She is yours within me.
Of these miles...

The Oceans Pearls
Written by Tiffanie Kaiyen

Moonlight touches in a silver gleam,
Wrapped in whispers of a sailor’s dream....

Down the Whale-Road's StreamTides
Billow
The boats quake
Her sailors scream
Davy Jones' Locker
Opened its grisly maws
Who can hope for salvation?
When the devils of the whale-road
Cast down wretched tendrils of demise,
Damning poor souls to their watery grave
'Lord!'
They cry,
'Have mercy!'
'Deliver us'
'From this thunderstorm!'
And...

A wide and vast horizon beckons me to enter there
where oceans echo ancestral voices and gulls paint images in the air.

A Meander By Sea
Nothing is like water, when water's alone —
Memories go out to sea, swam there unglued;
The seashells on beach cease not spend away home.
When the sky's kiss on water beneath us skews,
The scarring inside leaves us,...

Sitting on the dock of the bayI was sitting on the dock of the bay listening to a song
when Otis Redding happened to come walking along.
He said, "You watching the ships roll in?"

Windswept DreamsOn the edge where sea meets sky,
A canvas stretched, the kites soar high.
With every gust, my spirit flies,
Chasing waves beneath the blue skies.
Harnessed freedom, the ocean's embrace,
Dancing...

WavingWaving
Up, down, but always somewhere
Live in the waving ocean, like a molecule
It is an unknown life, so it is good to live like this
Just waving in the life, forget the will and mind
The endless water...

Endless WavesI've seen the endless waves
approach a sun-dried shore,
unfolding what remains
of legends and of lore.
Like soldiers off to war,
they follow on command,
relentless in their quest,
yet slowing in the sand.
The oceans draw them back
undaunted and unseen,
preparing their...

thank you O seaThank you O sea,
For the untiring music of your waves,
For the rolling of your rollers,
Thank you O sea
for your music so refined,
This music softens the soul,
His sight soothes the poet
Console the painter ,
Thank you O...
