 I think of you..

An instant swirl
of a rose-bud breeze
descending between 
silence and sleep.

My one and only 
night- time companion.

At last,we're no longer strangers

I know you!
I found you!
I have you!

Fresh manna casacading 
on a slothful pillow

The sweetest contentment released .

A flutter of butterflies
in sync with...

Alone in the cold a young bud will wait,
to finally bloom before its too late,
hoping that others around him will grow,
to accompany him while he learns what they know.

When it is finally warm enough for his petals to open,
he will reach towards the sun because...

Love is of itself an entity, 
Never knowing when it's touch will be.
 
Hate appears, a sentiment as well. 
Predators of love in consort dwell.
 
Cunning with intentions unrevealed. 
Spiteful in its malice to conceal.
 
Speak the truth to know a friendship's birth, 
Legacy of...

The wind is crisp when clouds cover the 
sun, what passes for warm when clouds 
disappear.

Great oak trees, maple and elm, in full
bare-branched display, before the bud.

Red norway pine, just outside my window, 
enrobed in rich, cinnamon bark,
still smiles with long green needles, 
bristling with...

Love is a flower garden,
An ocean of emotions;
Photographs of memories,
Love is a journey.

There are many kinds of love,
A lover's embrace and kiss;
Love of family and friends,
The love of a pet.

Love of nature and the world,
Mankind and all creatures;
For me, the love of poetry,
And, I...

A young bud, I’m awakened by Bells of Ireland
and a magnificent Morning Glory,
Baby’s Breath and Freesia near my cheek.
Larkspur and Delphinium happily look on
as blissfully I sun myself throughout the morn
surrounded by an ever-present bright array of beauty!

Enchantingly time passes as I take notice of
Lavender’s...

Her beauty, her presence, leaves nothing to chance
Unaware she steals eyes, at the very first glance
takes air from the lungs, steals joy from the fun
and brims with an essence that captures the sun

A smile that's as natural as a day in the sun
With hair slick...

A promise to behold
Unfolding not to be rushed
Wait, hope and trust; it’ll be....

Curl me up a tree
Wrap me into a bundle
Light me up like a candle
The warmth of my joy
Kills the carvings you fear
Yes, it bothers me
How you take pleasure in my pain

We are paperless in this age
The pen is made useless on a page
This knowledge falls...

Did you ever think about this
every time you get your car washed, it rains?
those muggy showers lower the heat wave
I'll see you at the car wash tomorrow!...

midst winter's branches
a tiny green bud appears...
heralding springtime

sunshine will coax it
to become lovely flower...
to wear in spring's hair

My eyes wafted toward the edge of a thicket
Where briars and sage hastened to thrive
There amid brush and bramble, a delicate face
Peeped out from the dense shrubbery and pine

Lighting my heart and reassuring my senses
That life was about to start fresh this Spring
Laughed the hesitant...
