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.

will the wonder

Byjucasso

will the wonder.

will the wonder surge the sea
see you as you are
a shining star upon the heavens
on the horizon of the earth plane
trace the smile of her face
commit to memory i embrace
a simple rhyme
thunder of her grace divine
humanity candidly corrupt
conspire the night ensue the moon
silver light play
against the backdrop azure sky
the earth reflect her mirth
in worlds apart with loving heart
she know the temper
of a centaur in december
do not hurt
when you remember
this old girl.

the long distant road

Byjucasso

the long distant road
the road you rode sunny bright
the darken night
in warmth and cold
summer blister winter blizzard
whisper through the pine
sweet sister
golden ponder
paths worn wither leaves
grasses sleep vines decline
blossoms drop
to the hard cracked earth
change in time
branches bark in rhyme
winds die
birds fly
the horizon pearl blue
rose the rose anew
sparkle morning dew
spring forth a change is due
sleep that close the eyes

light hearted dawn clings to the song
of birds in morn
warmth melt broken heart
thaw the mountain stream
a mood
rainbow bow
moon shine night
violins and flowers
romantic hours
the sun descend in the west
dream in reality
travel tenderly explore
to rave would not endure
a house can’t stand without a floor
love is not a game if it mature
like fine wine to the connoisseur.

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.

happy new year

Byjucasso

the end of 2016
ancient hours dated
the moon and stars placated
the year all but faded
good luck
through winter wood
avenues toy with
store front joy
lights on every tree
self imposed I compose a cozy prose
putting up the heat I am too cold
wake me from my sleeping soul
walk across a dream
with hugs & kisses
for
a happy healthy 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all the love,
junebug

Merry Christmas

Byjucasso

joy in the celestial
bring 3 wisemen ephemeral
from farthest hills
walk the dusty plain
call out His name
The Lord is born in Bethlehem
rejoice rejoice the people have
one voice
music flow like water to the sea
tears of thanks wash over me
river banks beckon no regret
bright star shine
the night
is calm
Mary with the child
in her arms.

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.

stalk and grass

Byjucasso

antelope stream stream
stalk and grass daybreak wake
lift the wind to see the seas
blow the golden coastline shake
November to an April freeze
then come what May tears of joy
water spill from her eyes
a new season
touch lips that grin
in a suggestion

stare stars fail to see cares
too late to worry change
encourage raging rain
enfold the sweep of grain
protective soil carry weight
fixed tight
picture of the paint

world power of prayer
cloister careless angst christen repair
cast away despair
mystery
sink softly moonlit night tears pour no more
speak plain blue skies soar
thunder strike twilight
hurt will pain until an endless sunny day
emotion blow up fields
dark golden light bathe
into sunset
night promise dawn
bird sing bright regard
familiar one with God.

Amen.
