She Never Takes Me Out There

She never takes me out there
without flowers on the bow;
mast leaning to her star;
sweet singing in the sails;
blessings lying with the keel;
her scent wafting o'er the deck;
florescence in her wake;
eddies in the wash;
celestial signs afoot;
her wishes understood
or my rudder in her prayers.
.
Florescence in the wake.
Celestial sign afoot.
Flowers on the bow.

The sea is the sea

The sea is the sea; and me, I go to see it just for the reverie,

when waves of moment cascade and Eternity's tide becons.

My stay is ever short, yet I never depart without discovering anew that

the sea is the sea, and me she does not acknowledge.
Locket Destinies

The locket was lost.
No, it was cast aside;
now peers from the tall grass
with gaping mouth and screaming eyes,
fearing abandonment after
lifelong intimate surrender;
is resigned to the inevitable death
of warm skin's embrace
in late days of cool seasons,
for lockets know but empty destinies.
