Send Me an Ocean

Send me an ocean full of rainbows and dreams

Crystal blue waters, sunshine, and golden moonbeams.

Far below, endless depths, the sea’s greatest treasures,

Oh, aye, too be discovered would be a person’s greatest pleasure.

Many a mermaid raced aside the seahorse endless days,

Ships of ghosts, sail forever, silenced in the murky haze.

Oh, but then a merman, would there ever be such creature,

And schools of fish, I wonder do they really have teachers.

Send me an ocean a new world to be explored,

Let my imagination discover the opened door.

Deep within the aquatic regions

In the waters of which time still goes by

There are mammals of many features

Including one that would catch ones eye

He is a man

He is a fish

He does whatever he can

And has only one wish

To be among those that life on land

To longer be within the sea

He wants to run his feet through sand

And be just like you and me

Merman of the daunting sea

I await the light to shine on me

These fishes that once danced with glee

Now trace the love my heart deceits

And float across the farthest stream

where nature has its full glory

where rainbows gaze longingly

where cicadas thrive to laugh and be

where humans claim no authority

where love is found in misery

The Ocean Wide

The ocean wide, sea blue the depth,

Creatures great, coral current swept.

Mermen show their manly skills,

Impressing mermaids giving them a thrill.

Jumping wildly the fish, the race is set to begin,

Seahorses gathered, which one will win.

And they are off, the starfish riding along,

The school fish gathered, cheering them on.

Sharks, the treasure guard letting no divers near,

The sea shells melody choir, a joyful sound to hear.

Never a dull moment when the sea comes to life,

Except when humans dive, they disappear from sight.

The soft transition/ the waters horizon/ pulling what it belongs and drowning what does not/ the deep latches and gives the rest/be it falling into the sea or sinking into the cold moons glare

She slew me

threw me over

knew her fatal wound

crushed my immortality anew

she is one of the few

with the ability to spew hatred

from a feud so ancient

it all but blew away

except for the one lewd comment

I withdrew

in order to screw up her life

because I hate her too

Beneath the ocean miles from land beautiful creatures of water and sand. Clear as it can be a man with fins, his little army. What could they be telling me? It could very well be a sign of strength, courage to let go what's holding me back. Nothing no longer foretold. I'm letting go. To be wild and free.
