• gratitude for all you do

    Byjucasso

    gratitude for all you do
    to care for the meek and mild
    to walk that extra mile
    upbeat with a smile

    all the while missing
    the ones that always listen
    everything good

    anointed
    you came into this world
    brave little trooper that you would

    let go the disappointment
    you are as clear as rain
    in syncopated rhythm

    the stream of the unconscious
    run in thought constrain
    unlike fancy fame

    speak as plain as whispers in the rain

    it is all a rage
    a tumbled stone
    inside the heart
    enflamed

    the sea surge
    the moon hurled
    across water and sky

    wind descend
    trees bend
    earth a rock
    time a clock

    night a day
    black and white
    shades of gray
    return soon
    if only minutes may.

  • frozen rose garden guarded

    Byjucasso

    frozen rose garden guarded
    snowdrift ice crawl
    stick to wall God’s gift
    white as snow nowhere to go
    light dim gust wind air blow quick

    the battled burden bear the brunt
    every grunt trudge frozen blunt
    twigs encased roots immersed
    over girth of earth
    saddened solid

    winter flurry
    footprints embedded steadily
    smooth earth tone stones
    entrap the heavy discovery verily

    harness the energy-
    beside enmity
    a heartfelt empathy
    the care you give to me

    shining moon
    in wind wake majesty
    east end reality
    spiritual miracle
    moment mastery
    mirror mystery
    reflect sparkle
    glisten
    sunrise risen.

  • the seldom love

    Byjucasso

    the seldom love
    most sorry
    cannot bring to carry

    kept the stressful day
    oceans emotion
    stall tall squall in doubt of dawn

    red lines streak black sky with gray
    silver moon slip through crack in cloud
    wind blown winter score the Ice

    pelt the earth to her inner core
    a darker dimmer beam
    from shooting star recede

    angel hitch a ride
    trip where dipper lie
    let spirit be your guide

    an easy peace of pride
    extreme release unwind the night

    complete a kinder mind
    the sign of the dove.

  • a peaceful wish

    Byjucasso

    a peaceful wish
    amend the sorrowful heart

    may your birth
    be a source of wonder

    find love in everything kind
    as thoughts catch in tears

    the moon light the night
    to hug the earth

    in beauty of your life
    forgiveness sends the world
    to revolve around the cycle

    to bless the tame and the wild
    in miles and miles of valleys mountains
    breeze blowing trees grassy pastures

    long rocky winding rivers frozen pacified
    white Ice solid marbled
    tree limbs caught in fog steaming cold content

    highway running dart through black hills silhouette
    the wind shifts over the wet countryside upset
    forget regret the worldly cause refuse

    return relent renew
    know love as you knew

    love you more with every dawn
    the love is you.

  • the distant summer

    Byjucasso

    the distant summer
    aloof in winters bare
    fallen snow follow
    soon left the swallow
    bird of flight quiet night

    sky violet light cool blue azure bright
    mixture rain and ice
    the fragments of a fixture triangular angular suffice
    spare change the faculty cries
    mammoth hysteria the autocrat experiential

    mental prowess experimental
    illumines potential
    be well the time elemental
    glow ever gentle reverence The Messiah
    shy away the dependance survival

    semi-conscious streams realize dreams
    chase tomorrow looking back archival
    notes sing of spring sanctuary
    every living thing in memory
    find fraternal favor a humility

    bear roses in-enmities
    recite sweet sentiment
    play instruments of merriment
    regard the cold with wool and glove
    forgive the world with love.

  • ships driftwood slats

    Byjucasso

    ships driftwood slats timber to joyce
    voice of the sea lap salty white capped milk
    a seaman heart a captain’s never ending stein
    aboard the wide planked boards of pine
    in the mist adrift in brine

    chanty town oars curl skimmer
    chunks of ice sacrifice winter
    on shore bury fish bones

    in summer succulents grow aloe vera fertile soil-
    of late dissipate
    the royal sun is not as great
    the heart has been undone
    a chill has come

    blown breezes reaches beaches clamor
    spirits in overcast sky awed by the glamour
    slinky stars flirt with mellow fellow moon
    when the good sun goes to sweet sleep
    with peace and love a hug from above
    where the world is a pearl of shimmer and light.

  • tundra firm undaunted

    Byjucasso

    tundra firm undaunted
    sacred soil anointed
    harmonious roses nap
    in lap of twig and dirt entrapped

    slapping wind-rough winter
    bitter cold mutter brittle bones
    the timber of your voice cracks splinters
    ageless foliage struck in wonder wither

    freeze the breeze frozen weed
    steamy frost sent centigrade
    lanterns line the lane glow Ice on window panes
    perfect tears of Heaven came

    water down the plain insistent rain
    a random kiss a borrowed bliss we will remain

    a wanted wish to get the gist in longing years
    resist a grit of earthly ground
    I wish you safe and sound

    censor relevant fantasy
    temper in December upset sanity
    defy the cry of innocence
    in the imbalance of your chemistry
    set fire brilliant destiny

    ignite night lethargy
    glimpse the moon in memory
    speak to me tenderly.

  • in a stream

    Byjucasso

    bold exalted moon
    light strewn earth autumn bloom
    mid circle the loon
    shake the very fiber of being

    lake dire strait in evening
    looking for mate
    in the act conceiving
    morning soon

    sway into day a time for living
    watch for hawk as others stalk
    the sound of squawk fill air with feeling

    in chill grass whip in wind
    hide in murky waters take it on the skim
    float exposed glint of sun in eyes
    duck for minnow many tries
    wet roll off backs dry

    on embankment brown oak/red maple leaves
    soak rebellious rain to bleed
    end of drought that dried up all the green

    the earth sleep in streams
    quench thirst
    reclaim consciousness
    deep within a dream.

  • an opus

    Byjucasso

    the dusty road
    dusk a hush of rust and gold
    the evergreens have no leaves
    tho something up their sleeves
    to pine away the time
    tied up in knots
    the needles taught and slim
    to let the wind blow in
    the earth lay at their root
    as owls lay awake and hoot
    crest fallen they regroup
    to feel a chill so soon
    before the sting of winter
    when the sun will cool
    sunlight on the rocks
    cold as ice would freeze
    the warmest heart
    still in the chill of darkness
    life is formidable at best
    for the creatures in their nest
    as a biting wind will break
    the bough
    and hinder in winter
    takes a final bow
    fallow soil
    like furrows in the ground
    another thing
    to wait in the wings
    a harmony of strings
    an opus
    for the closeness
    of spring.

  • calm cool breezes

    Byjucasso

    autumn calm cool breezes blow
    leaves turn shades red to gold
    mesmerise a sunrise glow
    a forest stream the even flow

    virgin serpents bluest sea
    your eyes looking deep
    in my heart as ever was so sweet
    dream met time for sleep

    kind regard the harvest moon
    yellow golden fires flame
    revel light ignite reflection pure
    beach grass stir in weather warm
    soon the ocean wake

    promise you care
    love that will not pain
    i’ll tell you when the war is at an end
    welcome autumn sun
    the falling rain
    in a season fall again.
