Premium Member In the Forest of My Dreams
Where conifers gaily waltz tempos evergreen
Unspoiled by human deeds, pure, and pristine,
Eagles soar there, spanning freedom wings 
And trees gently whisper to rhythmic bird trills
Echoing grey owls, blue jays, robins, crossbills,
Hopping, jumping, circling, frolicking in breeze
Reveling with hatchlings, feeding on berries
As sun rays filtering-in on...

Premium Member Call My Name
The whisper of dawn calls my name
gliding like a softly-bathed air: tangy
and afloat with a spice of mint 
in christened pools   lithely buoyant.
A path of upturned twigs rip free
to sail along bobs of peppered dew;
dewy in a way new sunrise adorns
pastel fingers where...

Premium Member Wisteria
Oh how this bodice is dressed in taffeta,
Lined with hundreds of lavender pleats
Spiraling, drooping, whirling
All over my voluptuous contour …
Bare these limbs grinding on soft moss
To tap among rustled displays
From many a lovers’ heat to children’s romp.

I gaze at my long tresses hung by threads
Of...

Premium Member Gallivanting As the Unicorn's Guest -
Galloping within the nights of her innocence
he raced around the field fire chasing the heat of equine glee,
the horn of his head, a wizard's weapon and a witch's wish
with which a poison may be whimpered and youth enriched with longer laugh,
rose gold gilding on the...

Premium Member The Dingo Kid
Beware of the dingo and watch out for your goat,
he hates our current leader, but is unable to vote.
He’s been doing hard time for relations with a horse,
he finally escaped but then he was caught, of course.

Back to Yuma he will go in a red...

Premium Member Gray Clouds Roaming
I hear a rustling in the leaves
 As the wind huffs and heaves
 A storm is coming ever near
 A rustling in the leaves I hear

 Gray clouds roam across the sky
  Some leaves swirl up on high
 Thunder rumbles in the dome
 Across...

Premium Member About Time

where gently huffs the wind 
in clicks of seconds undefined,
my entire being becomes aware 
how grasping unto this moment,
this flow of Now slips from
time , as sunray beats the light
way down to the ground:

inside this space where quiet trails,
a lake of senses rivers on
fluid in...

Premium Member Naughty Doggie
A jiggling rush of energy
Wags along our messed-up stair
As Lullie huffs with a naughty glee,
To cause mayhem beyond compare!

My dachshund begs to play tag -game
With flopping of ears , this just disarms;
While dog’s trick to win is one big shame
She guards me dear from any...

Premium Member The Death of a Horse, the Birth of Memory
The rain didn't fall 
last night so much
as it was thrown.

The wind didn't blow
last night so much
as it was whipped.

And a whip is
a thing which
lacerates, it cuts.

The day after
was the last day
and the next days
will be filled with
no more and no longer
until the next days
outnumber...

The Love We Had Seemed So Far Away
i look to stars and wishes flew through space never to be heard again
fun to friends hearts do meld and break facing until time ends
this loop that plays and beats that syncopate become but a gem
pleasure a chest opened in surprise feeling no need to...

Winter Blues
Winter Blues

A cold chill filled the air.
A frost lay on the grass.
I didn't see the ice
and fell upon my ass.

I stood up very slowly,
with many huffs and groans,
my whole attention focused
on the aching in my bones.

Some think the season's lovely,
with snowball fights and such,
until it's...

Mind Vs Heart: a Conflict
My mind and heart will never be friends.
Sworn enemies, they wrestle and box
for control of me, the battle never ends
like the tick tocking pendulums of clocks

I ask my mind when it keeps me awake,
"Tell me, what do you think I should do?"
It growls and huffs,...

Pursued of Death
[Psalm of obsession]

Sleep with the remembrance of Death, and rise with the thought that you will not 
live long. - Dwais El-Qarni

He huffs and puffs
impatiently,
anxious at seizing
a moment unknown
of mercy
He scavenges on me breath
in every nook
He fossicks after me soul
in every cranny - as
He pounds...

Mustang
A wild mustang blew over the steppe, a solitary
Pale rider rushing over the chest planes to greet me
Engulfing, stampeding through sharp wicked valleys
And emotions were herded into a bone corral
Slamming the gates against this Dun Stallion’s
hips, while he frothed at these invisible bits
Dusty huffs, wheezing...
