  • I Never Dreamed

    25. november 2021, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F

    I Never Dreamed

    I never dreamed
    Someone from my past
    Feelings redeemed
    So much time has passed

    I kept up with her
    We would always be friends
    She would concurr
    Our friendship transcends

    We have reconnected
    Both being single
    We have redirected
    For us to mingle

    She watched me sail
    Commenting along the way
    I called her instead of email
    Just not any comminique

    We talked for hours
    Just about everything
    She must have superpowers
    She was so addicting

    We communicated frequently
    Four or five times a day
    I enjoyed her evidently
    Because she was so gay

    She was brilliant
    She was happy
    She was exciting
    She was captivating

    I wanted more
    I wanted that energy
    I wanted to explore
    I wanted synergy

    I asked her out
    And she agreed
    What a rout
    I decreed

    Too smooth
    Too slick
    Too easy
    Too sleek

    We were so agreeable
    I was flabbergasted
    Our future is unforeseeable
    And it was not forecasted

    Now a new journey
    Where will we go
    A magnificent tourney
    Only God will know

  • Who Is She

    26. november 2021, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

    Who Is She

    Happy
    Gay
    Enthusiastic 
    Optimistic 

    She is a lightening beam
    Her own  liturgy 
    I can only dream
    So full.of energy

    Why is she alone
    No one has claimed her
    She is not owned
    By a mister or sir

    Probably her choice
    She is strong 
    With her own voice
    She knows right from wrong

    She wants a companion
    Just like me
    Who will not abandon 
    An attentive attendee

    To life
    To grief
    To celebration
    To sorrow

    She wants comfort
    So do I
    She want to be unhurt
    And not cry

    She wants gaiety 
    She wants merriment
    She wants playfulness
    She wants levity

    We all want this
    We do much research
    Along with a kiss
    And we search and search

    Giving up hope
    This person will never be found
    And I am no dope
    To catch someone on the rebound

    Please God give me a chance
    To find love and contentment
    Along with romance
    And adornment

  • Shift

    27. november 2021, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    Shift

    Left to right
    Forward and back
    Dark to bright
    Run to tack

    There are many ways to go
    And I must change
    Do not go with the flow
    I must turn the page

    Leave Jackson
    Do not be shocked
    Viking or saxon
    Not land locked

    A new journey
    Sailing away
    Leaving absurdity
    A new sunset everyday

    My intent
    My want
    My plan
    My desire

    At sixty not too late
    To transition
    A new journey and fate
    A grand ambition

    But wait
    Who is this girl
    That I went on a date
    Her hair has so much curl

    I am smitten
    By her beauty and enthusiasm
    Maybe sailing is not written
    She has to be an addendum

    My plan b has crumpled
    Moving to plan c
    My arrogance humbled
    I now can see

    I want her in my life
    And she makes me laugh
    With no crazy strife
    I want to be her better half

    In this moment
    In this time
    In this minute
    In this space

    I will pursue her
    Wanting to know if she is real
    Not some imaginary blur
    And my feelings are real

    Sailing will be there
    But I can not let this pass
    I am chasing that wild hair
    And this charming lass

    There is so much opportunity
    There is so much promise
    There is so much compassion
    There is so much expectation

    Go all in
    Do not miss the chance
    I can only laugh and grin
    A sailboat can not kiss or dance

  • Alive

    27. november 2021, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

    Alive

    You are alive
    Animated
    A beehive
    Exhilarated

    Look at your face
    You smile shines
    Not a trace
    Of worldly confines

    Exciting
    Titillating
    Breathtaking
    Electrifying

    You captivate a room
    So bubbly and fresh
    A flower in bloom
    Beaming outside your flesh

    Everyone notices
    They are drawn to your energy
    Simply dazzling and amazes
    Special mysterious alchemy

    Your charm
    Your power
    Your presence
    Your attractiveness

    Everyone wants you
    To steal your vigor
    Because they are blue
    Playing a fool and poor actor

    You are spontaneous
    So alive in your spirit
    Your harmonious
    With this grand merit

    I want it too
    Since I was fifteen
    Constantly trying to renew
    Feelings for a girl at fourteen

    I have my chance
    To suck her marrow
    Maybe by happenstance
    But I have climbed the plateau

    And I am not coming down
    To be a mere mortal
    I am on here playground
    And I too will be adorable

  • Puzzle

    27. november 2021, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F

    Puzzle

    I went on this cruise
    To learn more about sailing
    I needed more clues
    To understand my potential failing

    Like a jigsaw puzzle
    So many pieces
    I wanted to guzzle
    And make it to the Bahammas

    Work with these colors first
    Or the edges
    I jumped in headfirst
    Little bits and batches

    Over a few days
    It all came together
    I was out of my daze
    And an adventurer

    I knew much more
    About sailing a ship
    I am ready to explore
    With a very tight grip

    Navigation check
    Preventive maintenance check
    Maneuvering the boat check
    Seamanship check

    Years of running businesses
    Problem solving
    Lots of ground it encompasses
    Always resolving

    Issue upon issue
    Mechanical fire
    No reason to argue
    Just had to rewire

    Run aground
    Turn the wheel hard
    Back and forth and around
    Just admit your a retard

    No gas gauge
    So calculate your average miles
    Do not become enraged
    Forget the dials

    On and on
    Always a problem
    I am not a moron
    It is just sailing custom

    I am aware of my ability
    And my capabilities
    My handiness and utilities
    And all the possibilities

    Gulf Coast
    Carribbean
    Croatia
    Greece

    So many places to sail
    I can see the picture on the box
    My adventures can not fail
    I have unlocked the padlocks

    So off I go
    This is the my new way
    I must take a bow
    As I sail away

  • Jacque

    28. november 2021, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    Jacque

    He is a character
    From some foreign novel
    In his mind a victor
    No way an admiral

    Old age catches us all
    I am not as strong
    All will befall
    In our life song

    He has cooky stories
    Lots of experiences
    Accidental allegories
    With added annoyances

    He means well
    Sharing his knowledge
    His paintings plain pastel
    Not much to encourage

    I know a couple like this
    And like many old people
    They love to reminisce
    And it is admissible

    We will all be there
    Sooner or later
    You will be in this theater
    A museum curator

    So buck up and honor
    Give everyone respect
    So take notice and beware
    They are a grand actor

    In there own musical
    Clap and enjoy
    Laugh if it is comical
    Receive and spread the joy

  • Ryan

    Ryan

    What a great kid
    Well he is thirtyone
    He was similar to a squid
    He did so much when called on

    He was a chef
    An excellent cook
    To praise he was deaf
    He did not need a cookbook

    He stirred the boat
    Two to three hours
    He kept us afloat
    I think he had superpowers

    I was tired after one hour
    Tired of the controls
    Ready to throw the anchor
    In those shoals

    Ryan stayed true
    Operating the helm
    He was great crew
    Not easy to overwhelm

    The anchor was no match
    When he yanked it up
    Ryan won every rematch
    He was a sailing grownup

    I miss him already
    Very smart and happy
    He was very steady
    And he has so much ability

    Good luck
    Sail a good course
    Do not get stuck
    With any buyers remorse
    Les mer

  • Jason

    Jason

    He has been here the longest
    No real sailing experience
    But he is much appreciated
    What a great acquaintance

    A hard worker
    A strong guy
    An intelligent man
    A real problem solver

    A handsome kid
    In great shape
    Much accepted
    In any scrape

    A war veteran
    Serving our country
    A man of action
    In this pageantry

    Not a pleasure cruise
    Not a regular sailing trip
    Not too serious just amuse
    Not a loose but firm grip

    Jason does this well
    Keeping his cool
    He will excel
    And he is not a fool

    A great friend
    A fun fellow pilgrim
    I have to commend
    I will miss him

    The best to Jason
    When we seperate
    Much adoration
    What a great mate

  • Head

    29. november 2021, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

    The Head

    A cramped bathroom
    Not fit for a large man
    There is much gloom
    Not much better than bed pan

    But is is better than nothing
    Unless it stops working
    So you have to be adapting
    A bucket or overboard aiming

    The smell is horrendous
    Just how it is
    Obnoxious and boundless
    Air spray is a compromise

    Helps to some extend
    But it still lingers
    With four men comprehend
    To the head agressors

    Attacking it all day
    Never a rest
    I would have a poor bouquet
    So much to contest

    The shower is not much better
    Barely can fit
    But you have to be a believer
    To be clean so commit

    Get in luke warm water
    Soap and scrub
    Towel off after
    And join cold shower club

    Better to be clean
    Than dirty
    Way better than latrine
    Definitely airworthy

    Not ranking of odors
    Bad personal hygenie
    Do not be freeloader
    Causing many others pain

    Use the tools present
    Make the best of it
    Be agreeable and pleasant
    Better than a bucket
