a gentle dew drop
slides softly down the petal
awaits admittance...

twilight
gentle, dreamy
moaning, searching, caressing 
ambrosia, insight; prayer, lace
mystifying,unbuttoning...deepening
nightfall, awaiting
dawn

The heat of today,
Shall vanish, as the day ends;
Coolness shall return.
·
Coolness shall return,
On shoulders of tomorrow:
While night exhales dawn.
·
While night exhales dawn,
Breath on invisible wings;
Discharges fresh air.
·
Discharges fresh air,
The lungs of the forest breathes;
Scorching regions praise.
·
Scorching regions praise,
The arrival of coolness,
Their faith awaits dawn....

Singular snowflakes spread-out
blanket a dreary barren berm 
that overlooks the dormant meadow
bringing a brightness to fields of grey.

Smiles overcome me as I watch
the proud red-breasted robin 
pick at pieces of weathered brush
choosing just the right one
to comfort her nesting baby.

Whistles echo out of the rustic...

Awaiting Loveliness - Acrostic


L  Longing for the warmth of springtime days
O  over frigid gloom of wintertime,
V  varied memories come sweetly forth.
E  Etched like a painting by Monet, I see
L  longer, brighter days with springtime sun
I  inviting buds to slowly...

*** Awaiting Inspiration ***
(written for my brother and sister poets)

Reaching for dreams in the black of my closed eyes, but sleepless,
I go on in music, out past radiant lights — 
Bright and brighter — spreading beams that hold back off every
Fright plotted by the cornered,...

I can see clearly 
what has always been.
Love's Horizon
nothing more and nothing less.

My soul careens in this
new emotion timeless
and pure.
Drawn to you by your
dauntless love.

Once I was broken,
now healed by your words spoken.
Your love illuminating the
vast distance from cross to heart..

Transforming a path to
your devotion...

The hour arrives when moon and sky unfold

as prelude between day and eve awakes;

till hand of sunset bids goodbye, consoled

and quietude lingers before  dawn breaks

endowing soft pause,   mending workload's aches.

What happens to a poet
When all their words are lost
Head upon a writer's block
Praying their sword will drop...

As one man comes
waltzing into my life
Than another man comes
just the same
than there are many 
whom coming around
all be just the same
for I not know why
but they all seem to claim
they want me as their wife

But why.. how can this be?
I mean.. really .. 
I...

Awaiting Autumn


By end of August, leaves curl on the trees
     as hues of brown and yellow catch our eye.
While shades of green fade in degrees,
     we know September's cooler days imply
it's time our Summer bids goodbye.

Though Summer...

As New Lovers Wake To Meet Dawn's Awaiting Treasures

Waking in Love's glory, he felt and said:

With heart swollen, bursting with love for her
 with her sweet, wonderful smile gazing back
With sun casting glow in her waking eyes 
 with soft, tender words uttered as she...

As music plays
I imagine
Within my mind
As My Heart displays
Love of Truth
Awaiting forever
within time
When shall tis be
Moments 
of Sweet Melodies

Then I see...
Him standing there
Off in the distance
Dressed in his Blues
He tis Handsome as ever
His Suit and shining shoes

Then he turns...
For I see...
Within his eyes
His heart so...

Upon the seas there sails a mighty ship
Her hold is weighted down with precious gold
She sails across the wide and surging sea

Alas! so dark and stormy is the sea
The men in fear and quaking grip the ship
The waves have no regard for chests of gold

While...
