• when night is never commonly

    Byjucasso

    when night is never commonly
    trees swoon southernly
    canst rekindle comfortably
    desire in monotony

    fill will transparent
    fall into Atlantic
    fasten the romantic
    eyes meet moon melodic

    dire feeling ill-equip
    to martyr your sweet cause
    the one of welts and whip
    raw unrelenting grief guilty grit

    imagine you and I somewhere on a ship
    on holiday to take a trip
    with rainbows on our lips
    from ports of call to feed our souls

    white winter angry
    world bold as bitter brandy
    ocean roll cold sandy
    wind is gaunt and gangly
    moon marooned at noon
    until stars share his sky.

  • tin stars distract

    Byjucasso

    tin stars distract
    lite the dirt the beam compact
    combust/react

    lovers woo
    envelop lovers woe
    thoughts you knew you may not know

    swim sea undertow
    deepest waters crash
    soaring seagull cry

    loneliness will tell you why
    you haven’t got a friend nearby
    to care until the end of time
    a virtual ascend

    happy fellow warm mellow
    moon low world cold
    in that old familiar way

    salmon spawn against tide
    blue fish run away
    fishing fleet fish for meat
    sell it by the bay

    Fall skip into Winter
    fell on Ice/slip no grip
    darkness whisper whimper

    so cherished is your sleep
    you haven’t heard a word I speak
    nocturnal wish surreal
    murmur in realm of dreams.

  • to the sky I spy the amber sun

    Byjucasso

    to the sky I spy the amber sun
    in winter harsh and glum
    wandering blue as ample ramble
    clouds are barely one

    grateful for forest green
    splendid spruce pine for me
    froze the earth and all she glean
    troubled in her worth esteem

    be well the time abate
    no seconds on the plate
    to think it all too late
    remorse is great

    the music curve
    arch angels sing
    to know the very truth of life
    to have you in my sphere

    translucent waters cleanse their care
    to guide the rivers collide regale

    out of my element there
    in a state of kind regard reflect eclectic stars

    hurl gold moon into ultramarine sea
    pink sky resign turn darkest wine

    follow hallowed tomorrow with tumultuous slumber
    colder than a sorrow in summer.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • an olive branch

    Byjucasso

    a greater distance to the sun from earth
    paint underneath my fingernails the work to file
    deny my mother and her first born child
    deep chill my heartbeat still on trial
    older than a tree root rots
    misgivings tied to have me nots
    assert the failures of composure angry hot
    middle of day the right to have their say
    no matter what
    a break in the weather a mix of sun and rain
    our tears forbidden words bring angst a cruelest pain
    a flux corrode like rust repeat the same refrain
    you cannot trust the ones you love so much
    with loneliness to claim no loyalty no gain
    as a moon will wane I think we go insane
    for what is love but someone else to blame
    let light shine in eyes that look deep blue
    as wide as an ocean she will rescue you
    she is my mother bearing flowers
    she is the ear that listens for hours
    she cries the tears when she feels powerless
    she is my dear she is my love an angel the sign of the dove
    offering an olive branch
    on the other end of the phone telling me she loves me
    while eating olives.

  • calm cool breezes

    Byjucasso

    autumn calm cool breezes blow
    leaves turn shades red to gold
    mesmerise a sunrise glow
    a forest stream the even flow

    virgin serpents bluest sea
    your eyes looking deep
    in my heart as ever was so sweet
    dream met time for sleep

    kind regard the harvest moon
    yellow golden fires flame
    revel light ignite reflection pure
    beach grass stir in weather warm
    soon the ocean wake

    promise you care
    love that will not pain
    i’ll tell you when the war is at an end
    welcome autumn sun
    the falling rain
    in a season fall again.

  • a little while longer

    Byjucasso

    stay on the earth plane
    a little while longer
    madrigal phantom
    canyon hills gather beginnings
    endings fill the filament
    lament the will i met

    ointment rub away sorrow
    without you in tomorrow
    unkempt medusa
    rude enthusiasm sought the seeker
    some truth a pot of lies
    an artists proof an angel cries

    see the parting of the ways
    form a more perfect union
    arrays of new ones
    along the palisades-
    bathe in a glade down streams
    self consciousness gray the greens

    pity how she bleeds
    without that special someone-
    wife Mother Earth
    the stormy affair of her life’s work
    stillness walk in silence
    encourage benevolence

    sayer in troubled southern skies-
    through skirting issues
    tissues and a cane
    rebel cause the second came
    doubtful discriminations
    alter egos enflaming flames

    fire burn bright yellow
    flicker whiskey sours
    past partaken
    mistaken identity
    there is a better you in me
    someone I long to see
    who has a thing for spring

    purple pleasantries
    swipe the card of plenty
    tell me when you’re ready
    to the tune of a medley
    swoon the moon overwhelming
    the tide rushes very

    deep within the sea belly
    beauty of a whale
    may catch her tail
    her little calves running
    through wind tossed waves
    strewn prawn
    sea turtles seaweed jellyfish

    storms to coast the calm
    red flags reserve to warn
    floods flash reservoirs
    seasick senses surface
    race to rocky shores
    where seagulls swear and soar.
