Ocean Poetry

I have several books of poetry:

       Ocean Poetry

The above is a collection of sea poems, some heavy, and some light in theme - many, spiritual, and many, basic, sensual, and descriptive.

From Ocean's Grief Poems
(And Visit Ocean's Grief Site For Those Who Have Suffered Losses - And If Your Loved One Was Your Pet, Visit OurSunny.com)


And here is a new poem, in a different tone:

IT SNOWED TODAY

  - OCEAN

IT SNOWED TODAY

MORNING-TIME

FROSTED WHITE FUZZY GLAZE

OVER FACE OF SUN

SHINING IN STREAMS

LIKE NEW TESTAMENT PAINTINGS

OF GOD’S LIGHT, ILLUMINATING

HARD BORDERS ON CUMULUS FRAMES

IT TOOK MY HURT TO ANOTHER PLANE

AND I REMAIN

HERE AMONG QUIET GHOSTS.

I WISH THAT THEY’D DISTURB ME.

MY DOGS, SLEEPING NEARBY 

SNORE -

THEY KEEP ME- SAVE ME

FROM THE HARSH THINGS,

THE TRUTHS THAT I AVOID

THAT I AM IN

DESPITE MY CHAGRIN

THAT I AM LOST - HERE

WITHOUT 

YET I MADE THE DECISION

TO STAY 

TO MISS THE  WARMTH

TO FEEL THE GLOOM

TO HAVE THE ROOM

TO MOURN

I have been in mourning for a few years now, for someone very close to me.

I am not always sunshiny, and sometimes my poetry is the best way to vent feelings of loss.

I had gone to a place, in a Northern clime, where once I had lived, and was reminded what Winter really is.

I feel for all you who are experiencing the extreme cold - whether of the weather alone or from the loss of a loved one.

Here's another sad poem:

GONE- POEM BY OCEAN

ALL CHANGED

FOREVER, NOW

MEASURED NOT

BY LENGTH 

AND TIME

BUT BY WHEN YOU

WERE HERE

AND WHEN YOU

WERE NOT.

GONE, NOW,

BUT NOT

FORGOT
