GOOD DAYS AND BAD

some days, you wake
like a death song
inside a graveyard,
homesick and nomadic

other days you embrace
joy and gratitude
as the wind chimes
measure the breeze
outside your window

EMBRACING ALL THAT BLUE

art by Robert Bissel

winter had been
long,
filled with desolate shades
of darkness and cold

he awoke from his deep sleep
breath-starved,
longing for warmth and beauty

stretching heaven ward
he willed all that blueness
to move closer

and the sky
so overcome with his desire
unraveled
into a million fluttering pieces
and fell

kissing him from head to toe
with its blissful embrace

SPRING SALUTATIONS

 

Spring salutations cheering blue
pink hints with gold wandering through.
Wildflowers dressed in colorful hue
draped in dew, draped in dew.

Sapphire florals, with lacy heads.
Lush petals where butterflies tread.
Graceful cascade of flowers spread
with hints of red, with hints of red.

Butterscotch sun reflecting light
Its reflective mood, burning bright.
Fuchsia blooms such a delight.
Oh what a sight, oh what a sight!

Swift winged birds leaving pink trees,
gliding on a warm spring breeze.
Fields of flowers stroking your knees.
A day to please, a day to please.

                                                     LOVE WAITS

Love waits, like the spring crocus,
folded, petal upon petal,
its inner core alive,
pulsing, curling around its destiny.

There is a rustling,
a knowledge that something
wonderful is forming
under the familiar layers
of friendship.

It is hard to judge that moment
when the fire turns
and the budding spikes
into a colorful display
of new beginnings.

Usually we are surprised
to find something so beautiful
springing from the ordinary.

IN EVERY JOURNEY

 

there will be dreams
that get misplaced

hours misused
stretched too thin by worry and neglect

but in every journey
there is the possibility of restoration

each new morning kindles
the gift of beginning again

listen to the wind writing poetry
fresh with new blooming

reach for the stars
as the saffron moon
rewrites your swan song

.                                                             RASPBERRY DREAMS

Wildflowers blooming on well kissed lips.

Floral elixir weaving hair clips.
Dancing ballet of butterfly wings.
Amorous humming, announcing spring.

Lavishly brocaded lullabies,
falling across soft lashed sleepy eyes.
Cobalt illusions dancing through gold.
Spring lady rising, sight to behold.

Velvet palms in fine luscious attire.
Unfurling buds, arise near and far.
Raspberry daydreams draped in damp dew.
Spring’s quirky lady dressed in bright hues.

                                              A HINT OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Silence says enough,
the words leave us
heavier than we were.

We rotate the memories
and pick through the rubble
always at war with the choices
that created us.

We build our lives
on the narratives of our perception

but a hint of something beautiful and holy
keeps nagging the spirit
to remember
the possibilities of being so much more.
