Stormy Ship

Clouds are gathering
the captain waits for no one
giant angry waves
the crew prepare for the worst
waltz of the sea and the ship

watching the warm waves
a welling within, wet eyes
moonstruck by the waves

The Nymph

A Nymph on the shore; the waves move in, calling to you softly.
The words are odd, and the expression is plain.
Something from beyond whispers, please listen to the sea, so you listen to the sea for a time.
You hear sounds under the waves.
With the Nymph’s heart so close to the palace of shells, you realise this is your watery home.

I re-wrote the Sea Nymph. It was once a poem, and now it is a Very Short Story.

Sea Colour Night

Flickering sea colours
Soft phosphorescent flickering, sea colours rise into the night.

Illuminous coral colours
Heavy, subdued, luminous waves of sea colours wash across the city.

Melting sea colours
Light meets dark between the city and the night.

Stay

The sea says farewell to the shore often;
yet I’m not as strong as the sea;
I don’t want to keep saying goodbye to you.

Stay.

At the Lighthouse

The sky is above,
and the sea is below.

Between the two sits a lighthouse, or is it just a pier?

Colours swirl, yet all is quiet at the lighthouse.

If you exist, I will come
and whisper about worlds not yet created.

We will laugh
and
cry with the sea.

Longing to be

I often lament the endings.
Crying on the couch about missing you.
What would happen if you died and I lived?
What would happen if I died and you lived?
The last glimpse of you is like the sea.
I longing to be close to you again.
