in winter
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 undercurrent 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.
first snow
Byjucasso
first snow
light dance in the aftermath
a curious stance
we thank
the Gods
for
words music paint
faith in fate
glamorous engagement await
butterflies sleep through winter
bird take flight from everything
emancipate her broken wing
heal with song to sing
a chorus hark
eyes sparkle spark
an angel dark
ocean depth breezes swept
the sparrow leave her nest
a work of art writ from the heart always at her best
the question of the quest
a guest a natural transition
transcend complete the cycle
nature is her bible
she love her work the animals in the wood
across the landscape her cathedral.
ode to my mom
Byjucasso
you gave me life
blossom in winter
getting thinner
lovely cuddly
continual dawn of day
in the sunset
of her youth
she speak her truth
miraculous
immaculate spoof
the ever changing wind
bring
rain to wet the chute
to the root
the winter welcome
her brilliance
astute her pursuit is neat
warm hands warm feet
an olive branch extend
the dove so much my friend
attentive mild mend
any hurt i wallow
she fill my heart
like a walk in the park
shades of gray tint
light to dark
she means so much
everything to me
no need to search
for my significant other
tho lonely like a stone
i have
my beautiful
significant mother
she welcome
without exception
me back home
so much self expression
she is
the quintessential conceptual
artist
in reflection
mirror the images in her mind
paint the rain as wine
to master and to find
design that bind
a rite
that write the rhyme
grace the space
perceive the weave
conceive
between the lines.
grounded
Byjucasso
grounded in reality from a life imbued in fantasy school of thought sad rhapsody the world revolves the casualty the heartfelt faculty slight of hand grips the gripe of melancholy your image in memory the woman of my century to sink or swim our chemistry a temperamental remedy-my elemental melody, ancient path to hear yr laughter lovely as a reverie.
too tired
Byjucasso
too tired along the rainbow bridge
fell temples in the place of figs
stir a word conjure joy
miracle by end of day
dispel the myth that serve to pray
as ever was a realized man
to bring us to the promise land
in fire fury take my hand
in wonderment for you little lamb
pursue your guru drive a subaru
coax a camel out of pocket
professional curtesy symbolic
don’t turn away i need your expertise
examine the mind for a fee
defy deny derive conclusions
metabolic intrusions
my kingdom for an answer
to my prayers
help me help myself
this is my despair
so help me God.
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.
she lift the world
Byjucasso
swing string
spin wheel
before time
flutter strands of golden wands
golden in sunshine glow
crystal butterfly glow harvest moon
grow cypress a grecian wood
spun young maiden head to toe
knowledge in her
eyes cast metallic blue
beauty before you
lady dally therefore in fields of
rosy evergreen
beautiful
shadows pursue pastures sweet sway
wind rain snow
hers to know
forever younger drift
she lift the world
waves in summer
wistful winter wake white cap slumber
hints of spring
longshoreman in a storm
attract her mirrored image robust lusty strong
righting all the wrongs
singing her sweet song
night invite bright white light
greet the dawn frolicking fawn
and free her.
for all the world i touch
Byjucasso
in the course of mighty rivers challenging channels caught cold quivers quizzical shivers crimson creatures absorb light tints of night right in the middle of second sight
appeal the real spin the whim reduce the speed sleep well my steed run run the tears the task turn dark as night time come
and i alone catch colder still upon the breath of heart that kill the ever lost that never will-the milk is spilt i cry
and never was the stubborn day that end the year and this dear bay that swim the rim and beg to play a song sung low remorse must tow a wreckage of a ship at sea the hull of heaven miss her plea to be as free as she can be the torrent wind whisper
a fascination pursue a nation a revelation doubt creation and i a worldly novice ask for solace in the tropic of my silence end the vile creature stress the promise of a wretch the wicked with the license wither you go you know the flow of words will do to honor you but in the dark the cavern flood the deep sea caves are filled with mud arouse the time to rise and shine to fall the wick burn thick till done the shadow knows from whence it come and answer this my sweet resist to you and yours a best exist till day is here i tell you dear i am the one who fear the dawn if ever one felt as forlorn.
quiet allude rude
Byjucasso
quiet allude rude.
quiet allude rude blue moon
bold cold loom cool
chutes bruise by sting of wind trespass bird wing
unrest stress chill scream shrill against the pane
bane existence bare frozen rain
felt the pain careless stain the day
fall rise blades of ice chastise the night implied warm winter lied
in wait the field storm
warn of nature bitter breezes raw
fight unfaithful bliss tremble torn
winter throw a punch star shine dim
forest cringe pine rigid bark frigid limb
slip shock snow hard bombard seaward suffer seagulls
tomorrow they’ll be skating on the pond in village fond
bundle up stumble tundra witness from your window
wishes well inclement weather
woodland creatures scatter look for hollows
find tree cuddle their babies as humans do
the homeless go unnoticed-
colder than a dare no one care
warm in our beds work
we seek out lovers
attraction distraction reaction
to the magic of the moment work play rest blessed
God’s message help others
but first we help ourselves.
kindness shine sublime
Byjucasso
kindness shine sublime.
kindness shine sublime
unwind the wind in the middle of a whim to hide my foolish grin.
you taught me self esteem. I was so lowly before and since.
eyes wince to win the river rinse
baptized by tides of prints the earthen clay red rust in leu of you to bring me better days.
the sun will rise to sympathize the path is overgrown and thick with leaves as nights lonely prose of woes that chose like roses close and I a withered wit without a candle wick to flicker nor hear your morning song in winter long I hold the memory worldly wise of kindness in eyes that shine sublime.
