It never was
And it never will be
Like a bus
Never belonged at sea
But you would
Drive that bus straight down
As if you could
Tell yourself not to drown
So straight to hell
Where you will pay for your sin
Of wishing well
At what you could never win
And I'll bet
You wish it were hotter than hot
To dry all that's wet
Just to give it another shot.

"It really isn't much,
But please do be gentle.
I don't take it out often,
It's mostly ornamental."

My coffee is black
No sugar, no milk, bitter
It keeps my heart safe
2024.10
The stars high above
Fade into inky darkness
Replaced with water
'Til all is black and muffled
Sweet siren song fades away
2024.9
Oh to slip below
To let the sea fill my ears
To drown out the song
To deny the harpies' meal
To squirm against my heartbeat
2024.8
Sink your feet in it
Let it sift between your toes
What sand was made for
A coarse, fine contradiction
You are not soon forgotten
2024.7
Does it hail at sea
Over your icy domain
Bereft of love's warmth
I don't wish it upon you
But I wonder all the same
2024.6
Little wet kisses
Carried on a salty sigh
I'm lost on the beach
Where the foam's between my toes
And there's a hole in my heart
2024.4
Warm sand 'tween my toes
A naked sun to gaze at
My little island
There is peace in the breeze here
Better alone than lonely
2024.3
Many years later
The salty air on my tongue
Brings back memories
The waves and the setting sun
Your lips and their melody
