light / Of ancient habit and direful duties; / Below the water crashed into the bight,

On Poets and Farts
Why do poets always talk about the ocean's waves, / about their single file march to shore, / and yet never talk about my grandmother's farts,

Tonight is Ours
Let me mold my body along your curves; **trickle yourself into my entire being** / *Vulnerable, nude, my heart exposed*, palpably we connect across the starry sky; **you ... within me** / *I want your intimacy to linger along the edges of my lips hours after you've gone*

He pulled and parked the supply red wagon, / then climbed the mast to the captain's cabin. / Captain Red is ready for adventure.
