Best Watercolor Poems

The rain set me adrift inside a dream
My mind was on a painting miles upstream
An unforgotten "en plein" I once viewed
A light pastoral springtime interlude

Two horses, one snow white, one shiny black
Two barefoot boys in blue jeans ride bareback
Through pasture weeds bloomed orange almost red
White...

Watercolor morning - once more 

Pastel clouds linger
among springtime dreams,
sweet clover thistles
blush violet whispers
midst dew drops reflecting
peach blossom hues in
effervescent rainbows
against a canvas
of periwinkle skies,
while a pink chiffon glow in 
bougainvillea brushstrokes
paints a brand new 
watercolor morning
that we happily
 share together… 
once more


Good morning Soupers...

upon the painted grains of sea
I posted dreams of a candy-cane
barely on the verge of belief, we
drown myself to sleep in a bed of insane

within the breathing skin of a canvas
you rub your brokenness into my heart
shallowly I drift to clean up the mess
that neither...

She said..... 

When you took the lover's moon
Out of my horizon....
You placed in in another woman's sky

Memories in teardrops.....
You've really got me crying.....
And they're staining everything in sight

Like a watercolor painting in the rain
What was oh so beautiful has made a sudden change
Once love runs...

Pardon for fingers
Body painting my fixed face—
Marking up a scene
Of raw phantasms that look
Like they're falling for my tears....

Like watercolor pictures left out in the rain
Our colors have mingled,yet the originals still remain.
Two watercolor paintings without frames,
Became one picture over time,
Yet two of us still there.
Our colors blended naturally,
Now all the hues are shared.
I love your colors intermixed with mine:
Together they have made...

Falling asleep, you will see me –
faithful and yours for the claiming.
I won’t be asking, while caressing your sleep,
if we had been ever related.

Falling asleep, I will see you –
reaching concepts of piety, slowly sipping their taste:
and whatever we love, whatever we’re grieving
is becoming the...

Watercolor Kisses 

Watercolor kisses
paint an azure canvas
atop a yawning horizon
in honeysuckle brushstrokes
and soft daffodil tints
as your lips touch mine
this wonderful morning
creating yet another
masterpiece on
my heart

Good Morning Soupers...

On the horizon
a multicolored lightshow...
an ocean sunset.

In a cobalt sky,
Embellished with pallid clouds:
Leaden geese fly home.
·
Migration arrow,
Sadly fades before my sight:
Recoiling farewells.
·
The smell of old rain,
A pale past dwells in my soul:
Cycles of my life.

Mom you can’t touch me anymore 

Because at the end of the day 
People are not poetry,
We cannot sing lies into coats anymore.
We cannot imagine wool out of cardboard 
crayon boxes. 
Mom,
Warmth is not warmth unless we let it be. 

But now you’ve dressed me,
In...

The deepest blue sky
overlooks the calm water;
people stop and stare
as a golden masterpiece
emerges from my paintbrush.

made from

Raindrops falling on windowpane
     cloudy grey sky with lightning vein
Upon close look, a lilac hue
     and tiny pockets found of blue
Rainy days tempt poets to write
     of roses in bloom, stars at night;...
