Best Sedoka Poems

pastel June roses
afternoon picnic baskets
hiking a mountain meadow
the wanderlust thirst
as open as the ocean
beneath a fair freckled sky

drunk on sunshine wine
sunburns and blistered noses
sticky glazed humidity
crowds of rowdy kids
traffic congested beaches
August comes, longing for fall

We lie ‘neath the oak
on a carpet of brown leaves
that lost their amber glory.
With eyes tightly shut,
we envision spring’s return—
hoping our love does the same....

Yellow ribbons furl
on oaks that line our driveway
as we await your return.
Their luster's now pale,
reflecting the challenged hope
of a son you’ve never met....

a rose is a rose
though bent by the spiteful wind
some petals are lost
its fragrance has not lessened
beauty changes but remains

its essence the same
yet overlooked, you pass by
touching another
perfection your objective
you forget time's truthfulness

beauty is fleeting
roses were not meant to last
yet this bleeding rose
pummeled and bent,...

Objects of desire
quenches not thirst of my soul,
that seeks only your embrace.

That that comes and goes
is unreal, oh hermit ~
agape love alone’s real....

Words are bound in chains

So slowly dancing
in Time's chilling solitude
bewildering the shadows
in Love's diary-
desolately She stares as
Hope's unwavering beacon

Autumn Moon

melon moon rising
akin to the rising sun— 
In contrast to lapis sky
enchanting lovers
strolling hand in hand on shore.
Moonlight coruscates on sea.

You became a cherished friend
Then there was complete silence
Unfinished poems

"You are my fair Spring
your love invigorates me
life comes to full bloom in you"~~
I lie here, forlorn
Oh, that I could have known then
you'd be my fiercest winter

I walk among stars,
my vibrant soul resonates
their brilliant symphony.

It tells the story 
of us, each reaching out for
the divine in the other.

Two Sedoka's on addiction.
I think we all know someone who suffers from addiction, be it alcohol, drugs, pills or gambling..  Sadly too many judge from the action and do not see the reason behind many fall into it.

Winter’s silent soul
Kisses away the darkness
With trembling flakes, snow feathers
Cardinals whisper
Blessing the breathless prayers
From hearts who feel love’s inklings

Soundless as snowdrifts
On the edge of a shadow
Caressing the mountains, the stars
Imaginations 
Lift the spirits with lights,
Dazzling rays of hopeful fires

Burning away nights
Hues of laughter, kindness sighs
Erasing...

Never let PRESENT
Become the PAST at which you 
Look back from the FUTURE and  
Perceive with regret
What you should not have let drift 
Seize the moment live THE NOW

Footnote:
The Future is a mystery which starts with the magic in the Present. 
Please take time...
