Eyes closed
As lips caressed,
Mouths joined,impassioned
Tongues explore,in our love's embrace,
Time-framed

Howling Wilderness
windswept
bleak treeless plain
white blanketed mountains
permafrost hardened ground, I am
alone
Soft fade,
Breath, shadow, echo—
Silent goodbye lingers,
Whispers drift through twilight air—
Goodbye.
Magma,
Earth's deep anger,
Fire erupts, ash ascends,
Life's raw, transformative power,
Mountain.

Tendrils,
Twisted, reaching,
Sun-warmed leaves, fruit hangs ripe,
Man's patient and yielding journey,
Vineyard.

Motion,
Constant rhythm,
Crashing, receding flow,
Life's limitless, changing cycles,
Ocean.

Darkness,
Wild wind's fierce cry,
Rain lashes, thunder booms,
Nature's raw, ferocious power,
Tempest.

pale blue
Polar vortex/
pre-dawn light, puce, gold glow/
no match, She trades Her mere myth for
the Depth
Water
Fresh, Clean
Fast,Calm,Powerful
Unique in many Ways
Clear
Seedlings
bloomed and blossomed
bright colors, fresh fragrance
delicate petals, thick green stems
flowers.
Awestruck
Light of daybreak
Monarch butterflies swarm
In a fluttering flight amid
Jade fields

Tempest
Winds o'er the sea
Nature wielding power
Exposing our human frailty
Humbling
How slight
The petal of
A poppy,flowering-
So much like us,beautiful,yet
Fragile
Hurry
Takes its toll as
In our daily stroll,we
From deepest ruts of blind alleys
Quicken
Beauty
free from above
embedded in our heart-
His loving-kindness ..ready to
impart
The warmth
Of love's invite
Encompassed my desire,
In two soft whispered words of love,
Be mine !
Eyes closed
As lips caressed,
Mouths joined,impassioned
Tongues explore,in our love's embrace,
Time-framed
My love
Beguiled me,with
Soft sensuous lips,sleek
Long thighs with rounded hips,twinned heart's
Enlaced
Long days
Of August sun
Where nature blinks and shrinks
The dying grass,yellowed in sleep-
Held fast
Night chills
the aging bones-
blowing on the east wind
flurries fine and dry settle on
new graves.
These be
the keys to life,
faith,hope and agape,
love,the greatest gift of all three-
to thee !
Desire
welled within-
words became a promise
so sublime,to love now and for
all time.
We had
met and conversed,
a rapport on first sight-
a chance meeting to a life's time
delight
