friendship – Page 2 – June Kaplan

walk miles many moons – for Scot
Byjucasso
walk miles many moons
to seek the suns of June
play in warm sand
build castles with your hands
wade into pearl spun waters
a glistening Christening
draw your arrows to the target
in the center of tomorrow’s courage
climb the white flat rocks
grip the grout
hold the tool firm
remember your God
meet the challenge with expectation
value in the equation
to experience perfection
spoken in eloquence
the angels cry to see you wince
something to prove a harlequin
the tears roll down like measurements
in the crown of your proud elegance
master of your own design
to feel your heart to know your mind
work till sundown he is kind
as a setting sun in a benevolent sky.
when love follow
Byjucasso
when love follow
sweet-water tears tremble
a temple spire
spark wire where barn swallow swoop
glide billowy air onto hallowed roof
lick the wound of winter burn
turn in the wind
discern a truth
too cold to murmur
sweep seas
seize pleas
foam wave yearn
gravity awaken
moon stillness
ocean break sandy silt mothers milk renew
fish pass briny school of scrod and blue
can’t count the ways
you’ve cast away the line terribly taut
with better things to do than fish for thought
inside a bitter bark
for you are true
and well and smart
find your way
in silver gray and darkest heart
rumor take the schooner catching tuna
drink from tides that flow
countless milestone
skip across river so
beckon you the blessing
my gentle joy in peace thou go
and I am left confessing.
my friend
Byjucasso
my friend
tide crash
fish swim under the sea
moon send wave pound
as the heart feels free
great the time it takes to know someone well
I hesitate every pause
to give you room
shine brilliant moon
under stars will mend
hearts so close blend
feel a new beginning
willing in evening chill
exercise a right of will
turn to you still
as Christ baptized by John
how we carry on the burden
under a forgiving sun
the tiresome weight
undo fate
angel in a state
borderline across the great divide
I sense your thoughtful hand in mine
I love you you are kind
heartfelt in deed
the chores must get done
in sleet and snow and sun
in wind that blow about
the woman moved to yawn
met by the dawn
slept the night till
early morn
time map the quiet of day
as a moon in tune with night
a disk shine benevolently bright
that she may find her way.
everybody detaches
Byjucasso
everybody detaches
groundwater poison
by the root of misgiving
deplorable adorable children
nights unwilling
want a memory
evenings tentative upset
blend toxic oils
heart function spoils
my world toils to bring me back
night to forget what can’t be remembered
split the cream from milk of letters
redeem serene pleasure
conceal fire in embers
rewrite night tempers
love forever
sense senseless sentiment
censor development ever wrecked the betterment
trust and settlement
you came along as if I were on the phone and
called it in
lost the planet to the war of enchantment
hurt the one you love
a soul romantic
looking for a rose enamored
candid valiant valentine
hover reduce speed
space ships in my hair
comb lobe brush cortex
adverse verb bite to curb the night
in words take flight fidget with gadget grumble
número uno undone undo
in unison two part harmony
a shirk-less shrink
in powder blue
invisible ink coming through
the boy in you so cool I love that cat
a brat as I am batty
some would say to my face think that I’m a fatty
I am nothing but a slave to my environment
count the days I may honor it
count the ways to ponder it
fonder of phrase I fondle it
cradle the wonder
as I wander incapable
in fable tolerating it
hit rock bottom the other day when Dr. told me
I might have 5 years?
when night is never commonly
Byjucasso
when night is never commonly
trees swoon southernly
canst rekindle comfortably
desire in monotony
fill will transparent
fall into Atlantic
fasten the romantic
eyes meet moon melodic
dire feeling ill-equip
to martyr your sweet cause
the one of welts and whip
raw unrelenting grief guilty grit
imagine you and I somewhere on a ship
on holiday to take a trip
with rainbows on our lips
from ports of call to feed our souls
white winter angry
world bold as bitter brandy
ocean roll cold sandy
wind is gaunt and gangly
moon marooned at noon
until stars share his sky.
the dappled rosebud path
Byjucasso
pursue the dappled rosebud path
the shady pond of barren bird
tell me nothing but your sweet word
that it’s not over
stroll in clover
the nights are colder
not curse the candor
we built in splendor
in timeless hours of the ardor
grabbing hold of decadence only absence wreck
continuum-faster leaving anyone for freedom is the medium
your cheekbones
chiseled as a David
remembered the creamy complexion your gaunt cheeks
faint blush in morning mist
I miss the hearty hug
the baby’s breath kiss
devout pout that laughs out loud upon a pretty face as this
the road is long I long for
God to help me find my way
back to
the dappled rosebud path
where first love felt of Spring.
wonderful wondering
Byjucasso
wonderful wondering
where the varied melody
transfixed as a memory
call for charms exemplary
twitter of a bird
in flight to night the sky
so deep the eve would pale his grief
with feelings harsh as hail
resume the cold draft air
puddles pour a bath
cool as pools to lap
leave a brooding lurid laugh
the Antarctic blast
cast the frigid fate
would make a heartache
in need of warmth
thank you for waiting
beside my garden gate
thoughts of you relate
sharing your soul
in a world at peace
i see you bearing treats
under the elegant pine
work boots on your feet
like a diamond in a mine
let me understand
everything too difficult to say
I search for meaning
in your well being
a portrait to portray
douce the flame of fantasy
put out fires rigorously
reticent in recent years
to advance in my infancy
lose the truth reluctantly
learn from cunning secrecy
elevate the lethargy
that chokes what spoke in clarity
hide the whim of wisdoms sting
like bees caught up in a bunch
I’d like to catch the reason
never let it go
when I hear rain
I get fearful all over again
calm collect me writing then
in prayer for an eloquent pen.
bless by will
Byjucasso
bless by will
harmony instill
explore the ponder
of a fonder fill
water pour
drops encourage goblets
the size of faucets
replenish thirst
all is worship
worried dignified gauntlet overflow
look gaunt high cheek-boned glow
positively magnificent
elegant
when you speak
take a chance
take me to your Paris France
where we may skip and prance
princesses in our own tuxedo pants
embrace a fine romance
in a finest dine and dance
walk with me on the Champs de Élysées
catch a cold speaking Portuguese
some day
travel Italy please
we’ll sit at Trevi Fountain eating bread and cheese
walk through Vatican City
cobblestone streets old pretty
Ferrari fiat Maserati
pizza pie home made genoa salami
pasta drizzled with fresh extra extra virgin olive oil
roasted garlic cloves manicotti ricotta
marinara & spaghetti al dente linguini boil
mussels in white wine/butter sauce will do
fresh baked sesame bread/Tuscan vino white & red
eating our hearts out in Europe
we must travel to be sure of
to live like queens they will serve us more of
take a dip in the sea when the surf’s up
on a sail boat we will manga till sun down
as fireworks streak across our bow
and the milk is creamy straight from the cow.
tell me do you love me?
Byjucasso
tell me do you love me?
after all the road is cold narrow
hearts are scattered
believe old beliefs meant in the moment
shallow course to know divorce lost causes
walk in a world held long ago
in tears to show you
the orchestra my significant symphony
sing through the trees indefinitely
windy vibes chime in syncopated time-
tell me
do you love me still?
my soul wears a shroud
takes me out of reach proud pride
pray on bended knee to be alive
wish to see you
standing in front of me
tall as the trees swaying
to some funky jazzy jive
happy as a melody.
a duty to beauty intuitive
Byjucasso
a duty to beauty intuitive
resume the aspect of gratitude
felt the thoughts revolve
around the hands of God
driven miles taken
a world of time alone
from ocean to the sound
the dunes are quiet now
heartache put to bed
that pains a wound embedded
amend the time resolve
I am her lamb
wish on star she is my heart
stick and mud a dam
water rushes swept away
sleep deep till break of day
December morning
a moment like a chorus sing
sentimental in her merriment
I look to you ever well
sound church bell
chimes bright as sun
morning nightfall
seems the freeze will never thaw
pray for peace nothing more
live life like you’ve done this all before
familiar with love a stranger to war
the heart may fail
as cloud may pale a sunny day
enter in your magic grin
windy as a gale
happy as a reign deer
love you so
like
fallen snow.
