Sam Kauffman Poet Verse

Kissed By the Passing Breeze of Awakening

Kiss by the Passing Breeze of Awakening

Dust of divine whimsy
Flutters softly on unconscious cheeks
With ephemeral dawning
Fleeting like the flash of silver sandals
In moonlight - here then hidden -
Stepping out of the opaque
Soul stirring from oblivious daydreams
Stepping into moments of classical
 Lavender-rose moments.

The leaven of breezes in stardust essence
 Flares in lambent clarity
Caches of chimera, that drain the heartbeat,
Shrivel in bursts of cheeky shooting stars.

Aroused from the depths of sleepwalking,
Grace notes float on rose scents 
Harvested in potpourris for strangled screams
Scrambling through midnight fogs,
Sentience revisits in soft swirls
Awareness, roused by reveille,
Stirs caressed codas in soft preludes,
Awakes in fresh mindful raptures
Nurtured by a passing angel kiss.

Joanna Daniel August 1, 2023 at 3:50 AM Wow! This is a stunner, Sam, your love for music pours out in each poem making me rapturous, "angel kiss" - that's what this is:) Sam Kauffman August 1, 2023 at 10:19 AM Ever grateful to you Jo for your lovely messages and feedback that is so encouraging! Thank you! I feel so blessed by music. It is surely God's "angel kiss" to us! And, just discovered, it releases endorphins but doesn't, unless it's a lullaby, put us to sleep like that Thanksgiving turkey dinner! Thank you for sharing in this awakening with me! Sending you blessings of joy and appreciation!

Valsa George July 25, 2023 at 9:36 PM Each time I read your poems, I come across some phrases and images so spectacular and telling- never used by any one before. Such images give the reader 'lavender rose moments' and when stringed together, they make your poems stand out. Often the 'codas' of your poem lift the reader to a higher plane. Lovely, dear Sam. All the Best! Sam Kauffman July 26, 2023 at 9:58 AM Dearest Valsa, what beautiful feedback. I am so honored. Thank you!!! I feel the same way whenever I have the joy of reading your poems. It is such a blessing to share poetry with you and I marvel at your poetic gifts. We are indeed blessed to encourage one another and spur each other onto that "higher plane!" It is a rare and beautiful gift, dear friend. Sending you blessings!
