• elegant moon

    Byjucasso

    elegant moon
    shining brightly room to room
    simply spun to stare would stun
    soon tomorrow rising sun
    blond as beach bleached in strands
    hot sand extend the curve and bend
    humid air cool a savage scorch
    timid synthetic awning cover porch
    rolling fire pit throw fit
    the torrid sun sizzle sidewalk grit
    the fault a steamy assault
    concrete crack with skill
    the truant trudge of tired will
    smelt melt
    in rubber sole expel
    burnt umber the color encumbered
    dark that isn’t pale

    luc-warm to boiling
    the pot too hot to grip the lid
    of handling
    the soup is of good stock
    lady lifting ladle languish
    in haste the taste like paste
    bland don’t waste the rest
    say grace to grimace grumbling
    bumble bee is comfort
    peas and carrots tender
    crumble
    catch a fish on a hook
    heart rendering
    feed loved one roasted onion
    and potato
    alone mutter
    saffron rice black tea on ice
    wonder
    apron strings preserve such thing
    the fruit will bring love
    a family toast a twinge
    then back on the road again
    I’ll give you what I can
    always been a fan
    what’s cooking in the pan
    biscuit for your apple butter jam.

  • Monolithic Aberdeen

    Byjucasso

    the mind a monolithic Aberdeen
    in the middle of a fantasy
    where all goes well between you and me
    you are my spring where June may avail
    bird on the wing of a dove in love spinning her tale
    I will fail no doubt to lend
    the end of such sweet harmony
    to bend like spoons weighted down by too much sugar
    stirred to awaken a sense of milk and honey
    left of tomorrow’s yesterday’s
    birds sip sweetest sap from the maple milked to tap
    buoyant buzzard bargains for bones in the shoulders
    of boulders-
    camping out bugs bite bats borrow ubiquitous unity
    bears outfox fish for lunch beavers bristle
    civilization dine on vacation steak gristle
    I am so lost not knowing the cost too much so little
    incurable thirst the juice of an orange wets the whistle
    where is my prayer book what have I done
    with my leather bound missile?
    my silence is saved it goes to the grave-our little miracle
    an answer so sweet to rub your feet to gain your trust
    to know that you love me as best as you can
    is genuinely just
    God bless you woman.

  • with the swallow

    Byjucasso

    masked moon cloud aloud with heavy rain
    cling to bough droop currants vine
    the train cumbersome-
    trunks of bending birch quench their thirst in puddled dirt decay
    sweet root, bearded bark shade shadow glade in shallow dark
    to hear a lark
    giddy in his yelp
    a cry for help
    mellow memory of the swelter
    give me shelter
    oh how he weeps
    to see the dove mourning
    an irreconcilable peace
    the cost of knowing
    tomorrow
    an hour
    in the life of an owl
    lucky to find field mice,
    sleep in a barn
    with the swallow.

  • first bright of morn

    Byjucasso

    first bright of morn
    bird song-reborn
    crisp cool April air
    sun out alls fair
    trees begin to green
    wind a breathy clean
    sky a bluest dream
    clouds a neutral sheen

    and never will I wake
    with a heartache
    so help me God
    thank you for the stars
    a window into time
    that rights the wrongs in rhyme
    to sight the smallest kind
    with the love of happiness expressed
    upon the rhythm of your heart in mine.

  • find the long way home

    Byjucasso

    until
    the moon
    mythical mineral
    mesmerized miracle
    method actor speaks
    her social sojourn
    bask in the lime light
    bisque in a kiln
    knotted as a kilm
    she kills the monster
    in daring attempt
    to free the need from times she’s wept
    the churlish messenger
    known as something peaceful
    i bite the hand that frees her
    bent on breath to seize
    a borrowed moment will not appease her
    with so much more to say that isn’t meant
    allow the tide that swept with tired wings
    sent like arrows the courage stings
    yet glad to have met you with no regret
    for you have tried so many ways before you left
    and I a little bit more than all my mess would bore
    let me thank you for the holidays when met you at my door
    you let me go to let me know
    what gracious lives are living for
    line scrawled in the sand
    find the long way home.

  • a peaceful dove

    Byjucasso

    impressed by your candor
    reduce the grand glamor
    dirt road hold your own manor
    that open door step forward toward
    the harsh hard life before past sworn
    an ernest yearn to earn your grin
    the favor won to win
    all the ones there to share
    the time the wine the care
    why are we so stoic?
    I know not what I was to let you go
    to save you from myself I guess
    you know
    there hollow in the wallow
    of sorrows known
    to follow a borrowed tomorrow
    as if it were alone
    burn the wick that wrote the writ
    that swam with you in the harbor
    wake come of age in an arbor
    shake off the rage of a martyr
    turn the next page of your partner
    sigh as a night sky cries
    to carry the innocent dark
    to save the moon
    too soon to part like a peaceful dove
    who flew away with my heart.

  • without apology

    Byjucasso

    moon lofty lilting laugh
    change hap the ocean bath
    gratified surge relax
    splurging waters lag
    swim a fin to drag
    salty seaweeds store
    midway display the stingray play
    across the sand rock floor
    shellfish blacks and blues array
    accept darkest depth invade
    felt the colder fluid flow
    air bubbles blow in undertow
    deep below forgotten
    hit of currents crash like serpents
    wriggling great promise
    let go of dreams that make it seem
    fish must eat bottom greens
    engines roar sputter muffled sound of beasts
    little ones dangle little feet barely touching brine
    laughing cooing as papa casts out a line
    suddenly hit in a blitz so quick
    a bass or is it a grouper?
    whatever he is he sure can swim
    jumps in the air like a tuna
    all is fair we’ll eat him rare
    get to shore or sooner
    the tackle box smells of mildew
    if you say I am you are
    the blues are running in summer sunning under
    skies as dark as denim
    to protect themselves in schools of thought
    lure fish into a feeding frenzy
    fated on plates from fishkill ny
    baked-butter sauce lemon
    sprig of parsley
    without apology
    fish no fish
    go to heaven.

  • candy wrapper super hero

    Byjucasso

    he’s a skid a spoof a fop on the loose
    a boy a girl a flip flapper
    a candy wrapper super hero
    weed wacker-soda cracker
    hip hop podjock an old soul an all night crasher
    bean pole face-mole screen saver
    introducing the semi-nudist tea totaler
    film buff powder puff scene stealer
    excersize dancer thighs “the eyes that paralyze”
    capsize your kyak in the meanwhile yak yak yak a poet of “words words words”
    and letters to his Zoe, the
    sharing of their worlds, a love that keeps on growing, in knowing a
    special bond a lifetime no regret
    to be as close as two can get
    fond skaters round the pond be
    blessed in heartfelt harmony expect the best
    so pardon me respect the biggest heart you see
    in Zoe for all eternity.

    Ben bonhomie good story
    brave knight chicken Kiev
    clarinet man to get
    in a ruse never rude
    in a very mellow mood
    playing prude
    in the nude
    says his prayers
    thinking of you
    grateful for his time on earth
    serious to feel his worth
    grateful for a life to lead
    to help the ones in need
    his grasp far outweighs his reach
    two young fellows on a beach
    taking pictures where they hope to meet
    in the give and take of irony.

    tall dark handsome
    dark horse horoscope Scorpio
    boots like John and Ringo
    wear your red leather jacket
    walk like a flamingo
    karate
    come partay
    how much is that doggie in the window?
    all is fair in love with Claire.

  • candidly

    Byjucasso

    there is a beginning and an end
    in expressing the essence more or
    less the silence of your excellence
    you shine forever in the glow
    to hear the fearless clarity
    a voice
    to throw away disparity
    to thwart distraught polarity
    for a summer sanity
    tossing cookies candidly
    you say the sweetest things to me
    singing songs you bring
    that melts the bakers chocolate
    whisk upon a bar
    that has me in the batters bowl
    chewing brownies from a jar
    the moon is cool the light is white
    marshmallow clouds float in the night
    peppermint leaves fall in love
    with apple tree embarked
    a storm brew such a teas.

  • as the rain

    Byjucasso

    moon mellow yellow
    Arch angel halo
    hallow earth circle below
    after twilight dawns glow
    in rites to save the day
    spirits sprites covet calm
    ever quiet clever quite
    a revolution of light
    dance before a silent sun

    most modest mottled moth
    marry the dragon fly
    a haughty lofty assault
    peppered by restraint

    sprinkle softly your Summer salt
    sun pale clouds faint
    as the rain tears sweet lament
    for every bless-ed saint
    and every violet.
