silence,
It's the silence I have learned to love. Sunrise on a nesting gull or a marsh wren's call to its mate, the moment the tides shift from ebb to flow.
To the consternation of my doctor and relatives, as I grow older I hear and see so much better . . .

love,
If i was the world,
I would have given the sun
its rays light and
warmth or,
I would have grant you the moon to smile
by darkness
In a Scarry night would have
dressed the sky with stars
The future ,its fantasies could have merge
with dreams seas could have tide love
To the shores of affection
Happiness could have gull and love like a ship could have float in our friendship

Poetic License Suspended
A string of poetic tales, about my life, my love and, my Lord...
Observations in scales, of mortal plight, once we chance, accord...
Imagination pales, and yet just might, share a glance, of more...
Propping powerful sails, from my short life, happenstance, galore!

The Poem I Never Wrote
Is still on my lips
Buried treasure at the time
Now it's a barnacle on the ships side
And with each passing year
It keeps growing and growing
In infamy
In its infancy, some 50 years ago
The stage was set
We were twelve, once
Like two seagulls circling the sea
In harmony
But I didn't have the gull
To hold her hand
Or pass her a love note
No, no
Theres was no poet in me
Or a lion
Only a snail
It tears me to think about it
How our butterflies fluttered
And I didn't catch hers

for him, heart, love,
love is when you stay by the side of your lover wen he is in ail
love is when you don't allow him to stay pale
love is when you make him hale
love is when you care for him more than your manicured nail
love is when you don't let him stay dull
love is when you stay loyal and never gull
love is when you protect him from evil rays and keep him safe is you heart's protective case.
its when you don't hesitate to take a first pace..its when you help him to come first in life's difficult race.
love is something which can never be described..it is a disease for which no medicine can be prescribed.

Shiny shades guide me
Shooting star shine for me
Shine bright like falling snow
Soothe this pain of sorrow
Oh blue diamonds of Gods
Burn all the desire of gold
Let no man see holes to this fate
Least there be sin on this flesh
Boats are broken by the gull winds
Boasting Books full of all words
Words that shall reach you
And shall heal your open sores
Thou you shall be wounded one day
Only break the doubt with love
Hold our vows so high that birds don’t reach

he skimmed this gelid air
on a gossamer breath
ascending then descending
adrift like my wishes
perhaps he was lost
like i in my unspoken thoughts
just wanting to be anywhere
other than where he should be
i closed my eyes
imagining
soaring
on his wings
aloft on dreams
as i spiraled
into the arms
of your love
momentarily

lost love, nature, bird, bird,
Evening willow calls
Low across the brambling sand
A bird cries alone
Sunset bids farewell
To the moaning surf and bar
A gull flies through dark
The sky no sound makes
With thunder or wind or plane
Promise of us gone
Evening willow calls
To moaning surf at the bar
I to distant star
Let night comes silent
Then, and heart waves be so still
A bird flies alone

OCTOBER
The gull senses it
Just his usual cry, yet something portends
Something come alive
A relaxed, quiet intensity
Strange, like a trembling, single leaf, or
A dozen late, pink roses – one white rose
Laying out, watching the sky
The grass – damp chill against the bones
October’s sensation? Well, not love exactly.
Thrill describes it
Distant roar of the stadium crowd
Footballs in the air
Spiraling, - spiraling to nowhere
The roar – now it becomes you
You become it
The visible, the invisible action of it all

The new Boatswain's wife,
Remember when
they'd call you
the Girl of the Wandering Ship,
the pale fire of the night?
S.S Montblanc,
White Mountain,
I've climbed aboard...
And made love
to sparks,
explosions, powder,
Hundred people dead
in an hour,
victims of extramarital
affair.

emotions,
In the hour just before sunrise
No one about but an occasional gull
Harbor lights shimmer through the mist
And I am drawn by the song of the surf
Long ago I was as innocent as the wind
In love with the sand and the sea, a
Notebook always at hand, I wrote of
Ginger skies, sails and the essence of me
Tomorrows have come and gone, and
Heavy the burdens of living can seem, so
Eventually I always come back to the sea
Soft the light breaking over the vast blue
Easing me into life by the emerald green bay
Again breathing deep I reflect on another day

love,
I remember that cloudless day in June
The world seemed new and young - as young as we.
We shared the beach with salt and gull and dune,
And we knew love as only love can be.
We made a pledge that June down by the sea
To always love and laugh - to share and learn.
And then our world slowly began to turn
To take us where we didn't want to go.
That fire once so warm does no longer burn -
But that love does not seem so long ago.

seasons,
Go love your rainbow falling from trees
Your spectral forests stripped of leaves
Stark branches fingering the sun's eye
The little deciduous garden waiting to die, and dappled ground appalled
I will praise the days of fainting breeze
The hurricanes swallowed by the fog, my shack at ease
I will praise the days of sea's white gnashing
At the gull swirling above the perilous fish
And the children tumulting in larval greed of freedom
As they come home from school. For dappled days, praise!

lost love, love
I saw two foxes run through a hole
And my sorrow was weakened still.
I watched two lovers swim through a gull
And the air took my breathe into the sky
Like a frightened lullaby.

The sigh of the sea as it leaves the shore.
The cry of a gull, you at my door.
The pull of the moon, the turn of the tide,
The sound of the rain when we’re warm inside.
The howl of the wind, the way of all things
The trick of the light, the phone doesn’t ring.
The tick of the clock on my kitchen wall.
The thrill of the chase: the end of it all.

love,
Why does the gull take to flight?
When the winds are on high
Abandon shelter to face such fright
With the gesture of a sigh
Why does mystery defy notions?
The moon and stars just shine at night?
Lips to whisper deep emotions
Why an embrace can feel so right
How can the swallow find its way?
Where none has flown before
Cross limitless miles of oceans
By just the cunning of its lore
What gently bends the willow?
In its moment of silent prayer
What brings softness to a pillow?
To catch our dreams all there
What wakes us at the dawn?
When we hear the sea wind blow
Now before this love be gone
To the sea you must go!

10th grade, 11th grade, 12th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, 9th grade,
'A love' is annoyed.
'The love' is feasted
Metaphorical love is blind,
Bonafide love is gifted!
Thy metaphorical love ruined and tattered.
My Bonafide love gives me peace and tranquillity!
Thy lover always ordered,
My love gives me an equality!
Thy love has a lust.
My love is disciple of Almighty Allah!
And that's why thy love gives you a dust.
My love begins with Bis'millah!
Thy love has seven deadly sins.
O Almighty Allah absolves me of my sins!

adventure, analogy, blessing, humanity,
Sailing with my true blue friend,
Every wave was a new lesson to learn
Every storm, a new chapter to open;
Listening to its deep voice,
Every story was a reverie to follow
Every silence a whisper of love;
Guided by the wind of my destiny,
Every voyage was a new sail to make
Every departure calmed my soul;
Following the gull of my dreams,
Every sea was a new season in my life
Every horizon a place to seek the answer;
Searching for the painter of my soul,
Every fisherman was asked for guidance
The happy one gave me wisdom;
Escorted by the light of my heart,
Every island was a new treasure to uncover
Every discovery a color to my rainbow..

memory,
It was a day I spent within her arms
Totally smothered by her love and charms
The world seemed new and young - as young as we.
And we found love as only love can be.
We shared the beach with salt and gull and dune,
I remember that cloudless day in June
We made a pledge that day down by the wave
To always love and cherish what God gave
And then our world slowly began to turn
That fire once so hot does no longer burn
I still recall that space within her arms -
I smile softly, the memory still warms

dream, flying, love, philosophy, places, river, tree,
Sometimes my space is small and all it takes
is the whisper of a thought to knock me down.
Sometimes I own the sky, my gesture wide engulfs
the furtherest gull to fly, beyond where thoughts may lie.
This town may be our place of resting purpose.
Where would I begin to think I am, if not for love.
And I continue to suppose and I propose again to test
the bending wheat of leisure. For I am not an oak
but made of manly measure, and my grain
is but a river of my dreams.

We can go back again to the beginning of our love
We return across languid gulf of languishing waves
And walk barefooted on the morning sand
We can in the cold of wind hold each others hand
And tell stories light as the gull above green
And dappling sea, O let us go back, my friend
And flex and bend our iron scruples to dance
Like a supple rhyme, or mento music frolicking
Where each tide rise and break upon the bar.
I am ready to leave all this, just be my guiding star.

Rolling tide, music's lullabye,
Sensual lover's teasing whisper,
Tingle my flesh...
Caressing intense glances, knowing my
heart's desire...is you.
Lone sea gull, call my name
Unknown vision or reality
Host my present stormy mood
Call, call, call... to me
