Ocean Poems | Examples of Ocean Poetry

Nestled is the slender twisting trail canyon between timeless steep aspiring mountains and meditative sopheric waters of the sea The frail road deepens into lofty thickness further from the harsh volcanic valley where passion’s throes are ever in abeyance as the days grind on at a petty pace as winding cathartic minds strive to be free and...

Hitchhiking by blurred station generic Gypsy Flora slips anonymous, gravel Grinds her heart of garbage, barbaric Buried skeleton stirred, further travel Ticket to Keep It Secret Scarred in fish guts grubby, harbour Heaves its putrid out to sea, amnesia Avails an arbour over bleak macabre Mutineer hurled ragdoll dumb, seizure Saline dreams Dali delirium Draped clock face, Flora's flailing coma Collides...

Poetry unravels and unwraps my soul in a way My senses are wildly awake to absorb the sights and mellifluous sounds of the world reigning my spirit, My heart opens to the sublime vermillion sky, To the melody of sapphire waves lapping on the shore, To the magical harmony of acoustic bird-songs! My senses are entranced with the chimes of...

A blazing sun reflects a hue across the horizon and into the blue As valiant waves that dance with mirth descend upon unbridled surf Sequestered dunes of earthen clay give refuge to the birds of prey As melodic winds chant natures prayer and rise throughout the balmy air The rampant waters ebb and flow above the primal Eden that lies below The mystic piper calls...

Sailing into the horizon Admiring the Sunset Distance far from the shores Refreshing breezes Bridges and Lighthouses along the way Whales and Dolphins doing their dazzling maneuvers Sharks looking to attack The oceanic feeling like a gateway of opportunity God’s watery creation Heaven’s sensation Rainbows of hope The drift having a sail Wonders beyond and deep Oceans never cease Tomorrows that continue Every today a take in Viewing and observing Peaceful and...

photographs and memories as i search photographs and memories of gulls flying over ocean waves i can hear the crashing waters raging as if it was only yesterday these same waves are no longer there yet others have taken their place slapping rocks then returning to the air it has always been the case i’m sorry to say many birds are gone and flown to...

The sea remembers all it cannot keep, Each wave a story, crashing into shore, Its secrets held in silence, buried deep. A sailor's prayer, a widow’s dreamless sleep, The driftwood echo of a lover’s lore— The sea remembers all it cannot keep. It sings of storms and treasures lost in sweep, Of shipwrecked years and voices heard no more, Its secrets held in...

Take me where the ocean rolls bigger than the pain in my soul. Let me lay upon shore sand, hold its grit in my hand while the ocean claims ground again, so sure of where it belongs to begin its own fated end. Let ships on the horizon remind me how small I...

At midnight, a silent ocean of ebony rises, a black lung stretching over my fragile ribs, and the bed becomes a cold altar where the body rehearses its disappearance, a sanctuary of shadows dancing on the edges of unknown dreams. The footsteps vanish, leaving room only for insects quietly gnawing the lampshade, small mouths reminding me how delicately the light...

A day without poetry is like a sky without stars, an ocean without waves, A symphony without sounds floating in the twilight of silence, A moment where time stops and shadows dance without rhythm, You lose the chance to dive into the depths of emotions that flow like rivers, Where each verse is a thread of light guiding you...

2025.3.15 Today, I visited Sorrento back Beach. Swam only for five minutes. Both the swell and the current Were too high and too strong for me. Fortunately, the Lifeguard Mason, Assisted me to get down to the ocean, Where the waves were less violent. I held onto his yellow rescue board, Under my armbit, as he instructed. When the perfect moment arrived, Mason asked me...

When my heart's bell tolls, it signals for Father time with my soul. I excite while driving to align with sights God made divine. Under a tropic sun glow, I walk to where faithful waves roll. Sitting in morn-soft sand, I give God thanks for His beach design. As waves tease, then leave, I pray God stays my ocean...
