sea and the nymph of the rhyming times

keep your ears close to my lips.
you will hear
boom. 
i will tell you
a tongue twister;
ripples of me inside you.   


you will recite the chant
“she sells seashells in the seashore.”

in my fingertips
the sea will dance.

Haik-ing

Hope

Insane world...
A gentle ripple
Wets my toe


Stranger

New landscape
Unknown portraits
Unheard scents.


Reflection

Winter nights
Your eyes
My mirror


Longing

A little sea
A tear drop 
And a smile

pages

a short perspective on in-growth

i exist
inside the veins  
i crawl
under the skin
i grow
quick and wide
and leave dark marks
ugly and painful marks of joy
which will refuse to fade away
even with incisions to pull me out
i leave marks on the body,
branding you for life as mine.
i am your birthmark still.  

beached


every drop of salt
stuck inside the head
nauseates…
every grain of sand
touching my flesh
aches.

Breathing

1.2)

where blooms
red roses
as red as
red
I
wish
for a kiss.

where blooms 
hydrangeas
as violet as 
a 
kiss
I 
wish 
for you.
