life, nostalgia, sad, social
where the seagull dies
stringless origami cries
loneliness of soul
koi fish suffocate
colors fade in Bonsai trees
island in distress
words not understood
shadows grin tricks on rice walls
tsunamis in eyes
geisha of the world
love is lost in illusions
freedom is her dream
men with cold fingers
whither blossom of her spring
harakiri end
in the seagull's grave
origami secrets kept
chicks learn how to fly

deep, dream, emotions, fire, love, sky, stars,
Lost living among'st the shadows of dreams
An echo softly holds a gentle stillness
As a vision grows dimly lit holding flames
From troubles burning within chambers deep
I raise my eyes towards the mountain peaks
Winds softly echoing your voice inside the rain
One charmer who cast such cunning spells
Through a galaxy where time dances with the stars
Spirit of eternal peace and love falls uniquely pure
Into the arms of your goodness a picture develops
Drunken soul of a sailor sings to the night sky
Lament of a seagull cries eternally over waves

Lapping waves, boat gently rocks, lone seagull screams from overhead.
Sun setting on horizon evokes feelings of happiness

The sea is beautiful and I love it
and every single at the beach moment
Seagull chatters
Wind no matters
The body turning yummy brownie
My nature has stopped being whiny
I love it!
I love it! I love it!
And the best situation is my dear one
when there shines the shiny beautiful--
Diamond which to have is really such fun
On my right hand and not from a fool

Reflections across the water draws Gracious
on one pathway of light shimmering crystals speak
In a frozen state of mind held breathless
where listening to the ocean waves crawling kiss
Capturing the seas of imagination as the sun begins setting
crowned by the clouds as she dips down behind the horizon
Paradise becomes lost in the realm of a golden glowing circle
twilight begins to speak of the night's return breath of an ocean whispering
Over and back kissing the sands treading gently
a seagull cries into this distant echo

imagination,
She built a castle in the sand
Formed it in detail, it was grand
But when the waves rushed to the shore
Her castle crumbled, stood no more
So she built a castle on the rocks
That overlooked the seagull flocks
But the earthquake came, her castle fell
Carried out to sea in briny swells
Then she built a castle in the sky
Formed from clouds that went sailing by
But when the rain fell on the land
Her castle came tumbling to the sand
Her final castle she did revere
Built with all her heart and soul
She formed the columns from her tears
As each emotion played a role
And on each column she carved a dove
She built a castle made of love

a seagull flying
above the rolling waves
wind beneath its wings…
the thought of you

Final thoughts.
Oh mighty sun you rise once more,
Bringing forth a brand new day.
A shimmering causeway of golden ray’s,
To another world now seems not far away.
My bones grow weary for on the beach I sit,
Before an out stretched sea.
Caporal thoughts of the conscious mind,
Start to fade now on the breeze.
Lift me like the seagull soars,
For now ecstasy consumes the soul.
Just the calling waves now answer,
For here will I make my home?
All earthly bonds and shackle,
The rat race now has been run.
Now in the bosom of sweet nature,
For with you Im now at one.

I bought a burger yesterday
It was very dry like the seagull bay
I pilled a lot of ketchup on it
and still dry it remained
I was very dissappointed
as i look at the dry damned thing
I ran to the toilet
and let out a HUGE
BLEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH
As chunks of the dry burger fell out of my pie hole
Landing into the toilet
Making dookie plop noizes
I'm done

love,
Waves murmured;
teasing winds caressed her body,
a lone seagull twittered.
Fires erupted;
her tongue explored his mouth,
torpid passions seethed out.
Mountains quivered;
their passionate bodies lay intertwined,
drizzling rains inebriated them.
Tongues wagged;
a man clenched his fists,
acrid anguish inundated him.
Hate brewed;
vile thoughts blurred his mind,
an animal peeped out.
Love died;
thunderous shots punctuated the air,
a deathly silence followed.
Newspapers screamed;
gruesome pictures shocked the city,
he was her husband.

Fly little seagull, fly with your oily wings
Or have some tasty dead oily fish
It will slip down the throat with ease
We humans call it a Gulf oil spill dish
We humans all love to go to the beach
Lay there all oiled up and tan
Why cannot the birds and fish
The Gulf oil will help it really can
The governments allow us to chop the trees
Destroying the rain forests with axes
Why not a little oil spill
They’ll cover it by raising taxes
So don’t pay any attention to the Gulf
And the life destroyed by the oil spill
Just lay back relax and enjoy
We’ll mop it up later just chill

hope, lost love,
Don't wake me up with whispers devastating Soul
Eyelids? Two petals of withered, love-thirsty rose
I dance in white and black with fins in Paradise
Ephemeral Self defending Purity of nameless cloud...
Don't trace my steps contouring our Dark horizons
HE watched through branches when we played “Sunset”
I told a homeless seagull: “ You know? Don't need to suffer
I'm growing gills of Hope... submerged in Fantasy...

loneliness, love, memory,
Seagull song with no beginning
Clouds that end in silent blue
Empty valleys in stone canyons
Echo calls of days' adieu
Ripples on ancestral water
Stretch on beyond the coral hue
Leaving only twilight memories
Of the love, I found in you

The Gathering
It started with the sun
casting colors on the sand, sun
tanned brown
pointing cowry shells – golden baked
An old seagull by the sea watches me collect
a gathering of shells to string around your neck
There are feathers scattered
and I weave them between my collection
of earth and sea - softness and smiles
From God - to sea and sand - to bird - me
Our gathering - an Offering
As our little old bird watches by seaweed freshly brought
sharing in this joyful weaving - for you.
Gathering too.

Oh... I'm Evelyn the seagull
eating rubbish, squawking down the sea.
Oh... I'm invisible and a detested bird flying around.
Not admired by anyone, but privileged I feel flying next to the ocean I love.
Oh....unforgettable mornings with my "mews",
my lovely or hated music to be listened to.
Up and down, just flying above sometimes,
but miserable when you push me down.
Oh... I'm a hated bird all the time.
I'm just feel loved when you meet me next to the coast.
Oh.... then I know what it means to be loved.
The only time you say: "I'm happy to see the seagulls because we are home". Then, I feel that I was born
for a reason.

happinesslove,
A crow and a seagull lift up the sun
With "Caw!" and a bright white wing.
Swift cars wheel 'round the shopping ground;
I hear their motors sing.
New steaming clouds from canneries rise,
Their growing billows pillowing skies.
What a great delight to see and hear
The work of nature and man so clear.
Who would disown it? Who'd say nay?
To the joy of being on this beautiful day?
Not I; I love it; love it strong.
This is the Eden where I belong.

heaven, love, nature, paradise, religious, seasons, spiritual,
As seasons circle
‘Round the moon
In a solstice born of life
Summer drifts into her June
Like poetic paradise
The memories played by ear
Strummed by fingers
Turning red
It is of love
That whispers clear
No better words
The heart has bled
Beyond the distant wild
Drifting seagull in the breeze
Across the morning waves
Into the blue
Born of nature’s child
Nesting in the trees
A peace that comes to save
The heart that’s beating true
There is no beauty
That does you justice
And no desire
To pay the price
Only Heaven far above us
Where spawns
Poetic paradise

loneliness, love, marriage, night, ocean,
Walking with bare feet on the cold floor
Hearing your breathing and rough waves
A seagull is flying over the dark sea
If I had wings like this seagull
I would fly out from this window
To find you, my sleeping beauty
You are always close to me, but hiding
Imagining touching your warm hands
Imagining hearing your soft voice
But, please sleep well my beauty
Enduring loneliness is my pleasure

love,
Your deep oceanic eyes
beckon me to plunge into
rippling waves of your true-blue love.
Like a seagull, my heart flutters
with thirsty desires to be quenched
and to feed on the treats hidden beneath.

Green leaves a handful of
Hues of sundown on sky
Aura of gray face in love
Zeroes seeking radii
At your windows seagull
Lilac champagne a lull

dream, for her, funny, i love you, love, romance, romantic,
Salt marsh on the Cape
Come with me and we'll escape
The routine and the drudgery
And live a dream out by the sea
We'll walk the shoreline, collecting shells
And bathe our feet in ocean swells
We'll face the west, across the sands
And watch the sunset holding hands

analogy, appreciation, for her,
See the snapping of love,
I think he's angry at the metal glove.
He finds it hard to see the queen,
Overshadowed by the ornamental screen.
Who is that stinging near the pen?
I think she'd like to eat the Plzen.
She is but a little woman,
Admired as she sits upon a noblewoman.
Steady arms wide just like an eagle,
Love needs no flight, it flows like the seagull.
She's not alone she brings a bird,
a pet bee, and lots of cowherds.
The bee likes to chase a girlfriend,
Especially one that's in the carrick bend.
The love shudders at the scary flower
He wants to leave but she wants the meteor shower.

analogy, angst, bereavement, bird,
in the dimness
a slanted idea
straddling the streams
desolate as a seagull
breeze yanked spins
enduring virgin prayers
love is the pearl of my ordeal
no pity from the silent purplish blue
echoes meandering
consuming meager extension
secret whiff shifts
fastened by an impulse and a fantasy
