Poem Category: Ships & Oceans

a boat
beached on the sand
to a shining sea

minutes to
Davy Jones’s locker
the horizon Sun

shimmering
inches from the sea
till the Sun sinks

taller than Pines
a forest of kelp
too deep for moonlight

dolphins
shooting the waves
I sail alone

lightning
ignites the ocean
I sail alone

the tall ship
sails tonight
on the sailors below

Tropic isle
the travelled seed
first germinates.

Pleasure yachts
the fondle the tides shape
around their rears.

Lighthouse beam …
the sounds of the shore
between our sails.
