The rain,
makes my grass glow fluorescent green,
and grow like it’s on steroids.

Love,
makes my heart a mix of hyper-serene,
like out-of-water chimaeroids.

How do we ride these natural phenomena?
Trustingly —
the rippling end
of shining waves
like rain
Another version of one I wrote a while ago.

I.

Waves crash into roiling warmth
Foam settles, slows, then stops—
a moment’s pause,
the bottom of the ocean’s breath,
waiting for the pull back to sea.

Receding, a grief:
friction twixt the sand and water,
the wave inclining to gravity,
sinking through the grains.

Each touch a bond—
temporary, fleeting—
lost to the reliquary,
in every wave retold.

II.

So grief lays down
its film of salt—
to remind the sand
of what was and soon will be.

Each crest a vow
that cannot last,
each fall a promise
to begin again.

if the words were real
and leapt off the line?

because you're skilled, or
because you have nothing else?

if they only lied to save your feelings?

if all it took were imagination?

if light weighed more than a thousand bricks?

             Upon the pier, the wind and absence
             gazing out, darkening all into an empty
             canvas or pond, canvas or chasm, why not
             both or nothing but it's too cold to stand
    
             Even stars bend from pressing distance
             but eyes can capture what hands only touch

if he truly believed,
the waves would hunger yet

I learned from the water,
You need to rock the boat,
To survive.

In order to keep in balance,
You must move against the waves,
To keep from going down.

When you reach the island shore,
Lay on the sand,
Staring at the blue backed sea,

Knowing you made it through.
A rocky old row boat is all we have against the storms of late.
Sailing ⛵️ in the life sea 🌊
  Travelling with the deep sea…
     Going far with the vast sea…
On the way sailing with;
       Gigantic creatures of sea….
Even with high waves;
      it still keep the calmness in sea…  
Neither the sorrow;
     nor the happiness,
              endure with the wide sea…
We just keep sail with the deep sea
Nor the destiny known;
       Nor the route seen so far…
We just sail with the waves of life sea 😍
Life is a vast sea of happiness and sorrow
SUMMER ******!!!
What a Drag!!!
missing out on fun
you could've had;
Instead of Sunbathing and
chilling on the sand,
Because of your actions,
off the Beach
YOU WERE BANNED!!!
Your mind is ***** and
your INTENTIONS
are WEAK, but
Who told you it was
OK for you to STREAK???
It was quite a shock, and
a DEFINITE SCARE!!!
You out here running around
FLAT OUT BARE!!!
Get off the beach and
away from this BAY!!
5-0's been notified and are on the way
HOW DARE YOU!!!
YOU PERVE!!!
YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED!!
You try that again you'll
never see the light of day!!
I must admit He was insane

He probably was really DRUNK or
strung out on DRUGS

or be somewhat

say is to
BE AWARE!!!

Note: No offense but there's
too much going on
in this World Today.
I'm just seeing too
many naked people.
Please leave the
drugs alone.
If, in the environment in which we exist,
There is never not light shining -
Then the logical inference
Is that there is never either silence.

For instance,
There are one's own thoughts.
There is one's own heartbeat.
One's blood flowing,
One's own decay & growing.
Decaying which grows
From growth after growing.
The decay of the body's harmony -
Of its own regulatory systems.

Such things are solvable.
Establishing new order -
Liberating Nature;
Through Tranquility, Harmony.
But only through Harmony, Tranquility.

Time shows Nature - Kronos shows Gaia;
Nature shows Time - Gaia shows Kronos -
You are all undeserving,
You are all unworthy.

Think you're the only children,
Think you're only children.

I’m not thrilled of open water
I always liked my feet on dry land.
But the days are getting hotter,
I’ll have to deal with my toes in sand.

Dreams got me thinking of a sun
so hot it could toast my skin.
Stick a fork in me and call me done,
and let the feast begin.

Sometimes I think and sometimes I wish
that I had the courage to just jump ship,
and pray that the sirens
would guide me to the islands.
The water’s fine to take a dip,
do I have the courage to jump ship?
I’ll be searching for the sirens,
hoping I can still find them.

I get pulled in with currents of my emotion,
I gave up swimming as soon as it started.
Because who in this world can fight the ocean,
when it wants you to be departed?

Dreams got me thinking of palm trees,
leafs so big they create a world of shade.
Feeling of a nice summer breeze
cutting me up like a razor blade.

Sometimes I hope the fabric of reality will rip,
and that I gain the courage to just jump ship,
and pray that the sirens
would guide me to the islands.
Teeth are shaking just like my lip
do I have the courage to jump ship?
I’ll be searching for the sirens
hoping I can still find them.

I want to live amongst the waves shining
like gold paint,
but I’ll only ever find my silver lining
if I become an angel or a saint.
Yet I’ll hope that the sirens
can take my demons and blind them.
