we #sail through the years

some focus outward
encountering what life brings

some focus inward
finding Self and understanding

blank faces #sail past
everyone in stasis til
metro takes them home

Fanciful as always, for you, I trim my #sail — to give it time. Because of what I see and know, I put out to sea, circumnavigating the roundness of your hesitation, of my apologies. Love collapses my plans and pride, but it is unwavering. I will wait, remembering you in every port of call. #vss365

Your sails aren't fueled by kisses. They are fueled by knowing these discordant winds could be far worse.
With these sails, you've scarcely managed to navigate round the giant poltroon robot - the one a thousand spineless sycophants formed to strong-arm their way through this.

I looked over the departures board: nothing flying direct today. For once, time was not of the essence: I could have sailed, but I hate the sea.

Raincoat had supplied cash, so money was no issue. I decided on business-class to Nairobi. It felt like a good place to start.

Karibuni!

Sailing by?

Young girl who traded her heels for a #sail,
Found treasure in scraps of a rain-dulled regale,
She charted by laughter, not greed,
Kept a parrot and books for her creed,
And left the cursed gold to the gull with the tail.

Why not just sail round the world
drifting in the wind
lay your hat in far off places
where nobody knows your name
why suffer days that repeat themselves
when you can head towards new horizons

The ship
Roams the
Broken Hearts
Of
The White Dwarf's
Far flung
Spinning globes

Their sails
Patched
In black tides
Of treason

They sing
The echoes
Of Treasure
From a Captain's
Cosmic plunder

Tinker boy,
Marvels
At the
Constellation's wonder

Bob and Nora binge-watch "Love is Blind NL" at night. Every time a proposal happens, Nora gasps. Bob says they #sail into commitment without knowing what they're doing. Nora teases him for acting like a relationship coach and gets ready for the next available episode.

The
Constellation's sails
Trapped in
Her high seas

The navigation
Subconsciously
Transfixed
By her galaxies
Shooting stars
And the twilight
In her tricks

"Captains,
Caught a
Strange sickness,
He's come up
Deck loveable,
His eyes,
Seem less wicked"

'Making Waves...'

#vss365 #sail #poetry

sail
with me
to those glistening horizons

upon the dream sea
that we named
for the sentiments
that we couldn't

dive with me
into the fathomlessness

we hold our breath

the anticipation of lovers

the surface
calls

but your pull
is undeniable

#vss365
#sail

Sticks thrown off the bridge
We race to the other side
First to sail through wins
