At home in the foam
the oceans I roam
I move from place to place
with the water I displace
as I swim threough the sea
the water and salt evaporate me.

   Soothing the sounds that reach my ear
the seagulls and otters chattering away I hear.
Looking up at the spray catching my eye,
the sun, the sounds, the sights, I started to cry.
Beauty abounding everywhere that I look
sea sarounding me I savor the sareality in each little nook.

   Outstreching your hand, you reach for a cloud,
the shadow it casts an ominous shroud.
Watching in wonder and aw, the clouds stack high.
Amazed as the waves begin to pick up for a storm draws nigh.
Crashing about, the waves, and the wind, and the lightning crack.
Rain pounding before you, thrusting you to and fro, slapping your back.

   The motion continues to calm.
The sounds simply sooth all the noise away.
The light laguishing lovingly on lucious glowing skin.
She swims slowly beneeth me a giant blue whale slumbering past.

   Back to the ocean, at home in the foam of the sea.
the water and salt evaporate me.
Swiming through bliss not a care in the world.
Melting away as the wonders of the ocean call you to her, call you home.
To the water, and salt, and the sea, and the foam.
i like to watch the dolphins its my favourite thing
such a lovely creature oh what joy they bring
leaping through the air high in to the sky
such a sight to see as they go flying bye.

with there smiley face as friendly as can be
swiming in the ocean roaming wild and free.
mother natures child and master of the sea
just to watch the dolphins means so much to me.

I had cried a sea of tears
And began to drown.

Trashing out, Unheard screams
Bubbles filled my lungs.

I long for safety and a home
Not this empty black cavern thats sinking very near.

I look up out of desparation
far above my  pain.

And then black tears turn purple,
indigo,
aqua.
I see a Turtle swiming near.

The sea Turtle I've always wanted
I realse all my fear.

I float upward crowned in a bubbling glow
My sea Turtle loves my bubbles.

And away we go.

I love this place the most,
The full moon's shadows on the rocky island coast,
There's a ring around the moon big and bright;
This is one of the most beautiful nights!

The crashing blue waves are in motion,
The whale came up out of the ocean,
There are clouds in the sky and a faint sunset in the night;
The moon rays slant under the ocean big and bright!

The fishes and dolphins swiming beautifully under the sea,
This place is quite a treasure for me,
The clouds look as if they dance;
For people call this place Diamond Head Romance.

Did you look in the mirror before you went out?
Your spiders legs are hanging out

Would u like to help me sharing my love?
I dont laugh at people, just laugh w them,
I smile to them and let them happy,
Making them feeling loved and realised.

Who wants it? Hello? Someone? Its free!

Would you like to share ur love w me?
It smells like roses,
It feels like ur relaxing swiming in the ocean,
Feels like love itself: it is Love.

Who wants it?

Would u like to spread our love to the world?
What does it seem like?
Does it make you feel happy?
Does it relax you and make you feel confident?
Does it make you smile?

Why dont we make other people smile also?
Does the love really smell like roses
Or does it just feel good by itself?

Do you need a smile or a hug?
Do you need a hand to help you
Or a shoulder to cry?

Do you think that its selfish
Or u dont deserve it?
Try 1 simple thing:
Try something called Love.

Try to give a hand who needs
And a hug to make them comfortable
And a shoulder to cry and share good and bad moments
And smile called 4giveness...

Try simply the simplicity
Try simply the honesty
Try simply the sincerity
Try simply to Love...

You´ll c, after you do all these
To whom who needs you
You´ll feel the love,
More and more stronger...

And when you look back,
You´ll feel that when you give
You will also receive...

They are not with us
Hence, we are one and the same
Living on the same ground
Breathing the same air

The sons and daugthers of poverty
Dancing with the harsh tides of reality
Swiming for dear life
In an endless pit of greed

Drowning on a quicksand of debt
Holding on the knives of the selfish
Being played by Midas hands
Puppets of false kings and emperors

We are vouyers of pain
Peeping toms of agony
We hear and we feel
We feel but we do nothing

We offer symphathy
Living their lives through emphathy
But the bitter truth we try to conceal
We are beings of apathy

Looking like were in pain
Up on the stage where all eyes can see
Narcissuses who seek a minute of fame
Playing a charades of sensitivity

What can merely looking do?
Byron Nov 2012
It is now four in morning as I wind down.
On this salty night in vagas you can see for miles.
The trees smell imported, the stripes of feet walking everywhere are visible in the floor carpets, the whole joint was colored tequila, and every face was that of an american.
Hotel hallways had grown small with the years.
There was this crane down the street, building the next casino over, again.
It stood amongst fifty-thousand billboards and american faces, all the same created, all the same.    
The tension now builds and I can only feel time.
The image of an illuminated nobody swiming in a mist pool, next to a hotel on the outskirts of town, the knowing of his distain for others, the sheer embrace of his mystic-all-knowing insignificance watching the crooked sunrise kept me going.
You once told me to pick and choose.
You once told me I should taste the air more, like a dog would, if he could sink his teeth in just right.
I took that as you wanted a mutt in your brain, maybe even a mutt in me, but I couldn't.
Not on this holiday and not at four in the morning.

I have a confession to make if you please
About some of the poems that I happen to read
I've never been much at swiming the literary sea
And the water for me can be a bit deep

All I am is a simple guy
That's learned over the years to simply rhyme
That's what I do time after time
That's how it is line after line

I might come up with some crazy ideas
But after all has been done and all has been said
What you have sitting here is all that is left
Just rhyming thoughts that pop in and out of my haed

There it is, my confession that I make to you
As I dip my toes into this poetic pool
Wearing my rythmic floaties just in case I do
Fall flat on my face like a poetic fool

I'm lost in the ocean

all alone
I'm afraid of drowning
I'm just hoping for a relief

all alone
I can't believe that no one hears me when I'm screaming out my lungs

all alone
I'm swiming in the endless ocean, searching for the end.

all alone
lost in the ocean, screaming and fighting I'm thinkg about drowning

Because drowning could be the relief I'm hoping for.

I'm swiming in this ocean
trying to find la tierra de mi alma

You are the solid ground
I'm drowning to find

to stable my world
flooded mankind

What do i dream of life, and where it go so fast? oh, how Can always go back to those days in the port, on the grassy hill in front of the Bean. A gathering of sorts, an almost mecca for the everyday people and artist alike to enjoy thier coffee's or expand their mind's. Seldom know how i remember those warm golden sunsets on the beaches, where we'd look off on the horizen and wonder what tomorrow would bring. We'd lay on our warm towel's over sand after swiming in the cold waters of the atlantic that i miss so much. What are these days and nights i see before me, as i sway back and forth like a branch in these winter winds? I know who you are now with that draw, that look. Gasp as you see me before you, like a ghost in your mirror. Do you think about the molocules in your body, how the millions of them flow thru you now like my voice thru your ear? Hear me now in his room, with the blank unknown faces of yester year and today, sipping on their what have you's, dreaming of a better tomorrow. The only dream i dream today? I won't Remember in the morning...

How pretty it is,
I am under the sweet sea,
Swiming under it.

I love it so much,
It is like another world,
Under salt water.

It is so pretty,
Waiting for me to explore,
Another sweet world.

You are my drug
I keep coming for more
Your the only thing
that gets me high
Your love's my addiction
Swiming through my veins
You are my blood
Whisky and pills
Are your kisses and hugs
You are the whisky
In my water bottle
The bass, in my song
The light on my lifes
Disco floor
Dance with me
Hold my hand
Intoxicate me
Never let me down
I can't ever get you out of my mind
I crawl to get to you everynight
Your the only one who can take away these shakes
The only one who lets me hide
My mistakes
Take me for who I am
I need you tonight
I need my high, my fix
My new drug, my you.

Eying on the stars
Look too far.
I wonder though no
they didn't whisper.
Maybe they know
the straight skinny better.
Why everyone craves
'Swiming in the moonlight
ambling by the river'!
Pauline Morris Feb 2016
Get me out of this cesspool
I'm swiming in idiotic fools
How did I get surrounded by you heartless freaks
Why can't any of you think before you speak

You all tell lies with such great speed
That my ears are starting to bleed
And all my thoughts your starting to impede
Why the **** where you allowed to breed

If I'm made to stay here with you human waste
I fear my intelligence will soon be erased
With all your mindless yakety- yak
I'm begaining to think you all must all be on crack

Oh to be a farmer,
connected to
Mother Earths gifts.

To wake up at dawn to see
the divine sunrise swiming in sky.

Oh to be a cultivator
of the food
mankind uses for substance.
washing hands with energies of soil.


Oh to be a farmer grand
have livestock
be your friend,
as one smells the sweet country air.

To walk on Gia holding dreams,
as sun shines and night stars glisten.

Oh to be a farmer, to live off the land
and feel grounded
grateful and grand.

Yesterday light strings..
I strum them with memory glow..
Rememberence of her smile..
To yesterday I go..

Grasses so green..
So cool to my bare feet..
I race my little brother..
Around my grandmothers house in the late spring..

Under bridges, Along the creek bed..
Countless ghost hear voices..
Boys fishing and swiming..
Riding bikes down the hill screaming..

Beautiful fun spirit..
Alive and strong..
Memories of color..
Memories of voices and song..
Good ol days!

U and me
We both are swiming
In this fire together
It falls like rain
Simple and plain
Dropplets riddle
Each other
And the ground moves them
Together

And in a pool
Recallers whirl
Darting away
As if
Run by some fool
Swiming like they would never reach the floor

Well you just stepped
In little waves
On which God knows how many wept
But where painters
Got their own caves
To think dinosaurs never got the chance to learn existentialism !
Star BG Sep 2017
I move jumping in my journey,
as if a frog.
Swiming as waves come.
meandering over rocks gracefully
Singing in perfect key.
Lying in moment catching suns rays.

I move connected to my frog ally
grateful as I glide
in forest landscape of dreams.
Inspired by chat I had with Stephane Stoychevska

Be the author
Wrote the story
For the glory
Else be boring

Or dragged through
Mucky sinews
Of the blackened blue
Of fish swiming through

Tentacled masses
Hidden crevaces
Idle trances
Trumpet blassin'
