Sapphic Stanza
Poem
Sapphic
Holding Adonis
In another place and another lifetime,
gazing into eyes that gazed back with passion.
Kissing you, loving you and how you touched me.
Summer’s moon watched us.
Are you in the world, my sweet lover? Are you?
Have you gone the way of the gods before you?
Blessed was I to hold you so closely. I was
holding Adonis.

Sapphic Stanza
Poem
Sappho
Crimson lips, lovers awaken with a kiss
Creamy white skinned Goddesses resting
In a time where Socrates lusted after Sappho's
Poetry and art.
The Grecian people worshiped her with
her beauty and exquisite prose. On the wings
of her art she played enchanting music arranged
for immortality.
Golden chariots in fields of apples bold,
yet, solitary like one fallen from the tree,
Sappho wrote her memoirs and music
while exiled, her death unspoken.

Sapphic Stanza
Poem
Enter, June
Enter, June; I’m filled with anticipation.
Flutter in on me! Like a lovely lark, come
trilling. Weariness has been long time on my
shoulders. Come thrill me!
Bring with you the moon and your passion. Yes, the
lovers’ moon that poets so often sing of.
Winter brought me nothing but dreariness. I
need to be glowing.
Hurry, June, and bring very soon the summer’s
sun, for spring has been endless rain upon my
pane. Dispel the gloom! Please appear, dear June, and
warmly embrace me.

Trochee, Trochee
Falling drifting leaves by the wind blown around
Crashing rolling waves the sound sighing echoes
Sadness hollow winter comes whipping nature
Chilling the ground solid

Spring in the quiet wood
The wood in spring quietly awaits sunlight
Wake up, wake up insists mother nature
End your gentle slumbering, winter has gone
Show us your beauty

Sapphic Stanza
Poem
SAPPHIC
BRONZE STONE
Along the timeless praise of deep Egyptian sands
where old men knew, one favored by the gods
and when this stone arose the hymns chimed through dusts
for sacred bronze Sphinx
Trailing here as my eyes danced in full wonder,
breaths heaved temporarily in long wisps
a part of me somehow ripped when its face spoke
traces of Pharaohs’ myth

Poem
The Shoals
Walking, talking and skipping stones by the shoals
Caress, hug me tender while shining bold eyes
Sparkle, playful promises until fall fades
Sensibility flew

under Boulder coverlets winter springtime
hug me naked laughing & telling girl friends
gossip til autumn

Sapphic Stanza
Poem
I Leaped
I Leaped
By Dane Smith-Johnsen
Saw my life indisputably clinging to a past night.
Saw my hopes fall downward, as my heart lay broken.
Ripped asunder like petals of a buttercup, strewn.
Vanished with the wind.
Saw my dreams undeniably showing in the moonlight.
Saw my mind rebounding and life’s paths ricochet.
Turned, I, somewhere to a place that in God I knew not.
Lost in the landscape.
Saw my soul distinctly crying, dying without insight.
Saw my lone self-sinking in a crest’s avalanche.
Plunging quickly as a geyser whose power lost might.
Steaming with duty.
Saw my Father understandingly reach down from above.
Felt the strength of loving as He held out His hand.
Leaped I safely to the bosom of His arms that day.
Praying, by faith, home.

Blue and clear,the sky stretches over valleys
Cloudless splendor heralding summer's fervor
Autumn's colors fade as the flush of summer
Brightens life vivid.

Sapphic Stanza
Poem
Sapphic Dawn
When one hears the morning call from chase valley
sounds of nature’s reveille upon the breeze
out of these chains that refuse to set one free
thrust of the dagger.
