Moonlight on Meadows

Moonlight lays with meadows 
  Splashing auroras of platinum mist
   On midnight
 As lupine enters Luna’s corona
  Dressed in veils of silver blue.

Light’s fingertips spread wide
Taking in the silk caress...

BLUE BY YOU

What’s Blue by me?  

Butterfly wings, 
the Blue Moth in flight,
stilettos, suede shoes, 
for dancing at night.
Moonbows and rainbows, 
in the spectrum of blue,
the eyes of your love, 
when he’s laughing at you!  
Purple Lupine, Periwinkle,
and Violets can’t be!
Forget-me-nots, Bluebells, 
are...

SERENDIPITY

commercialized like dippity-do
— the extra hold hair gel.

sounds like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious*
so fresh; and clean —
a nonsense word used
when you have nothing else to say.

and let’s not forget serenity now**
yelled uncontrollably
when you need to calm down.

one more, s’il vous plaîs:***
serene, dip, dippity-doo-da-yay!

yes, i love to play with...

Quite a few of them tried rather fervently
To reach the light that hangs in bows
Sent sideways perversely
Through shadows of mist-like moonbows.

Or like a sundream cascading down memories
They’d trap in their heart’s chest-like the irony of the lion
Loving the lecherous acts of temporary reveries,
While believing and...

Persuasion's possessive verses
'midst absolute poetic madness
surrendered in rhapsodic poesy,
poets are a tidy sum of quirky &
care zilch of external perceptions,
content to breathe 'round seduction
and unicorns' phantasmagoria
insomuch nonsense amid candor,
directionless winds 'neath allegory
'pon posies and dragon's intimation
twisting mundane to vibrant intrigue,
translations representing prism's
kaleidoscopic colorful impressions
and themes...

You cannot harpoon a blossoming moon,
you have less light in the dark.
You cannot escape such sweet emotion,
or slide down a moonbows arc.

Through the dingy darkness
the glassy moonbeams burn.
Their intoxicating dreams...

each taking their turn.

The beams bounce from cloud to 
cloud with that same old divinity.
Crashing into...

'Tween Sensibilities' Splendor 

You speak adamantly of gentle courage
     and sharing spring's flourished nectar,
the swooning rhythm of swaying trees
   and the easeful breezes that flow
     'tween endearment's sensibilities,
misty moonbows 'neath dusk's stormy skies
  ...

In Marked Territory

Midnight tightly clasps the darkness,
Like a wounded heart,
In between topaz edges of twilight
 And pastels of first light.

Jealous of its cosmos
Shoos away the master of the day
 Turning the face of the daystar
  To other...

She shimmers silver between thickened clouds
in February winter's wind, portent
She tells of snow before the season's end,
whilst Pagan voices sing out loud and proud. 
The circle cast to manifest our rite
O Mother moon in this our sacred space
pray lend your power in your wise embrace
O...

equinox first days  
 winter grows long in the tooth ~
  daffodil parade

spring throws a tantrum
 wild outbursts of raging rain ~
  ravens soar on gales

mournful winds give way
 to springtime polka dances ~
  blackberry winter

soft breath washes dawn
 with clear...

As i languish in your lunar lick
moonbows hovering in petrol scented skims
coping with copious crescent chapters
Fooling its full face with greying mists that etch like moving scars and wrinkles
Sat in your light, keep me watching while slowly stealing seconds...

Midnight moonbows whet the lake;
Halo whirlpools swirl and swirl.
               A little boy’s paper boats
               Spur on his...

Magnolia bloom pale 
white like moonlight 
hurricane shutters creek
a sultry night wanes 
restless sleep 
ceiling fans beat 
quiet absent rhythm 
a soft breeze 
I lay awake watching 
the moon rays creep 
across a barren wood floor
finding its way to the corner
I cannot silence my restlessness
Troubled...

The way she sleeks through the spent waves
like a snake slithering within petrol slipped rainbow puddle
hypnotical the pull of her pools
moonbows supplicate before they echo in her depths
The sheen that meanders on her water defying suppleness
but lies in a pupil
safe...
