beside the rippling stream

blue jay perched up high
in her pretty dogwood tree
blue jay sing a tune
thirty-six... shortlist
twenty threatened with N/A
that leaves four before
a premature end but
I will bear in mind twenty
Only 4 possible n/a's and 2 positive, thank you all for your response. Mick
you are like that story which
i wrote million times
but with no possible ending.

Sadness crying rain
Dark storm clouds internal pain
Why
Does the weather change
Monsoons emotion
The sorrow that's in our skies
Why
Does the weather cry
Blizzards of our pain
Flakes of soft petals presence
When
Does the sun arise
Clouds broken in two
The first ray of hope has come
When
Does it ever stop

Daybreak tells its lies
grey mists meeting in secret
on
MOTION TO ADJOURN
Daybreak’s kiss lingers
cooling touch of coming heat
slow
FADING IN THE SUN
Daybreak stirs life’s soup
blends aromatic nuance
in
SATIATING SCENT
Daybreak orchestrates
aria of growing things
in
SYMPHONY OF SPRING
Daybreak, curtain call
feathered applause echoing
through
SUNRISE BLINKING TREES

Tumble leaves; fall,
golden red and yellow streaks:
a leaf's farthest reach...
Calico clouds, glow:
beauty's limit impeached,
shift and shade as seas...
Sun seasons life's taste,
autumn, encirc'ling in space:
winter's promise; chased...
Sky is burning red
Looks like heaven is on fire….
Clouds like puffs of steam
Sky reaches to earth…
As the red glow emulates
Through fiery trees
Nature at it’s best
Vibrant picture pains the eyes…
Scene like burning hell
penned 20 August 2015
orange light fills sky
summoning day to break.....
a new day begins
Penned July 1st. 2015
burnished golden dreams
hide the ravages of time ...
on desires worn path

Picture one
laying side by side
Lips lost in pure ecstasy
unaware of rain
Picture six
passion raining down
lips gorge on delicious neck
more than water rising
PD kissing in the rain contest
Love is delightful
Defining all emotions
Giving hope to all
Romantic beauty
A song that sings to the heart
Resonates within
Passion projected
Valentines now on the brink
Why only today?

THE STEADFAST LOVER'S QUERY
True, I remain--
Fear sparring Passion--
Which mountain is too steep?
