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.

tell me do you love me?

Byjucasso

tell me do you love me?
after all the road is cold narrow
hearts are scattered

believe old beliefs meant in the moment
shallow course to know divorce lost causes
walk in a world held long ago
in tears to show you

the orchestra my significant symphony
sing through the trees indefinitely
windy vibes chime in syncopated time-
tell me
do you love me still?

my soul wears a shroud
takes me out of reach proud pride
pray on bended knee to be alive

wish to see you
standing in front of me
tall as the trees swaying
to some funky jazzy jive
happy as a melody.

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.

a duty to beauty intuitive

Byjucasso

a duty to beauty intuitive
resume the aspect of gratitude
felt the thoughts revolve
around the hands of God

driven miles taken
a world of time alone
from ocean to the sound
the dunes are quiet now

heartache put to bed
that pains a wound embedded
amend the time resolve
I am her lamb
wish on star she is my heart

stick and mud a dam
water rushes swept away
sleep deep till break of day

December morning
a moment like a chorus sing
sentimental in her merriment

I look to you ever well
sound church bell
chimes bright as sun
morning nightfall

seems the freeze will never thaw
pray for peace nothing more
live life like you’ve done this all before
familiar with love a stranger to war

the heart may fail
as cloud may pale a sunny day
enter in your magic grin
windy as a gale

happy as a reign deer
love you so
like
fallen snow.

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.
