WHITE LACE AND PROMISES

WHITE LACE AND PROMISES*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
leaden skies speak of rain
raw winds whistle through branches ~
plum trees wear white bridal lace
promises

*Note: “White lace and promises” are words from a Carpenter’s song, “We’ve Only Just Begun.” 

White Lace Cascades

White lace cascades,
string beads of light
fall from a quiet sky.

There’s a soulful eye-gaze—
not quite seen,
but deeply felt—
as if the night itself is watching,
studying the stars,
navigating galaxies of hope
with nothing but longing for a compass.

Turned out.
Opened up.
Like a Christmas present—
torn,
but radiant.

Laughter and freckles
etched into knowing.
The past,
just a sigh in the wind.
The future—not yet arrived.
It is now.
And

Best by Dawn

Antique ceiling tiles were shaking loose
I had a birds eye view of what would
be normal in this type of barn
the science of love is in
ones willingness to be loved
in such willingness one
includes their needs wants and
reputation
not wanting to be involved due
to association to others
might be enough
to reduce the feelings
and dissolve a relationship..
In poreparation for love

Shoe Lace

Looking down at the object in her lap,
A single shoe with intertwined laces.
Each time she laced a pattern,
She would look down
Because it seemed so wrong to her.
But the more she laced,
The more she continued,
She started seeing the vision
Of a perfectly laced shoe.
It finished, produced,
Sat on her thighs,
Beneath her eyes.
And the phrase that came to her

Purple Dreams In Other Realms

Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see 
dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace,     
she shone like the midnight sun; 
I must confess, she looked rather whimsical  
sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore!
As I sat upon

In the aether where stars weave lace from silver threads and sighs

In the aether where stars weave lace from silver threads and sighs,
I see love dripping like a rain of light over divine gardens,
And my soul, a traveler among constellations of longing and unspoken whispers,
Floats like a cosmic butterfly through galaxies of hidden feelings.
Chestnut trees unfold their green palms to the sky that drips tears of

Ghost Lace

The dead dance in our midnight dreams
then kiss our soul at rising light of sun beams

The soft heart of yesterday still firmly beats
as we recollect their images on memory streets

Now we are the breathing book of the dead
since our choices are their chapters to be read

How do we acquire letters from ghostly streams
when their spiritual

Winter Lace

A bitter cold
delivers extreme frosty
gales howling incessantly 
jesters knock incessantly 
mother nature opaque 
performance quivers
regal snowflakes 
twinkling underneath 
veils wooden 
xylophones yielding zenith

Antique lace

Antique lace
plastic face
so unnatural
trying to laugh
whilst in a difficult place
you cant change me
in something im not
wild dancing on the green vetch
secure in remoteness
as the world rises and falls
chilled as a crystal belfry
of a glazen star

The Flaming Garter

Like the king of Cordoba’s treasury
Reflected in a robber’s eye
A laden dish of memory
Spills into the summer night

From a moving carriage window
A flaming garter flies
With whoops and calls
And high-pitched trills
The vehicle turns aside

Then flames appear at the curtains
And smoke pours out the doors
As the party falls out laughing
Onto the meadow floor

The air is rich with

love lace

letters linger light
linking lightening languages 
liquid listening

Lace Hearts

Tucked in a keepsake box,  
A lace linen napkin 
Holds in its gentle fold,  
A tiny stick.
 
I recall the moment 
My love for you emerged,  
In the silent language of 
Two little lines.

~

Through the nursery window,  
The white lace curtains swayed 
With every little breath  
Of gentle breeze.

They danced
