• ethereal tree

    Byjucasso

    ethereal tree in the forrest cathedral
    shimmer winsome bird wing
    crisp Autumn air bring slim stem
    blue azure grass capture frost
    the cost of losing you
    lost in the shadows
    rain like tears dripping droplets on branches
    strip the evening mottled leaf
    that fill the ground with grief
    creature stir black fur buries to ashes
    shadow of a darker moon cry to sea
    waves crash bluer
    i never meant to hurt the wonder
    it was a wonderful summer
    salt in the wound plunder put the mood asunder
    fire brimstone thunder
    upset depth deep dark sorrow
    forgive an ancient debt
    that may free us from regret tomorrow.

  • Enders of the east

    Byjucasso

    hibiscus sweet sugary dark bark
    no worry tender twig upon the heart
    dug deep into mineral floor the flora
    decades steep in soil root mute curl coil
    in a land as loyal enders of the east
    receive the royal Golden Pear and Goldberg bagel feast
    all the spoils are anointed
    by the romantic Atlantic
    castaway long summer sway trees warm wind skim shore
    pack trunk dump junk
    leave the bible in the drawer
    fold clothes from the dryer
    hot as if they were on fire
    by the Sound and telephone wire
    we are all famous in the Hamptons
    liable to listen to Lionel train his quartet
    in a most blue moody moon-set
    dance to the stereo
    strangers well meant amusement
    soon the snow and ice will trickle the pipes sacrifice
    summer ’18 fill a memory
    augment autumn upon us author autonomy
    search the birch for parchment
    as we did in Larchmont
    leave every leaf in place
    beguiled thoughts to file
    rile denial look my way your smile christen day
    wild child please don’t turn away
    fate is late thank God for time
    that has us pray for yours and mine.

  • i guess

    Byjucasso

    clamor to the glamor of the dawn
    listen to the bluebirds song
    continue on
    may God bless
    where nothing’s wrong

    i guess
    rest is best
    to quell the fallen fell
    as fellows tell
    chime in the bell will ring
    a melodic hypnotic spell
    that only time will tell
    that give and take
    the dwelling of mistake
    identity of late for greater sake

    forsaken shaken sky
    thunder in the wonder of an eye
    plunder the summer of joy
    fall careen with color seen
    by all the fear we mutter more

    winter shutter cloudy rowdy days
    in waves rough and cold and gray
    make room for holiday
    nestled in content
    i love you more than i have wept
    and catch the dream i’ve kept.

  • blow wind blow

    Byjucasso

    blind wind blow snow pack punch timid time reject be gone leave eave the roost farewell warmth’s habitual memory static fantastic temperature plunge redundant duties done to sleep in shadow shade
    fade a sinking sun
    bliss kiss the risk of mist revert redeem
    the evergreen hid amid a sleeve of sheen

    angels frozen to the wing crackle to the fired wick quick as moths to a flame as do i to hear your name sweet refrain branch upon window pane fields wheat as sweet as grain flourish across the dewy plain in sunshine and in rain

    whistle of a train rail through hill and dale
    moonlight bright or pale blue sky and windy gale i feel for the ones i fail from my
    powerless jail

    time capsize my mind the need to be as free tender as a tree restless as the sea
    when i was young and 23.

  • death a part of life

    Byjucasso

    death a part of life
    the final curtain
    a role well played
    that we should come to this
    forever and a day
    i look to you
    my light in shining powers
    awestruck the final hours
    a forest for the flowers
    tears wept for every living soul
    upon the soil of toil
    moon and stars the sun
    wrapped in silver foil
    wind call out to the sea
    ocean midnight blue
    from deepest depth the heart
    as ever true
    stream rivers sudden fish
    a golden hue
    red and yellow snapper
    snapper blues
    misbegotten ocean bottom floor
    i feel i know in letting go
    you love me more.

  • sand water sky

    Byjucasso

    sand water sky

    moon ebb flow
    tide caress
    sway shy shore
    remorseful gray day

    coyote prey morsel
    snake venomous torment
    blacks blues red fish
    swim green sea

    dawn break into song wind unwind warm
    winter blast long last
    sky overwhelm sea with tears
    black spider fear red lizard
    cat lick blizzard
    exclaim mix rain
    capture coast in paint
    buoyant boats bob like ghosts clairvoyant
    burnt sand burnish clam
    knotty pine rhyme
    branch bent to bear sea brine

    bird bay sea foam sand
    red flag red nun black can

    stars sky starling fly
    cloud encore thunder clap
    snow fall winter brawl sun withdraw
    schooner sooner sail flap
    undertow flow lap.

  • wind blows

    Byjucasso

    wind blows
    shelter in the hollow of a tree
    embark cold
    never get to the root
    fruit too hard to swallow
    swallows in a tree
    small against the leaves
    fall to earth tremble breath
    night mask a need
    fly away to the sea
    waves crash
    alone to face eternity
    your voice a sacred memory
    the tide is low the beaches empty
    without a word of empathy
    embarrassed lethargy
    turn thought to loss of levity
    I turn to you in summer
    I ask you for serenity
    to save me from my world
    coming to an end
    I need you my dear friend
    and never as an enemy
    your guidance exemplary
    a star on my horizon
    as gifted as a wiseman
    thank you for the kindness of years
    I keep you in my heart that fill with tears.

  • in wake of ocean depth blue sky

    Byjucasso

    in wake of ocean depth blue sky
    upon water cry tears of rain from heaven
    the benevolent good stood to understand an understated favor fated by the greater sweeping of His hand-elated beaming moon lit night stars bright kiss the dark, invite the dawn to come along in swirling storm a surly sea born the fathoms sanctity-the sun subdued a grayest hue replaces you but black and cloudy doubtful day recede to grieve the bay, it seem time lost in rhyme stir the spray-undercurrents play overtures the pounding surf suck the surface of turf hurl a world away, seagull dive to stay alive finding fish that way, fly distant reaches geese go in a row to warmer beaches-above the horizon shining in moon glow shimmer golden
    glimmer snow in winter.

  • innocence

    Byjucasso

    innocence may a sin
    spring carol in the wind
    blessed the heart may sing
    give us this yearling linger
    hearts and flowers bring
    yearning nor the nought
    Angel wing
    upon the Heath reason wreck
    the churlish golden ring
    support the beam
    of moon and dream
    tiring refrain
    to end the war before the thaw
    come winter once again.

  • heart of sea – for Deepthi

    Byjucasso

    star above earth below stormy night heart of sea
    beauty bound tremor found as she

    embark green stem
    leaves surrender september

    barren tree lay bare
    in the unseen twilight

    the moon unassume
    move an ocean wave
    half full-cool looming
    in time to bind

    crystal clear ocean air
    random mellow fair
    harbor hail
    boat of mast and sail
    along frail coastal freedom

    light the day perfect in a rose
    enable those rare memories
    in everything you choose
    revel in the heart and mind

    fresh flowers cut from the garden
    a loved one deep as grace embrace
    feel the love receive gently
    call twilight never break

    starlight comfort you
    wind hug you tenderly
    take away your fear
    the sunset in the west
    moon ascend.
