Damn I sit here rage inside my chest, Key, skeleton like, Shapely tool to open my chest wide, Wooden ribs sticking outward, As hand reaches in, Beating heart throbs as the jewel is removed, Treasure thief delving deep within. Riding waves on Jolly Rodger, Chest stored deep within the hold, Skeletons in the closet, Hiding…

Sea Maiden Sings
White foamy waves splash my face, Hat wiped away by Sea Mistress’s whip, Dolphins swim and splash by my side, Into the battle I go with the Tide, Deep down where Sailors sleep, Where songs are sung eternal, Wavey Sea Maiden, sings her eternal slumbering lullabies, To me a fortunate fellow, To sleep below her…
A Sailor’s Fate
(Work in progress) Dark rises, in the sky stars shine, In the eyes, lights blaze, Raising caskets from oceans, mermaids sing loud songs, Calling forth lost sailors, lost at sea, Long eons under ocean deep, barnacles grow and conceal, Ships crash against the water, mermaids swim and dive deeper, Rolling waves move the world, pushed…

Hair flung back, Greased hair stains, Line my dress whites, As I jolly laugh at the sight, Of long bound shore, Lightly burdened, Sailor sack slung, Over shoulder, I waltz From that long bound shore, Raging sea behind me, Laughing squalls only memory, My heart beyond the hills afar, My stakes in life here, On…

The Whale
In Northeastern woods I walk, The trails lay miles behind me, Each step a journey towards my manhood, Each step a victory toward my warrior status, Each journey a vision matching my sailor heritage, Sailors blood pumping through my veins, On seas of courage, Swimming with Krakens, Yelling in the face of the vicious misstress,…
Sharks and Fish
Sorrow leans on the bottom of the ocean, Tears weeping against foreign shores, Destructive waves hitting wall after wall, Ships flowing on her seductive glossy surface, Made up with myth and treasure, Loaded down in the holds, Are her majestic treasures, Sunk to the bottom of the ocean Sorrow leans on the bottom of the…
VETERAN
Boots on my feet, Living a hundreds of fleeting dreams, Memories float like stars all about, Catching glimpse of an old me, Young, fit, and motivated, Standing out, shining bright, Medals that mean nothing, Awards for jobs well done, Paper trails everywhere, Automatically judged and alienated, A lot of us get caught by drink or…
