Ocean Of Man's Heart

Ocean Of Man's Heart

The ocean of man's heart is deep
every now and then it will leak.

The ocean of man's heart is cold
sometimes reaching into his soul.

The ocean of man's heart is sure
sometimes polluted but spirit remains pure.

The ocean of man's heart is clear
playing silently to his inner ear.

The ocean of man's heart is deep
watch out for loves little leaks.

Sailing In Your Eyes

Sail with you in your oceans of blue
feel the endless waves of joyful and painful tears on my skin
this journey for me now endless
as I sail with you in your oceans of blue

though the ship may list
water may threaten
drowning of me sometimes your thought

I will sail with you in your oceans of blue
your eyes truly the windows journey to your soul

We Decide

Oceans
Ocean of green
Or ocean of red?
We decide
If it should be dead
We are nothing more then parasites
Infesting this body
But if we think as one
We can become somebody

I do an awful lot of scuba diving. I love to be on the ocean, under the ocean. I live next to the ocean.

None See The Beauty Of The Other

A thirsty oarsman
Took a gulp of sea water
And spit it on the ocean's face.
The ocean was irritated
And quizzed: what are you doing!
The oarsman quipped:
Why you are roaring
And keep on earth worthless
As being tasting salt
Not worth to drink
To quench a thirsty!
It was the rivers
Running to me in tears
Worried about their parting
With the ravines they loved
That made me bitter with salt!
The ocean quivered and spelt.
The oarsman found
A lot of fauna moving
Up to surface and moving

Leaning Into The Afternoons

Leaning into the afternoons I cast my sad nets
towards your oceanic eyes.

There in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames,
its arms turning like a drowning man's.

I send out red signals across your absent eyes
that smell like the sea or the beach by a lighthouse.

You keep only darkness, my distant female,
from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges.

Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets
to that sea that is thrashed by your oceanic eyes.

The birds of night peck at the first stars
that flash like my soul when I love you.

The night gallops on its shadowy mare
shedding blue tassels over the land.

An ocean of Love

Have you ever sailed on vast ocean,
With no island to see, and things are out of reach?
With dreams and mysteries filled this ocean,
And a never ending faith that someone would teach?

Have you ever felt that feeling,
Of a deep calmness within you that's hard to fight?
And no one could help you believing,
That you're striving for the right?

Did you ever sailed on an ocean,
That further placed upon your heart?
For deeply below this ocean,
Lies a silent whisper, where love starts.

An ocean of Love, the ocean of dreams
Where you can find solace and exceptional truth
Though pain resides even if you don't dream
As the existence of love bears its fruit.

The Ocean Rose (An Homograph/Homonym Poem) ...

The Ocean Rose
Scent Of The Sea
Brisk Blue-Green Perfume
Of Serenity

The Ocean Rose
Blossomed Open
Drowned Its Hook-Thorns
To Let Hope In

The Ocean Rose
Within A Vase
Of Exquisite, Exotic
Deep Seabed Base

The Ocean Rose
Sat Like A Prize On
A Jeweled Box
Below A Horizon

Dancing to the Sunset

Melodies of romance harmonize
with aquamarine ocean
Constant waves gently touch
golden sandy beaches
Oceanic breeze embraces palms
in a passionate motion
Blowing towards the land
a refreshing ventilation

As the time goes by evening sun
slowly dips down
Sparkling glow timely fades
on the distant horizon
Melting the beauties of the day
on crimson sky
Lighting lumninous flambeaus
by the seaside

With The Copenhagen Climate Summit Flop

With the Copenhagen Climate Summit flop it cannot be denied
That the last hope of survival for many oceanic islands has died
Doomed to be swallowed by the rising sea
The politics of greed through nationalism the bane of humanity,
For the inhabitants of small ocean islands the future seems bleak indeed
Forsaken by the leaders of the World's most powerful Nations in their time of need
The painful reality they have come to realize
That they have to leave their islands as the sea levels rise
The so called Copenhagen agreement just an idle boast
Those who have contributed least to carbon emissions are those who will suffer most
The millions living in Third World Countries and the inhabitants of Oceanic Islands will sadly lose out
Of a bleak future for millions of poor people there can be little doubt
And all due to the politics of human greed
Of our own demise we may be sowing the seed.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

I Have To Cross The Great Ocean

I have to cross the great ocean
with my little boat
which has thousand holes
please tell my friend
how to cross the great ocean

The waves of the ocean are too high
than that of height of mount Everest
thousand Tsunamis are yet to come
please tell my friend
how to cross the great ocean

The little boat gifted to me by my Lord
I do not find another boat
due to my carelessness there is thousand holes
no mechanics can repair it
but i have to cross the great ocean

please tell my friend
how to cross the great ocean

Reflections-4

1 Morning ocean

Grey clouds, yawning waves
Orange sky, foaming folds, caws
Azure down water

2 Evening Ocean

Yellow orange dusk
Birding tides, breezing amber
Farther peer silver

3 Moonlit Ocean

Sheening moon wavy
Musing sky starry.Best done
Moon fed ocean feasts

4 Nighted Ocean

Ocean Of Tears

Come take my hands
and lift me up
from this ocean of tears.

I'm weary
but I wish to live
and see what is life
beyond this ocean of tears.

Come take my hands
and lift me up
from this ocean of tears.

I beg you
oh, I beg you
be strong enough
to lift me up
because I don't want you
to stay with me
in this ocean of tears.

Mind Song Whale Song Sung

poetic thoughts passed
through me part of mind
song whale song sung

through huge oceans
throughout this world
through water world

oceans are like God’s tears
cried through love of us
love creations slaughtered

as you hunt us down kill us
delight in seas red harvest blood
feast upon our sacrifice flesh

until then we sing mind songs
in love life swimming oceans
in light near surface or darkness
