  FELLOW LOVERS

  *
  

  We are
  fellow lovers
  of the sea.
  Because of
  her
  infinity
  to all she gives
  fidelity.

  ANCHORS AWEIGH

  *
  

  The breaking of the day
  Light oer the sea
  makes its way.
  Wind counterpoints
  the 'anchors aweigh!'
  as it fills our sails
  and
  from across the bay
  takes us blissfully away.

  SANDSTITCHING

  *
  

  The sea sandsifting
  Birds sandshifting
  The wind sanddrifting

  but the grass....
  sandstitching

  SAILSTARRED SANDSIFTING SEAWEED-SCRIPTED SEA

  *
  

  Sail-starred, shell-shored, stream-swelled
  sand-sifting, seaweed-scripted sibilant Sea
  secedes silently, softly

  Shadowed shallows sheathing scallops,
  sheltering seals, shielding scuttling snails,
  shrouding sharks. Sands shifting secrete starfish,
  scampering shrimp.

  Serene Sea supports Spanish scows, Sicilian
  skiffs, Senegalese schooners, Seychelles ships,
  Sardinian sculls.

  Saltsmelling sailors see soaring shrieking
  seagulls, striped sunrise, shining sunset,
  shshshing surf.

  Sudden surprising storm's symphonic sounds
  slap shore shacks. Snows slip seaward, spring-subdued.
  Soon sloop slides spiral sleep stairway.

  
  

I am gravely sorry
That you hold pain within you.

We share love,

Whether you choose to accept it
In your reality or not.

I am empathetic towards your pain.

I am not a psychiatrist.
I am not a psychologist.
I do not know how to control your delusions,
Only you know how to do that.

I do know this.

When you can clearly see,
That keeping your mouth shut,
Instead of opening it,
Is hurting far more people
Than it is helping...

...it's time to open your damn mouth.
