the foreign moon

Byjucasso

the foreign moon
I beg your pardon some pale night
seeing her again in a new light
makes heartache mend
words we send
getting a grip the script transcends
I am one to quip a card
a joker takes it hard
a smoker barred
to know her barely heard
stillness
water springs forth spring in springs
the rebirth of all things brings
naturally aged with time
yesterday’s grapes tomorrow’s wine
little kisses sweet and kind
deeply missed last goodbyes
early summer cries I love you so
so few chances to tell her so
for liberty her heart would
gain to rise above the pain
to call out her name in the
pouring rain
as she rides over rough terrain
angel morning dove
I will think of you
your gentle hug
with love

she pencil thin moments

Byjucasso

she pencil thin moments pack a present peace no stern feelings
yet regard for something lean a miracle of groupings right off the
starboard bow and hear the most fine tuning will get to her somehow in borrowed embargo a bless-ed vow-
to lift the grip regretted strife to widen hugs as thoughts decide someway to shift so sweet survive I will not blame your milk white
Pride
perchance a dance a sweet amour would welcome you so soon
the shore you much adore a wealth of health a fisher fly across the coast where boats
boast of the tide
around the bluffs near lies today the grasses long in languid sway
there in the pockets of the banks then starlings nest as out to sea
the daring tanks aloud I whisper off the pier come back to me
I’ll harbor you my dear.

music for the muse

Byjucasso

barren beach below snow covered sand
sun over the yardarm rue the stew Dinty Moore
fish the fish wriggle worm lure the lurid splash
diver bubble bends trouble murky brine
old boats sail away never die
fore aft Chris Craft hull and kisses
cast the mast crow’s nest rest witches
give it up for lent lofty wishes
bent spent cent sense solitude
watery green Goddess of Neptune
hurl the world submerge submit
an aging bloom
beckon second seldom clouds
rain a strain of Strauss
music for the muse
coming out of her blouse
glassy eyes descend
hide hidden harmonic heretic
reduce speed delicate for the benefit
of merriment
let there be
incredulous contentment
white street of Gloucester by the sea.

a silvery moon sparkle

Byjucasso

a silvery moon sparkle
cool as a waterfall
November shy starry sky

crush ice in a chilled carafe
water spill tall as a giraffe
cast a warmer day into cold water

soothes my heart to hear her laugh
in ways the shades of gray
turn a sunny day to bask

another side
elegant pine
bark upon trees where leaves
may leave but not forgotten
you’re in my heart
the natural beauty blossom

love is a free full watery windy path
the sentiment tell a tale
of whimsy
see the woman
in workers clothes-

I love her eyes her ears her nose
that winning chin
her arms her legs those fabulous toes
instep with her that she may feel
will not keep her from her grin.

étoilé

Byjucasso

deep tears escape down cheek
parchment wither crack
time wrinkle face
abhorrent act

raise gracious rage diligent glass
endure stimulant
regardless of age
your silver glow encrypted

turn a moon conflicted
dark night surround by daylight
puffy cloud wisps conspire
sail into wind for hours

turbulent seas make men tremble
seek women in their dreams
row galleon sail on
air current fly eagle off the distant coast
boast choppy seas
frantic panic in the Atlantic
lost to
praise the sun
waves warm feel thaw
golden rays upon the day
begin to melt the seagulls play
find
étoilé the star of guidance shine
tell me I am yours that you are mine
in all the mention of the time
whisper words soothing kind

swim with the fishes is there time?
ask for kelp all for brine
an ocean of love may mend the ship
that flow from the heart to save the trip
though rushing water swell and dip
welcome moon it’s half past noon
we’ll view the view and get there soon
before the juniper bloom in June.

etch

Byjucasso

star etch scratch
Bombay stretch path
rain stained street black
market place hurry haste fallen to your present state

breathe hookah hashish in rough honed alley
emerald mine dust grime the sound of bells abound
citadel pray palms sway canyon quake awakened by the dawn

fires roar animals roam towns poor no repair
rubies in dark cold archives of museum
shoeless children grow old with winter a fragile fanaticism
feed a family-dog and cat the delicacy-
western thought fight reference

night drenched fear relentless monsoon
morbid gloom so many doomed with people to spare-
minimal miracles bargain cynical sovereign
you suffer the mother of silence regarding violence

too pale a positive position know from reading volumes voluminous bibles in the throes of trial by era time capsule
centuries call in the monolithic overpass well rounded minds invaluable

rock ledge hold
cavern paved with gold-star studded sapphires in the chamber
echo mellow fault-line crack giant formation beg for
pressure to be released sons and daughters tied to the deceased-

jarred immutable condition reduced to tears
loosen inhibition-losing faith an exorcism-
the blind dream of vision without a set plan nothing pans out
break tradition make a beeline for antihistamine
banish the malice from being

drink to your manifest destiny-
exhibit the harmony pray for light of day
may the sky be filled with sun
praise The Lord
The Lord is one.

dreamy eyes

Byjucasso

unwritten thought feel
taken to adapt
never lose the choice to choose
vocal in periwinkle blues

chasing a miracle
invisible invincible prophet
science for a rocket
picture in a locket
semi precious stones inside a pocket

alone with the angels
guarding overhead
something that they do
while we sleep soundly in our beds
to every kind gesture said
persevere the lives
a fight within to give it up
which could erupt

how lucky it’s been
the woman whistle
through the wood
sun reflect her innocence
dream the theme of summer
the gloved hand of a farmer

water earth sky the season
affirm the reason
sunrise dreamy eyes
love the dark
the light of day will stream

stars light the sky
perfection is a feeling
true is a life lived aloof
the camera breathes with every proof

candles bright the sense of night
in the light of a cool Spring moon
to say i love you miss you
with tears the size of elephant ears

how good of you
she with sensitive eyes
shy
strive to try
you will heal

when we see each other again
count her fingers and her toes
kiss you hug you hello
dance with you under the moon
on a lake
farmer in good faith
every breath taken
never forsaken
the very depth upsetting
the function of creation
since we first met
react a tactful fact
you are my Mac
I am your jak.

dreamer

Byjucasso

deep blue eyed dreamer
under majestic
metallic moon azure sky
on the road miles wide
rains where horses graze
grass can’t grow in snow
hay mainstay
dogs won’t stray
shepherd herd the herd
with words heard
they obey

sun peer from sky forever shy
dawn belong to the morn
lapse in time writ the rhyme
clear crystal sheen
that only May surmise the green
chartreuse destitute shoot
covered over root
snow alone nature mute
frozen ground mood allude
hibernate winter brood
relate the thing hope of Spring
when bird take wing
sing song soon.

cornflower blue sunflower skies

Byjucasso

cornflower blue sunflower skies
clouds daydream adrift to lift
shade of gray a palest green
allow the plow of yellow corn
before the loss of cool in early morn

fill farm stands to the brim with apples pears grapes-squash
carrots turnips potatoes cucumbers tomatoes-the harvest approaches

weather rough ground hard windy
flinty skin dry eyes gritty
sand storm lost in thought
courageous parting with the past
walk with me again on the beaches east end
sit with me on the shore looking over the horizon
it is you I am looking for at the end of every rainbow
you hand me a paintbrush and you say paint it.

clock

Byjucasso

seasonal clock
jet black rock
liberty rile the heart
fabric static spark
the past we slowly dig
resonate to know of Spring
landscape disappear into the clouds
uncovering cows
new mood strewn over streams
kindly sigh relief
daylight craving time
has a lot to say my melancholy pine
streak across the sky Greek God
in your silver ship mirrored
get a grip thought the daughter
the world thaw to water
drown sorrows solemn
sorry sentiments shy maudlin
secret dream rely fantasy
the milk of sweet humanity
queen of sanity
sense reality
contend the meaning
love is healing an original feeling
in the late night of the evening.
