The new tomatoes were
Little bumps
On the
Vine
Showing off to the
Universe
Before sundown
On the fourth of
July
Waiting for the 
Celebration
To begin

Duckweed choked
The pond
Set back in the
Woods

Baby
Painted Turtles
Full of hope
Sunning on an exposed
Log
Heads snorkeled
Towards the
Diaphanous
Crescent moon

Vinelike tree limbs
Trellised the
Surface
Scum
Stretching
Glassine algae
Like a smoky
Haze
Clinging
To the
Underworld

Gripping
My
Stare

"You're here," he whispered from shadows

My fragrance consorted before me 
Heady scent of musk-infused blooms 
Intoxicating allure, lustfully impure

On the bed was an opened poetry book,
across it pages,  a perfect red rose
Dark crimson, like the blood within me flows
heated by need and the greed...

"People will forget what you said, forget what you did, 
but will never forget how you made them feel."

He stole my life's love and betrothed
to have and claim as his own mate,
and now I plot, my dark soul clothed
with blackened rage and clouded fate.

The flames that burn within me lead
toward an every fiery gate.
Dark, evil thoughts have cast their seed
on embers, my soul...

The air is drunk on the scent of trellised roses
Snails draw trails on a rain soaked white washed shed
Shapes draw eerie life like human poses
Stars reside among white clouds overhead. 

I saw her framed in the arbor in your garden
Chatting with kids now raising kids...

AMBER    CHANDELIER


Late October and dark trees
Bare of branch and bark
Mask  an airy golden volume yet:
A leafy brightness in autumn’s  aura.


Gloom of day but the spreading maple’s 
As if seen through trellised panes:
A Russian chandelier in the Amber Room,
Each frond glowing,...

I sat with rum and Joan Baez the other day
Writing up three poems in Bombay
One short  another crooked
Yet not quite a disaster
The other long and sad
Not very bad but still not much more
Than a chinchilla whore
In her teens, plump, with baby fat
Still around her...

Bridge of lavender
 floating in the sky;
grape hyacinth tunnels
adorning a drive.
Flowers trained to shield 
from the sun’s rays;
perfumed eye candy.

I sit on a bench
gaze and breathe...

Trellised blossoms
in summer splendor,
engulf my senses and
quickly render
floral visions
where I enter
realms of fantasy.

I bask in the luscious
periwinkle warmth
of Gaia’s heartbeat;
my...

Deep in the jungle where the deep river laps
And the tiger rich meal eaten naps
Where the young one’s play at their mothers side
And the deep verdant canopy reaches far and wide

In a lush green meadow where the cattle stand
Chewing their cud as they stroll the...

Palace walls caressed by a beam of light,
touching my face as it beckons my eyes.
I have slumbered in silk throughout the night
and now, thoughts of my love beg me to rise.
I’m wearing a smile, as one may surmise.
Looking my best in a stunning array
of long...

Frozen winter fear
melts in nectar streams. 
torpor days are gone
at last mist dissolves
in sunbathing clouds. 

Painting unveils 
smile of nature.
Monalisa
stirs our senses.

Rose trellised

dance in love

Bird's nest

The beauty of blossoming flower,
exudes from the charismatic core 
of the unfurling buds 
with the fervent fragrance 
of rippling shower of the spring colors,
trails the trellised wings of beguiled butterflies.
Under the enlightening sparkle of cerulean skies,
I get rid of my antiquated affectation,
reinvent with regained realization,...
