Flecks,
cushion cut cosmic rhinestones;
Priceless angles flash,
catching dreams
slow.

Inside the aquarium there were plenty of fish in the sea
dawdling about mouth agape eating and looking at me
While I stood on a step nose against the glass I did see
red orange flecks of beauty, swimming sleek and free

Serenity
like
flecks of gold
strewn on a
magnificently
grandiose canvas
of rich cerulean blues
deep viridian greens
and ultramarines

FLECKS OF GOLD
Klimt flutes,
flecks of gold,
a champagne kiss.
flutes clink,
on special days,
holding stems.
Klimt holds my solid gaze:
“Woman in Gold”
beguiling...
the lover lives on canvas,
ashamed of habitation —
yearning to be reclaimed.
an old woman and a lawyer
bring her back to life —
resuscitate the woman’s aunt.
a war keepsake,
spoils returned —
to the defiant niece.
as I view
the movie rerun...
i recall
the treasured duet
in my curio cabinet
— i peruse
flutes in finery,
strong — not
feckless.
flecks of gold,
attach to silver hands,
forming a bond — they kiss.

White flecks of bright reflect within your eyes
The blue star burn of cosmic beauty's light.
A shroud poured down from high in midnight skies
Enwraps your face with love's caress tonight.
This sight conceived inspires a poet's heart
To kiss the bliss of every word in verse;
Transcendent voices echo pure each part
Of love evolved throughout this universe.
I gaze amazed at all we have expressed
As nerves still serve yet quiver with delight.
Our comfort comes because of love confessed
We pray our days of joy will not take flight.
These words that do awake within my soul
Will weave the way to heal this broken whole.
