Would that I could live under the sea
I would take you with me
Maybe there, the world is much calmer
Less noise, more clarity
Atlantis might be my one true home
And Neptune will I be
To command water, wind, and weather
To be in harmony
My kingdom will be more vast than land
And prettier, you’ll see
I’ll prepare it all for you, my love,
Queen, for eternity.
there was never a doubt in my mind
that we are all here for a reason
but even if we know it or not
we hope to last more than a season
and we live so recklessly today
that we forget about tomorrow
and we hold on to happier times
so we don’t have to face the sorrows
but we have no control over life
no, not of our own’s or another’s
all we can do is beg for more time
hope against all odds for a keeper
please, let her stay
please, let her stay
I’m not ready for her to go away
let me keep her another million days
(Warning: Graphic images after the poem.)
no more dolphins
no more whales
no more eagles
only tales
no more trees
no more fresh air
no more fresh water
only litter
no more babies
no more daughters
no more prayers
only haters
this is the heritage
we leave behind
I’m so very sad
for humankind
Dolphins killed in Brazil.
Indonesia’s deforestation.
Forced abortion in China.
Forced abortion at 7 months. (China)
NO HOPE
There was a song
only we could hear
would call to us
in whispers
and wind
And we’d float
on riversong
heart beating
loud
and
soft
But we fell
and we lost
pushed down
by the
waterfall
And bits and pieces
not enough whole
to stay afloat
on our
dream
The water
carried you away
and the dream
is all
I have
today.
