overwhelmed by spells
quell a realm bring rings as worn
by trees in the center
where the heart sleeps
waiting for an answer in fall
often watching the moon
I think of you
celebrations run the year
we try to hear the underlying
undying word of love as clear
as a fantasy forgives forever
cool and crisp windy ground
whip and chill the dirt to flirt
leafy crinkled crunch snap
branches bending low
half asleep we wait for snow.
take me with you
smile all the while with sunsets that beguile
know the joy you give in every hug
you amaze with peace and love
I know not what to do
to keep you safe from the elements
except to say transcend the pain
hope for better acceptances
I’ll try to remember your love
is so tender
my counselor my public defender
my sister for a cause
cat grasping at clause
straighten the closet clean out
the drawers
so many chores
to make life viable she is reliable
gets things done on the run
vitality an archival sun
many faceted analytical
professional camaraderie
a systematic consistent
expression of honesty
homogenized deductive proof
like a sap drips every minute
from the maple tree
don’t be taken advantage of
lunches are not free,
well maybe for you and me…
grabs a salad soothes her palette
lemon in Pelligrino
extends an olive branch to Jiro
by shopping at Dagastino.
placid immaculate woman friend
into the heart starting over again
there in residual listing
taking on water hearing thunder
mostly cloudy skies showers lingering
shallow pools still-cool
remains a steady stance
balance backward bask
the song sought to sing
unsung hero lyrical moon drenched dream
light the ethereal blindness
for an act of kindness
bluffing on the bluff defines
opposing so much chagrin
reach love within
lucky trusting one
crack open a smile
I ask her in
falling deeply in love with
the equestrian.
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.
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.
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.
in transition
like a child with religion
spark fly an almighty sky
love beheld in the eye to tell
a memory in silent homage
for one loved so much
to bring about change with knowledge
seeker seeks the weeper bright service
sliver of the moon
pinpoint light in the galaxy
nights get warmer still
find what fills you to the gills
ame for the dame to maintain
not shame her
feels your pain
tells you to get out of the rain-
a test of wills-will not blame her
sense the reason out
of rhyme-
seeing a sound season
something pleasing to believe in.
in thistle worn withered wicked worried winter, hysterical eccentric
concentric troves of
groves the weeping willow grows-
the strut admired beginning transpires-the forest run amuck-every
little fawn marsh golden yellow, the lagging lack of plight into the
night better days perfumed bloom a musty musk I ask we must but enter
in confederate strongholds seek wisdom
becoming to a mortal-heaven help but be for goodness sake the bough
may break the gist and I would wonder why it takes so long to win a
hug as after all the fall will fall befell the random night you could
not lift a life so long a fright has logged the fire burning bright as
candle burns a waxing moonlight shown white as silver stars carry on,
forsaken souls receive their gold as sorrow send the sultry sun to
change estranged remorse with love to touch the hearts of everyone-
and if in turn the grounds are burnt
the shadows fall on pavement split-parched so long a summer simmered,
inclined to toast the berries off the bush-figurative study a deluge
rain came and muddied the more the body struggle aches her trouble to
the break of boast to boost the worst most
stranded, remind the early tide rebounds-take me out to sea-regard me
as a body of water set me free one weekend night in mid flight from
anger ending possibility
and I the guilty party counted on a misanthrope to wage the war to
open doors-I hid timidly to hear the angels sing a miracle lost-skip
stones a waters whim-to miss the kind heart melt
that kissed the dawn of mornings felt-I follow allowing her gentle grin
that has her in my heart again.
what is a perfect flower?
long stemmed teardrop leaves
babies breath as round as bees
the beautiful American Beauty queen
lazy Susan black as an African mask
the mum and the poppy married happily at last
iris as irresistible mistletoe kiss under sunny blaze
days ease bring daisies dazed
roses supposes through osmosis grow closest
clover cover cuddles flower bed
oak trees soar weeping willows implore earthly floor
all my heart rise the garden wall
to see you soon in summer
your ever loving eyes bright light glow
unguarded in the garden
from head to toe I love you so.
a smile for sweet Emily
shine gentle light
horses hoof-beats heal the heart
softens the vibration day as night
God gives takes
potential in an ordinary day
the passive twins
iridescent wings
fly away from every pain
much courage in it
save summer wings in tune
wish you fame and fortune soon
linger in rivers cool
in melodic refrain
playing scales
your own legato
semi precious stones
place in a pocket full of woe
a shy lullaby
bluebirds sing angels cry
goodness to the hymn
there as daybreak falls
as children crawl
much asked of you
promises born will bring
stars all the rain and then
clarity hope faith charity
heal and mend the actual
gather roots grains parables
enter highest planes imaginable
sweep need out to gilded sea
ask The Lord to take our troubles
in trade for His amazing grace
on bended knee broke the back of dignity
sick with blinding grief
be blessed the youngster in her stride
each step forgives mercenary pride
please comfort willingness
with love and light to try
give us heart bless all with time
the scent of rose & baby’s breath caress
the fallen the sorrowful whimper in kindness please express
feelings are forgiving for all endured
may karma know no hell deserved
days designed welling up with tears
loss of loved ones hoping they be near
guardian angels father mother
watching over you sweetly cradled
our peace and love
to all the golden angels here & above
every mothers son embrace the fear of isolation so alone
retrieve your lovely loving soul
ask The Lord to let His Son
save us from ourselves in loving everyone
with everything we say and do
if it is true He will hear you-
may no one suffer or lose a loved one
be well in the world today,
may God bless us keep us safe
free in our heart mind body spirit
one love healthiness happiness
past present future
forever.
Amen.
