Aurora Borealis

You dance in your trailing trousseau,
          Barefooted in the dark of night,
             The distant side of the moon,
            Leave speckled stardust looms,
        Weave intricate patterns of 
     Chameleontic uniqueness,
          Hidden behind long curled tendrils.
                  Dance of dark breathless love,
                     Undisturbed by star- or city lights.
                   And I witness, dazzled and
             Deeply in love. My soul follows your
               every pivot and pirouette, your
                      smile awe-inspires my heart.

Chuck Melugin Date: 3/17/2017 7:51:00 AM Darren, the way you dance with Aurora makes me jealous. She illuminates the heavens as you put on a poetic light show! 7 My best to you, chuck Login to Reply Darren White Date: 3/17/2017 8:05:00 AM Chuck, thank you :) Also for the 7...

White Wolf Date: 3/17/2017 4:30:00 AM Wow, I would so want to witness that! If it dances as well as your poetry it must be amazing! Login to Reply Darren White Date: 3/17/2017 4:34:00 AM It really does dance the way I describe, Budgie. It's simply beautiful :)

Richard Smothers Date: 3/17/2017 4:23:00 AM Darren, Nice poem. A great example of excellent vocabulary usage. It has inspired me to expand my word-hoard. Thank you. BTW: Here is the decipher for "Unwanted Flower" It is about Marijuana, and how hard working Americans loose their jobs (mandatory drug screening) over a legal (some U.S. states) natural plant. Login to Reply Darren White Date: 3/17/2017 4:27:00 AM Ahhh, thank you! Love that :)

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 3/17/2017 3:54:00 AM - A beautiful picture, Darren ... a light show in beautiful colors ... you will never forget - // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Darren White Date: 3/17/2017 3:59:00 AM Exactly, Anne-Lise, I miss seeing it... a lot :)

Doug Vinson Date: 3/17/2017 2:09:00 AM Darren. : ) Your words are deft and enticing, leading the reader on. 27 years ago I saw a great Aurora in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada - so fast moving, like the wind was rippling and flapping a giant white sheet overhead, covering half the sky.
