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.
