diamond diadem of dawn
I'm white s m o k e ,
a silhouette of titanium wings,
tethered to the snowy flesh of a flawless dandelion,
whose skin still remembers ~
the thawing of winter from its glass-cut edges,
and how its rainbow seeds
flew into the egalitarian ends of the ethereal ether...
birthing ballerinas of butterfly glaciers ~
twirling

The Shepherd's Diadem
The torment is relieved!
No more the whip and scorn.
Perfection in reprieve
Of agonizing thorns.
No more shall man transgress,
With whip, or fist or thorns.
His head now fitly dressed:
Announced by sounding horns!
All glory to our Lord
Who for mankind prevailed.
He overcame death’s sword
And all that sin entailed.
Cast off Thy carnal crown
Composed of thorny stems!
Put on what jewels surround:
The Shepherd’s

Mayhem of Diadem Forsaken
Locked behind the gate, a jewel lies hidden.
The wind emits a mutter of love smitten.
A shadow plays a game of hide and seek,
With a tantalizing prod, and a sneak peek
That glints a sparkle from par buried gem.
Amidst the interplay of black and white, lies the mayhem,
Of a memento of love lost, jewel lost, diadem forsaken.

Snowflakes Melting Before the Diadem
"Snowflakes Melting before the Diadem"
Winter is coming
and what then?
the dreams frozen
snowflakes falling
we succomb
tongues out waiting
for manna,
pills swallowed
for the diadem
needles of pine
instead of thorns
bedded,
the sweet sleep
is coming,
slowly it cajoles
swiftly it comes
the folded corners
sheets tucked in
the safety barrs
raised, just so,
the corridors
their watching
starched stations
14 in all,
busy with purpose
soft shoe assassins
monitoring

Primavera Comes
Primavera Comes
Lightly she descends--
her feet move toward us,
over the crest of the Vermont hills.
In her footsteps
spring vernal pools;
in her hair are golden
willow twigs,
tangled goldfinches
with black-barred wings
fluttering.
As she passes,
her breath breathes early violets
and crushed grass, mixed
with notes of woodsmoke and diesel.
She skirts the dusty tractor
tilting down by the brook;

The Diadem of Beauty
A DIADEM OF BEAUTY
The ancient of days,
His words never decay
The shield of Abraham,
Writer of every dream
Arm of the Lord,
Keeper of his words
Heirs of all things,
The beginning and the ending
Desire of all nations,
Anchor of eternal salvation
Father of Glory,
Writer of every story
The lord strong and mighty,
One that inhabited eternity
Possessor of heaven and earth
The key holder of

Diadem
In awe, upon the canyon rim I stand,
Westward looking, entranced by a dying sun,
Who protesting, casts its blood across the sky.
There, beyond its sanguine crimson reach,
Against the blue dark velvet cloak,
A single trembling star pulsates.
A gem placed by God upon the breast of night

Dulcet Diadem
Music uplift my heart
Disperse distress,down cast depart;
Vivaldi on Venetian violin
In concerto,cello and mandolin.
Music enlarge my mind
Reminece and then remind;
In Mahler's opus strong
Adagio,lieder and song.
Music to suit my every mood
In valued secluded solitude;
Satie and Pachebel
Motifs that haunt and indwell.
Music tingling my spine
As emotions re-align;
Choral and slow requiems
In pleasing dulcet diadem.
