LIFE IS LIKE A MAYPOLE

Outstretch above are blue skies and golden sunshine
as train of threads is softly thug and braid to a pole.
Behold, this sky high pole of bright crayon colors,
they speak slowly about life in quite a number. . .

Sturdy wooden pole standing high...

Ah! Harsh cold winter must be tired,
 his grip weakening, he breathes  his last.

The frowning skies finally crumble fast
 revealing downy blue clouds that waltz
The sun blows kisses of shine--- like a rainfall
touching, ...

A QUEST TOUCHED BY HEAVEN

Treading towards an immortal search
  a mortal soul stood begins the quest.
Crossing deep sea and burning desert sand
  down the wild and civilized land,
soul driven by zest will so grand.

Right and left battle: a door to growth and anguish

Premium Member Springtime
Springtime touch unfolds veracious winsome,
colorful rainbow blossom to come.
Tranquil redolence fragrance,
a ballad narrated on carpet grass pleasance.

Crisp dawn enlightens fanciful golden
colors, of purples, pinks, greens, quaint and olden.
Blends float and dance amongst the valley
outstretch, toward enraptured abbey.

Glorious hanging ivy, juniper, kiss
me not plants, all in...

Charms of Nature

Noontide cordial sun immerse golden spheres
Birch and aspen leaves rhythmically quake
Susurrate deep in quietness appears
Timidly on soft earth shadow path wake

There, where nesting birds await safely perch,
While conceal sweet are their audible waft.
Cool breeze twine spider's web and bees who search
Stunning unadorned simple-ness...

Premium Member Unattainable
Beloved,
with preposterous
persistence,
I still search
for your likeness.
Gravitating
toward every
handsome bald man, 
I scan the light 
that reflects
off their head,
like the globe of home.
I strive for
the sight of bushy,
frost seasoned eyebrows
and hazel eyes
defined with
laugh lines, and I
shape-shift them
to resemble yours.
I hunt for
hearty hands,
calloused and
unabashedly
bleeding from
the weed wacker's
counterattacks.
I hearken...

Pale Shelter
encompassed in the womb
through darkness, i felt touch
ethereal strums from fingers
against my unborn flesh
as a melody soothed
in rhythmic pulses
from your heart
...it's the only time i felt loved

you gave me life
taught me to walk
two steps shy of death's door
i crawled in the shadows, afraid
cowering in the...

Premium Member Enjoying the Sunshine
Autumn echoes slowly fade
As Winter footsteps are seen
Natures spirit tamely sleeps.

Brisk wind whined as the magic
Of the feathery snow spins,
Home warm walls keep day chill out.

Sun's outstretch scattered bright rays,
Blending orange-red streaks clouds
Poise over blue free heaven.

Kids dressed warm with wet mittens,
Looking proud of their...

Grandma Wings
Grandma Wings
By Lawrence M Nunez

Dear Lord I pray,
That you give my grandma wings
Like the Angels in my dreams
That from heaven flies
To stand watch at night 
Over me as I sleep
That she too my angel may be
Tonight and forever

Let them be pretty O lord
as the lilies...

MY HEART IN YOUR HOMELAND


Cupid must have been busy he forgot my heart,
And so instead of a man I've fallen in love,
it is in the mountain ranges my eyes dart.
Sweet, the giddy puffy white clouds above
outstretch his arms to share a shady luff
amongst swarming emerald...

Premium Member I Gasp
I gasp

Morning is cold.
I outstretch my arm in empty reach.
I gasp.

I listen for the miracle: the shower
door closing behind him.
I gasp.
 
I wait for my toweled Rodin and
the whistling kettle.
I gasp.

I’m not sure if can get up today.
My breath returns and I robotically rise,
Gasping.

Hope, Dear Hope
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul 
and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.  
- Emily Dickinson 

 

My search for gold dust glow in harvest moon 
depletes me when once fertile ground’s plucked bare....

Lucy
When we first met at the beach
where we exchanged pleasantries, and
engaged in a long conversation
where you told me you baffled
at the ebbs and flows of the tide
yet scuttled at the soaring altitude
of encroaching waves
that outstretch and blend in like the dimples on your cheeks…
where you...

Will I See You Tomorrow
Tomorrow is another day
Outstretch your wings and fly
Milestones can be reached
Only if you beleive in thy self
Relic in the thought
Relax your mind and soul
Or it just won't happen
Will be put off and forgotten
Instead of achieving set goals
So bask under the sun
Ask for a little help...

Emission Biochemical
The spill overwhelms-
the bank. The fish
will meet the mates.

Fireflies outstretch,
in green blaze, igniting
the extinct flame.

*
It is September, and 
I need you, for
a final rendezvous.
