Ocean by Anissa Ladjemi

Sun sets across an ocean sky
As the boat sails away
Into the distance
Leaving the past behind

Lost, dazed and confused
Learning to live without you
Takes courage to break free
From the shackles you bore me
Stifling my creativity
Now I am free
To roam where I please

Without harsh words
Your condescending tone
Eyes full of passion
Turned to stone

No idea what you did
You broke me you see
Stole my self esteem
Gave you pleasure
To cause me pain
Now I am sane

All are made to suffer
All are made to weep
Bruises cut me deep
I see clearly

Alone, no longer in fear
I owe you nothing
Goodbye beautiful boy
Leave me be
To roam where I please
Now I am free

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

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

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

Ocean by Aaron Flynn

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.

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

Ocean by Paula Greene

Ocean

So beautiful my ocean
so compelling
but so dark and full of secrets
of lives and dreams

So much history
my ocean
so many lives lost
taken to your murky bed

But you are beautiful my ocean
but so cruel too
you take so easily
without recourse
and everytime without caring

So as I sit and watch your waves
I think of all those lost souls
and I wonder
how can something so so beautiful
be so cruel
and only you know the answer to that
my beautiful beautiful ocean...

Titanic (Ocean) by Joseph Mcgowan

TITANIC
Sank 15-04-1912

She lies at the bottom of the ocean
Been there for nearly a hundred years
They said she was unsinkable
Yet they still seen a sea of tears
That came from all the relatives
Who had lost their kin?
When the ship hit the iceberg
She sprung open like a pin
Many lost their lives that night
In a sea so cold
And many owe their lives that night
To those who were brave and bold
Some say you can hear their cries
If you listen carefully
Of those that went down with the ship
That lies at the bottom of the sea

I would rather be a Dolphin than a Shark,
I would rather be your friend than your enemy

Favourite Jeans (Ocean) by Simon Sylvester

favourite jeans
by
simon sylvester

your eyes are like denim
she said
worn and scuffed and well-loved
hers are the depths
of the atlantic
bursts of lights
vertigo darks
endless nights
for abandoned men
who wear favourite jeans
and make green tea
in favourite mugs
while she chops onions
the saucepan steams over
the lid measures in clunks
my boiling heart
