But you were there
To sweep me
Off my feet.
The day you got caught
In the...

Yet now I get to see

Dreams Adrift OceanI entered the world of sleep,
Where creations danced on waves.
Cliffs loomed vast and deep,
Their mystery stirred the brave.
The rhythmic ocean’s motion,
And the world’s life-laden view,
Revealed secrets of the ocean,
Surprisingly witnessed by few.

At a very young age
He knew what he wanted to be
Like his father before him
A ‘Keeper of the Sea’

They loved unconditionally
Dreams and hopes for the future
Of raising a family
They lived...

Inclination Combed Your Eyes
where you must float around me

On merciless rocks it was pinned.
These days just a pile of rotting timber
Lead treasure...

the jellyfish wobbled at the party
the starfish in their constellations went
