Winter

Winter breathes a fantasy into morning.
Wreaths of icy crystalline drift through gardens.
Snowflakes dance a rhapsody over meadows
	Wonderland divine...

Flurries chant their signatures at the daybreak,  
Swirling wonder, shimmering crystal magic.
Falling silver serenades sing in plainsong -
      ...

Snow is drifting; sugar-like are its crystals
falling on my tongue, but dissolving swiftly -
neither taffy-sticky nor toffee crunchy;
Eye-candy softness.

Twirling in the rosy pink sky of twilight -
cotton candy clouds are the heaven’s sweetness.
Night is falling. Silver becomes the skyscape.
Whiteness is tumbling.

Moon’s glow shows me mounds...

When the silky light teases, slowly filters
         through the land of drowsiness, gently rippling
               into ardent red allure, whispers linger
   ...

April's mist has filtered the early sunrise,
Meadows spread their blankets of colored rainbows
Newborn lambs have nestled in clover cradles,
christened by dewdrops

silky, shapely, shameless seductress, swaying

   tantalizing, torrid, entangled twining

      languid, luxe, libidinous, luscious luncheon ~

         Black widow spider

Bless the deviled eggs and the preacher’s children.
Grab a piece of fried-to-perfection chicken.
Coca-cola cake or banana pudding?

Shifting sands beneath me leave soft impressions
Like the gentle etchings upon my pages
It is not my goal to create a pattern
Ever enduring

   Scintillating hues disperse on blank canvas,
        electric essence sparks azure palate mauve;
          incandescent lightning leads to the ballroom--

A top the verdant mountains of nirvana,
A most limitless effulgent radiance
Across azure sky, spilled crimson horizon;
                             ...

Still night, calm night, night ever quiet, peaceful,
Be thou always here when the day is over;
Restful, silent, filled with the fallen dewdrops,
Gleaming in moonlight.

Still night, calm night, graced with a starry frescoe--
Virgin, Hunter, Pleiades, cross of sorrow--
Keep thy tales forever as softly fettered,
Gleaming in starlight.

Listen!  There’s a melody wafting sweetly,

Tempting blossoms liltingly. Watch enchantment!

Kokopelli’s bringing the beauty nearer.

Magical flautist!

deep and dreamy, whispering, calling softly
falling teardrops, memories, sadly floating
hearing mother murmuring from the garden
talking to flowers

Winter’s dusk forlorn on the moor has found me.

Sky has cried its tears; now I soak in stillness.

All at once, I hear in the gloaming - bird song

flooding the wasteland!

Lady fair meandering verdant hillside
Tracing amber prints of a night that glimmers
With the vintage lace from a rosy springtime
Breathless her senses.

Holding Adonis

In another place and another lifetime,
gazing into eyes that gazed back with passion.
Kissing you, loving you and how you touched me.
Summer’s moon watched us.

Are you in the world, my sweet lover? Are you?
Have you gone the way of the gods before you?
Blessed was I...
