Ocean by Erato
I was sixteen
California. Summer. Brown skin.
Turquoise bathing suit.
Sand. Sun. Wind. Salt. Ice cream.
Waiting for Godot my reading.
Marlboro light white filters smoking.
Blowing in the wind listening-
the Joan Baez version.
Slowly entering
Stopped breathing
Easy to lose feet
Balance at risk
The sense of danger
The excitement of releasing
Moving holy force
Constant sound of waves. At daze.
One day and the eternity
I, a mortal facing the infinity.

Ocean by Sean
I come to see
I am at Sea
I am drifting in the Ocean
I do not struggle
I cannot see land
Only eternity
I trust the Ocean to carry me
to where I shall be
To be or not to be
The Ocean shall carry me
to where I shall see and be
And look back at the glorious sea
I am at Sea
I am drifting in the Ocean
I do not struggle
I cannot see land
Only eternity
I trust the Ocean to carry me
to where I shall be
To be or not to be
The Ocean shall carry me
to where I shall see and be
And look back at the glorious sea
Ocean by Martin Kennedy
Always poets gather by the sphere
always near oceans clear
waves gathering underfoot
now climbing caves inside blue breath
death of that distant star
oceans a mass say a prayer
drink gods clean air
fish beneath in complete
appearing now every year
are we joining that rich dream
that comes from mountain stream
this is a machine oceans the team
wave after wave tear oh tear
air so clear a blue sphere appear
near oceans edge daily balance
awash with new life
year after year it is so dear
and yet we fear the deep crest of oceans depths
heart unrest at yesterday flesh
fire in waves eye die oh die
but fly beyond minds eye
life in the deep always tries
blue horizon reflecting up
seeing is believing
earths listening wit its big ear
(this poem was submitted as more of a stream of thought.Some line breaks we added so as to fit on the blog page.)

Ocean by Maddy
Silent, Dreamy and blue
His Wave meets Her soft sand
White, Salty bubbles truly grant
Stormy, Angry and gray
Were Water meets Water
mountains of waves crashes
creating thunder and lightning
extremely frightening
A home for millions of creatures
Some unknown, some known
A keeper of thousands of Secrets
Can we ever imagine her depth?
Comprehend his beauty?
There evolution deeply hidden
Thou Art God's collection

Stormy, Angry and gray
Were Water meets Water
mountains of waves crashes
creating thunder and lightning

Turquoise,
colour of the sky
after storms,
cobalt,
hue of my mama’s eyes
when she smiles.
II
Restless.
The word “still”
has no meaning for you
Miss Ocean,
Mrs Sea,
mother of moisture,
progenitor of precipitation.
Lifegiver. Lifetaker.
III
I love it
when you
smash
against rocks
and spray foam
like an exhausted horse
or
a broken boxer.
IV
I swam in you once
naked
as the day I began.
You were cold but warm,
and as dark and
unknowable
as the night sky
you reflected.

Ocean by James Hadley
His eyes are just a drop in the ocean of
All the eyes that lovers have fallen into.
Some have pulled themselves back out.
Some have drowned.
Some have dragged themselves onto a raft -
A tenacious splinter that resists blinks.
Some have floated, submerged.
Some have dived in hastily,
To be repelled by an eyelid:
The ocean oasis concealed by arid plains.
Landlocked,
I remember the depths of irises,
The glisten of eager pupils...
They say you don't forget how to swim.
All the eyes that lovers have fallen into.
Some have pulled themselves back out.
Some have drowned.
Some have dragged themselves onto a raft -
A tenacious splinter that resists blinks.
Some have floated, submerged.
Some have dived in hastily,
To be repelled by an eyelid:
The ocean oasis concealed by arid plains.
Landlocked,
I remember the depths of irises,
The glisten of eager pupils...
They say you don't forget how to swim.
Ocean by Gem
Ocean
Floating on an ocean of dreams
one hand dipped in the waves
one foot caressing the water
Drifting though memories
eyes closed
mouth slightly open
Thoughts swirling in my mind
If only
Wishes
The waves lapping at my mind
washing me clean
new beginnings
I step from the waves
fresh, clean
a re birth
Leaving the water muddy with memories
my pail skin shimmering in the moon light
peace at last
Floating on an ocean of dreams
one hand dipped in the waves
one foot caressing the water
Drifting though memories
eyes closed
mouth slightly open
Thoughts swirling in my mind
If only
Wishes
The waves lapping at my mind
washing me clean
new beginnings
I step from the waves
fresh, clean
a re birth
Leaving the water muddy with memories
my pail skin shimmering in the moon light
peace at last
Memories by Erato
Memories of another time
Blurred sensations leading to strong emotions
Memories of the past
Of a future becoming
Of time passing
Of my present foreshadowing
Sometimes they pop up and surprise me
Just forgot had these memories.
Bits of a movie
Called life history
Easy to rewind
Difficult to erase
I carry them
Along my path
Sometimes heavy and noisy
And at other times
Randomly playing
Lightly and colourfully
Like butterflies
Blurred sensations leading to strong emotions
Memories of the past
Of a future becoming
Of time passing
Of my present foreshadowing
Sometimes they pop up and surprise me
Just forgot had these memories.
Bits of a movie
Called life history
Easy to rewind
Difficult to erase
I carry them
Along my path
Sometimes heavy and noisy
And at other times
Randomly playing
Lightly and colourfully
Like butterflies
