A cool ocean breeze with the waves at its knees Brings a chill til the sun heats the sand And then I shall dive to see fish so alive Too pretty to die at my hand These coconut palms and this old book of psalms Offer nourishment and useful kindling I was not taught to read but I have to concede Books...

Castaway
She talked about her family in glimpses, like she was always walking a tightrope. Between normal and just chucking it all, for the next bus that might give her some hope. She tried to paint a picture of her town, pristine houses along a tree-lined strand. Faces peeking around window curtains, fathers in doorways with belts in their hand. When she ran...

Castaway
Life has cast me upon a distant shore the would not I have never chose bits of wood silvered white dance and spin in morning light light reflects like jewels bright in soft glow of mornings light ebbs and flows the water goes gaining up and retreating back hard and firm the wet sand lies pocked with imprints the dry sand be lonely cries so...

Castaway
Thinking about you and the world outside,out of wilderness of despair, setting sail like a castaway, praying to find a better day. Being rescued by her sweet love letting all worries slide right by knowing her love will be my guide. I've journeyed into another time and place,by the love and light of amazing grace....

Scowl the strongest defense, how I wished upon a fantasy; Allow someone to dig deeper, now will someone see me? Cliche’ to blame the movies; Array of visions in my mind convey such an image of true love; Castaway courts a concept undefined....

Alone At some random airport In a remote desolate place Somewhere on some map Stranded all night long With nothing to see Time stopped still Idle on my hands Hours stretched Nothing to do Sit and wait And face My own Anxiety AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on February 2, 2020...

Premium Member Castaway Memories On Distant Shores
Over the horizon, on distant shores lies my message in a bottle cast askew on the beach with other remnant memories and hopes in tatters scattered strewn among the drift wood debris dead soldier memories lying face down castaway sailor survivor sobs long gone, in the debris fields of dead memories, silent On distant shores turtles hatch alligators bask in the sun seagulls argue and caw fishermen love...

Castaway
Castaway :- Long day…longer it gets… with no hand at a distance, grey skies, with glimpses of clouds that traverse together, like a bound existence. far off, in the sultry fields a raw sight, of a damsel, a women…or a helpless maiden hardly could anyone tell. dry eyes, with a wry smile, and a piece of black drape, it was all, that she wore.. to hide her...

Castaway Love
Castaway love Slipped on the slope of mistaken disorder Whispered my love in the palm of her hand Watched as she waved from a ship near the border Standing alone in a cavern of sand Covered myself with a dune formed of sorrow Dropped every anchor I held in the past Counted the tides that would be my tomorrow Took one...

================================== At last I have been cast away... You've set your sight on newer shore. My sail's right at half mast today and there might stay forever more Though in the past you shone for me, at last I have been cast away... Lost in the dark, alone at sea, tossed like a stone into the bay You promised you would not betray but...

Castaway
As I stand upon the shore Waving goodbye without belief A mixture of emotions Churns away into the sea I'm happy that your pain is gone The pressure has been relieved But you have no idea, what it's doing to me Lift a sullen anchor Climb out of the foamy sea Navigate to a life Better than there is for me Castaway on the ocean Sail into...
