Best Serenade Poems

Just as the moon rises each night
and even as snow is caressed by its light,
then glowing, I'll rise, becoming your dawn,
your curved sleeping form to smile upon.

With eyes like bright stars, I then will embrace
the landscape of you, each small line on your face.
And surely...

Blindfolded, he takes me from the car through the humid air of August. He holds my hand, and then surrounds me with his arms, when small obstacles appear. He brushes the hair from my forehead, gentling me like a shy colt. The silk rectangular scarf,...

This oversized wooden chair feels oddly comfortable as we snuggle up on the raised deck of our cabin at the summit of an anonymous mountain here in Luray. No need for conversation. The tree frogs and crickets understand. They sing a superlative song of love...

I’m singing honey-
rinsed sunflower serenades
twirling with corn rays…
and I’ll waltz through every fall…
to embrace his saffron warmth...

When the sunset queen sings,
jinxed Jasmines wither, and~
primrose willows quiver,
unfurling clemency 
in ivory sliver.

When the sunset queen sings,
wailing waves pause in awe
sea-fairies waltz through haze,
twirling to tuscan tunes,
flipping turmeric rays.

When the sunset queen sings,
nightingales sigh and trill,
as moon pearls soar above
cinnamon glazed ripples,
ferrying psalms of...

autumn serenade

autumn spreads her wings
 arias of tawny hues ~
  summer drifts to sleep

amber moon rises
 pumpkins reflect twilight song ~
  shadows breathe cobwebs

streams of orange leaves
 flow in tangerine torrents ~
  fall river medley

streamlets slowly flow
 red leaves twirl on lazy...

Moonlit sky
The splendor of your glow
So powerful, I fell to the ground.
As your love has made me so sure and enamored
Your milky glow delights my eyes, your starry eyes dance and gleam,
I’m set to forsake this life and yielding to the grandeur of your Being.

Wind and sea and waves and sun
   sand in toes as day is done
Seagulls glide, sandpipers run
   young dad splashes with his son

Breakers rise, translucent teal
   lifeguards poised as youngsters squeal
Seniors search for shells - they feel

An early spring morning is greeted with a robin’s song
A delightful chorus inviting other songbirds to sing along
In his chorus of “cheery, cherry, tut, tut” sounds
From a robin happily singing and dancing on the ground

A chickadee perches at the feeders to watch the show
And stops...

Windowsill love song,
The mariachi crickets:
Serenade the night....

*A small lake named Serenity am I,
well hidden here among the fragrant pines;
reflecting the **cerulean of sky
till Sun behind the distant peak reclines.

***Now humming bugs crepuscular emerge
to greet the twilight’s creeping.  Next a fawn
has soundlessly appeared upon my verge.
A lapping in the stillness. ....

I could chisel my love into a mountain
But mountains errode away 
If I carved my love in solid ice
It would only last a day

I could write my love up in the sky
But the wind would soon displace
I could write my love into a book
But letters...
