a leonine moment

A Leonine Moment (2003)

Yellow lion teeth like petals of love
I picked the green savannah grass,
It had just stopped raining and pearls,
as a glass bead around a cub's neck,
glinted in the sun that had been hiding
behind rain pregnant clouds, thunder
and lightning; far away, I heard
A lion's roar, inconsolable was its loss.

(Cabin Sunset, summer 2025)

The Heat of the Moment

Settling into our new mountain cabin,
Dogs and humans equally overheated
In the shadeless August afternoon,
The only way to be is naked.

Stuff strewn around 
Bed to one side, kitchen the other,
Camp chairs with panting dogs 
On an old Persian rug in-between.

Cabin with unfinished interior
Waits for insulation, paneling and flooring,
But in

A moment



Drenched in rains 
The girl returns home 
White and black 
Sandals are wet too
Pushes back the 
wooden shutters 
of the closed window 
From the box of oxygen 
Releases a pink breath 
Mild sound falls 
on the leaves _
Smiling Gardenia 

Leaving the photo 
for the album 
The time vanishes 
into the inexplicable
grey mist

Premium MemberEvery moment counts

along life's journey 
simple joys are the gems 
to be stockpiled and amassed

opportunities are simply
bits of freedom to blossom
into time well savoured

Journey on for the Moment

  
if I could describe your soul it would be 
clear mirror shattering forevermore 
where pieces are jigsaw puzzles 
not fitting, falling under oak table  
stuck on persian carpet existing 
upside down on another planet
 
soul shadows broken spiderwebs 
hanging on ceilings not existing
another calls himself father holding
elbow skin blowing in a wind

Protesting The Moment

Protesting The Moment

Illuminating the night by the light of a bonfire 
Captivating the insight before one’s mind begins to tire 
Emigrating out of fright as one’s own government becomes a liar 
Abdicating all your rights as they burn your life upon the pyre 

Procession of a line for food that western lives refuse to see
Intercession

For a moment

For a moment I took pleasure
On the fact that you existed
You were there
Silent
Withdrawn
But wise
Oh so wise

I felt I could talk to you
As if I talked to the moon
And God you could understand.

Premium MemberHere for the Moment

Janice Avery loved deep green nature; like cherry sunset owls, gawping.
She dwelt with her parents and Sissy, when old, golden days were walking.

They lived out in the hilly country, where orangeish stars could be seen;
And summer seemed to last forever, for days held a predominate sheen.

Noons were filled with happiness laughter, that foreshadowed pink moon.

Passing Through The Moment

Passing Through The Moment 

Aesthetic communion for an artist in a ghetto
Prosthetic student union that is only there for the power show 
Anaesthetic ex-communion for a doctor who does not want to go 
Prophetic graceful union of the ones who seem to always know 

Consummate reliance on another person for your relief 
Don’t abdicate defiance

Never still the mind of God.' continual motion
Growth of purpose' rythem of love, making..'

Errosion of cliffs.' Waves upon oceons work
To shift..Grit in oyster, kernel growth.' Denotes
Wisdom and tears..Indeed; my oath.! Wind that moves

A range.. Snail or Eagle slow or fleet Earth

Any given moment, any given time

grief is a complicated feeling; it doesn’t always hold the 
loss of something. But in some cases, in my case, it’s the quiet ache of dread, the feeling that encapsulates quiet certainty of impending loss, something that means more to you than anything, that in the here and now, is still with you.
Yes, you may

Premium MemberMoment No 1 Point Five

A smile can change everything
And everything has worn the same outfit since Adam and Eve started sewing designer fig leaves 
Which leads me to the conclusion…No, you’re not my person but for 3 seconds it felt a 10-year anniversary
A moment framed in my better day’s gallery 
Knowing we were both thinking something similar means everything

Premium MemberIn a moment suspended between the silent beats of time and infinity

In a moment suspended between the silent beats of time and infinity,
The miracle of love settled like a mist, almost untouchable, yet so tangible,
It was better than any dream drawn on the sky of a starless night,
It was like a precious object you could lift, gaze at, and keep in memory,
We found ourselves on the

Premium MemberA Perfect Moment, Created By Joe And Mystic

Never had I heard a flutter so clear! 
nor more distinct than the settle of midnight wings; 
                    Soft gray wings spreading, fanning  
coming to gentle fold,  
soon to follow, a nightingale's song,
