Oh I Do Like To Die Beside The Seaside

Oh, i would like to die beside the seaside
In dreams that set me free
My spirit blowing out to sea
Body ceasing to be in this wild deep cemetery.
Wonders cast will fill my soul
While my past on tide will roll.
To breathe the one clean air
To find her in dreams somewhere
One foot on Heaven's stair
-But then i wake up in a chair.
Oh i would like to die beside the seaside
Sunlit diamonds scatter the ocean
As seabirds, freebirds, chatter in motion
And schools of whales teach love and devotion
The haunted songs that they bring
Across deepest waters ring.
As i climb to nimbus height
Flying like a roguish kite, embracing blue moonlight
Chasing dancing stardust sprite
On fiery journey burning bright

If only I pass into nothingness

Should turn up in my memory wheat grain crops,
blonde waves inspire me everlasting wavings,
the bird`s song : the field – a big dissoluteness,
the days` south secretly between us does sift it(...)

Should I look into the thought`s depth : a river
which lightens Undeath – spend my years,
and I have your face like the seaside of the wheat ears:
an icon, that it steals my everything – time!

If only I pass into nothingness,
I will remember you for ever
rich soil for love –
my seaside-longing!,
blonde dreamings will sift you –
young(...)
when,
I –
forgetten
seagulls

I told the Inland Revenue I didn't owe them a penny because I lived near the seaside.

the closing Curtain

sail on mother boat, as the
anchorage of seaboard tip fail
for the last rope brings drops of
grace

wide open your hands, grip so tight
the slippery road excuses no one, as the
speed forward to the top on the northern sky

weight all the silver and let the gold
sink for nothing, only the lighted
one will comes first...

At The Seaside, A Solitude

the seaside is peaceful
the sky is blue with white cumulus clouds hanging there
slowly they move and change shapes
like the air is painting and mixing the colors in space
gentle hues graceful strokes
the white sands extend to some miles
the coconut trees are like handshakes
their shadows restive and steady
i lay my body weary of the years
i look at all these lines and circles and spheres
i like to give up thinking and just be a spectator
i let them talk and i merely listen
the seaside, the seagull, the clouds, the coconut trees, the white sands,
the circles and spheres and lines extending
to nowhere.

i cover my eyes with a straw hat. I cease.

To Marry A Poet

The great seasgull is now in the sky! !
Fantasy;
But, you are at the seaside waiting for your lover because,
You want to marry a poet.

Arts and nature!
Love is in the air;
Because, everything around us are part of the beauty of nature! !
And like the sweet muse of love to educate the mind.

Imagination,
Life,
Peace and love;
But you are ready to learn from everybody and,
You want ot marry a poet!
And, this poem is for you my love.

How lovely is your heart?
How lovely is your muse?
How lovely is your mind?

Whithersoever Tara wandered then,
Even seaside, she was followed by men.
But all stopped their pursuit,
When she took off her boot
And sniffed it over and over again.

Bronze Glow Horizon - A Nonet

cool waters flow atop river rock
graceful waters caress the sea
gentle autumn winds flutter
seagulls take flight beyond
bronze-glow horizon
and land upon
sandy white
seaside

Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the moutains... But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree... when thou canst at a moment's notice retire into thyself.

I Hear It Was Charged Against Me

I HEAR it was charged against me that I sought to destroy
institutions;
But really I am neither for nor against institutions;
(What indeed have I in common with them?--Or what with the
destruction of them?)
Only I will establish in the Mannahatta, and in every city of These
States, inland and seaboard,
And in the fields and woods, and above every keel, little or large,
that dents the water,
Without edifices, or rules, or trustees, or any argument,
The institution of the dear love of comrades.

A friend who is miles away

It is here we met
by the seaside,
It is here we said goodbye,
though many years have gone by
I still come here with a sigh,
in the setting sun,
to get a glimpse of thee
and to find my tears
that have mingled with the sea

When I was nine, we'd take a bus to the seaside. Coming back, we'd take turns entertaining, singing songs and the like. I tried some stand-up comedy. I had a captive audience in that bus. Then I realized I wanted to do more than that.

032410i You Could Be Better Student

seven after in eastern seaboard
tired bodies is about rested now
probably watch an hour of tv ads
kids are plastered to homeworks
which make them useless at home
can't clean their rooms or eat right

i guess teachers are not talking
to each, they thought they're only
one in the whole wide world who
is giving a homework, too much
at an average you sleep at two am
go to school at seven; zombie

not only that books are so heavy
who read books, transfer to cd
put it in website and we link up
we do assignment then upload
give us pc that work in the bus
or wherever we are that is class

To The States

WHY reclining, interrogating? Why myself and all drowsing?
What deepening twilight! scum floating atop of the waters!
Who are they, as bats and night-dogs, askant in the Capitol?
What a filthy Presidentiad! (O south, your torrid suns! O north, your
arctic freezings!)
Are those really Congressmen? are those the great Judges? is that the
President?
Then I will sleep awhile yet--for I see that These States sleep, for
reasons;
(With gathering murk--with muttering thunder and lambent shoots, we
all duly awake,
South, north, east, west, inland and seaboard, we will surely awake.)

Bolton

Black skin,
Black eye,
Black hair,
Black lips,
Black tail! !
A small one,
A long one,
With the blue of the sky and,
The green of the grass!
And within time and patience,
And like the elephants at the seaside;
But, Bolton is here to teach you.

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

~ Latina Sunset ~

I stand to dissect; eye of acute,
My latina of deity sunsets to choose,

I peruse; analyzing your body motions,
My coffee cups vibrate from heavy emotions,

They call you the Island girl,
To me more precious than a pearl,

The sucombings of mens delight
As the castle sands tumble down, dont forget the crashing kite,

The envy of the sun burns from your esquisite and cabal form,
Juvenile surfers stare as the waves start to groan and scorn,

My spanish lady; the goddess of the seaside
My latina sunset: how id beseech to have you by my side,

Greater than the sun, marvel to my eye,
The seashore snails, the seabirds, and creatures that breath

Trader

[wendy:] hi
Trader
Trader sailed a jeweled crown
Humanity rowed the way
Exploring to command more land
Scheming how to rule the waves.
Trader spied a virgin plain
And named it for velvet robes
Wrote home declaring,
Theres a place
Where totally folks are free
(happily completely)
Nourishment fills the prairies and the hillsides
And animals stalk the mountains and the seaside
And fish abound the lakes and birds the skies
Signed sincerely.
Trader found the jeweled land
Was occupied before he came
By humans of a second look
Who couldnt even write their names shame
