Long Borning Poems

Summer Place

A song crept into my soul today riding on the summer wind
Then peeked into my summer place closed for many seasons -
Windows shuttered standing on a grassy knoll
Whitewashed in the morning melody at the...

Dream Weaver

The weaver sits before the threshold of the daystar  
Upon a carpet dyed in ebony spread across an alabaster porch, 
Hidden by a cape of ivory shimmers,
In between twilight’s caress and the palest...

Gypsies

Across a misty channel
Sensor fingers
Stretch
Through foggy, silent waves
Where two souls embrace
In expeditions of speechless discovery
Two minds stand naked,
Face to face,
With wordless words
Each knowing the inner rhyme 
Of another soul –
Intimate outside skin and limbs.

Across the...

Covenant

Barren, brown and dust,
The vast horizon line pushes on a meandering sky 
Pulling away from desert’s still and lifeless form
Where life itself only dreams above this land devoid
Of earth’s abundant blessing,
Cheated of the ample bounty...

Tribute

Bright star, ascendant,
Now too quickly gone,
Light becoming -
Bright as transparent rainbow colors
Made of sun and storm
Lingering on the sky 
With not one color unseen,
Full spectrum complete
Of joys, of tears, of hope -
Abiding memory
Of child becoming...

Dream Pilgrim 

Slipping past the threshold of the daystar in velvet vesper hues
My weary pilgrim heart sheds the restraints 
Of pale dawn’s blush and twilight’s silver dawning darkness dyed in ebony 
To gather starlit threads...

Deep within the highland mists, white heather, bright adorning,
     I last beheld those flaring eyes, though tender as the borning.

I'd gone a-hiking, early snow, 'midst headland slopes and fells  -

Bilocation – 2-11-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bilocation

Love
Slips through labyrinths of tangled spirits
 Complexities and conundrums of misdirection
Released by prophecy,
Like clairvoyant fingers of misty sunshine
 in two planes
  sharing one minute.

Love reaches beyond boundaries of fluttering flesh -
A bridge...

* This is a form I created called “Cinqopet” - I hope you enjoy it. *

oh why do you yet haunt me so?
your ghosts will never let me go

Metamorphosis

I woke up this morning
With a feeling of dread;
I felt I was a-borning,
Where I'd be better if dead!

I woke up to religion,
My brother was some other,
I belonged to a region,
All issues were my bother.

What was...

Summer Dies
By Rick Rucker

I used to always curse my Fate,
To live through the two seasons that I hate,

Fall and Winter, my accursed foes,
I am thoroughly frozen, head to toes,

Summer dies, Fall is a-borning,
Here I lie,...

This story began
as a truly mystic,
as an intercontinental
super cups championship by football,
but there are all plays gaming
in the arena of our hearts
and where final prize 
more precious and desirable
than even titles 
of Zidan.Maradona and Sezario....

Komorebi 11-8-23

Komorebi

Sunlight dashes through boughs adorned
In autumn’s scent of red orange crimson
Tossing diamonds of daybreak from their limbs
Into the borning air of dawn
To litter the forest floor in clutter of crystal auroras	
Playing hide and seek...

Pick a Title – Esperance 8-17-23

Esperance

Like the whisper of a dream
Along the backroads of desire
Unfazed and unaffected by the face of facts
Borning assurance murmurs
In harmony with the Morning Star’s vision
Wispy reveries of intentional surety
And random...

Self-Existent Light

Beyond the sight of imagination,
 Invisible of alpha and omega,
Unseen your non-existent borning daystar 
Glory and splendor collide,
 Pure sinew of sublimity
  Source of ceaseless heartbeats
Flame without source,
Robed in resplendence.

No vacuum!
 No space...

Cul-de-Sac 

Quick steps slow to hesitate
The sudden curve of a straight white line
Into the mists of detour
 Lined with haunting facades
  Of blurred addresses
   And faded street signs
Where echoes of curiosity bluster...

Sarah ~ Princess

Sarah, princess,
A promise wakes your mornings,
From your cradle
You look into the sunlight –
Eyes filled with wonder
And all the hope of dawn -
For you rejoice
In every color of the rainbow,
The covenant,
Shining through each storm...

Weave

Sweet slumber's singing loom
Weave
A cloth of wishes gathered from the stars
From the garden hues of the Daystar

Weave
A midnight mantle
In translucent silken patterns
Thread gathered from the heart's silent desires
In a mystic scheme,
A portrait of the emerging...

Such lovely things are part of spring,
Each greening, borning, blooming thing.
A pansy face, a new made nest,
In spring God sends his very best.

How can one see and yet not know,
It's God who makes the springtime...

My favorite things are part of Spring,
Each greening, borning, blooming thing.
A pansy face, a new made nest,
In spring God sends his very best.

The loveliest things that I could know
Are sent to me in springtime show.
