Long Bronzing Poems

Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys
Music to fractious emotions on greasy dance floors
Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships

Angst of redundancy seethes from within as lava
Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence
Ardour suffocated...

Apparitions of buried memories exhumed with rash eulogies
Arouse dried up tears that ever fail to cleanse the robe of guilt
Arraigning again before the partial jury of tormenting thoughts

Kaleidoscopic filial relationships hypnotize the mind to dumbness
Kamikaze...

This is brown…umbre,
It is shadow and that which you think you see there, 
It is a mixture of all colors, and as such, it includes and underlies everything,
It is ancient, born...

An Arm’s Length Dream

Sometimes, frivolous dreams of turquoise waters and white beaches
Swaying palms amidst sea grape borders, bronzing sun,
warming my pale white skin. I would sip lemonade, soothe my body in laziness,
my mind in boredom....

We met, a brief moment in time, a passing encounter, a long goodbye.  From the beginning it seemed only goodbye, missing each moment before it passed, longing for time,  Tick, Tick, Tick, the...

Sunless days under artic charred skies

frozen rain pelting, making me cry

harsh north winds, chill to the bone

why do I even call this place home?

Dreams of paradise have begun

Endless sunsets over clear cobalt seas

Pure white sands...

The holly berries reveal 
 a bronzing tint of orange
 on their journey to becoming 
      deep, dark, blood reds.
Soon the three bonded trees 
 will glow in vibrant color

My babies loved the cats,

through the ages of the naps,

in the pages,

in the clasp,

on the floor,

atop a mat,

I pull it out and flip a bat-
let a lover free the band,
so I may rebuttal and unleash...

Silhouette of trees dressed in chiffon prints
Oaks, pines, maples tossing  their hair
I trail along their rumba curve
way down to where glazed bushes nestle.
Above roasted sail of Laguna River
crossing a moat...today, foliage begins to seethe

Silhouette of trees dressed in chiffon prints
Oaks, pines, maples flushing their hair
I trail along their rumba curve
Way down to where young bushes nestle
Above gentle sail of Charles River 
crossing a moat...slowly, foliage begins to drop...

It disappeared from sky while locked inside
  No squinting back at light
No one longs for more,

The sun fills me with glory and my tank is refreshed, right down to my toes it sinks its vitamins deep, I have often laid and lazily fallen asleep, careful those rays are harshly blessed....

I am the ocean waves
An unsteady rhythm
Swells of overwhelming anxiety
Never knowing just when to crash
But when I do
You’ll know

But

I am also the salty tide 
Pulling the people in my life close
But then pushing them away
To...

The monitors above her head
would flicker light around.

The registers with type print on
would say 'no price was found'.

And Kathy stood behind the cash-
a beakon crowned with cap

to wish the people WELCOME.
A smile with-out crap.

A leopard...

Detailing leaves of golden spiff 
I lean up close to take a whiff 
of turmeric colored leaves sublime 
and skies of ruby reds sweet wine 
Engaged upon the breeze my touch  
awaits the pinnacle's...

old things look different in the light of latter years.
latent appeal of patina, driven by kinetic days and nights.
bronzing of biblical bravery with no forensic fears.
the lilting loveliness of velveteen rabbit and fairy tales.

Beaming sun upon my back
Establish my summer days
A beach, my boys, a blanket, and
Cold drinks, as I soak my rays
Hoping to darken my tan

Bronzing as the babies play
Lotioned head-to-toes
Applied Aveeno Baby, even to their nose
No...

A pple pickers gaily riding in wagons, sipping cider along the way, headed for orchards, on a crisp, clear sunny day.

U mbrellas turned inside out when wily north winds blow, and sheets of rain, without...

Leafy meadow
He lies her down
Defrocked from
Her summer gown
 
Bodies bronzing
In the blazing sun
Natures wanting
Scents will run
 
Exploration
As their hands caress
He gentles down
On her body, impress
 
She welcomes her love
Through her gates of bliss
In this place...

This moment of Rose and her
 -- sun soaked seconds dispelling 

Careful shades,
Reticence

Til the clouds breathe
Warm breaths

Against the blue void

This of rose – her:
Aching caresses of green and brown

Within the 
thaw 

of days, ice routines
running...

Behold the brightly decorated leaves
Emblazoned through the hills in splendid views,
And carpeting the earth in bronzing sheaves;
Unveiled in scarlet, amber, golden hues.
The dancing leaves waltz blithely on the trees.
In scattered troupes they flutter to and...

Summer sky is smiling my way.
Clouds are blushing pink hues today.
Wind whistling, passes me by.
Sun kissing me; skin bronzing high.

Watermelon smiles, beaming seeds.
Lemonade mild, ice cubes in need.
Strawberry lovers, under trees.
Summer sky is smiling my...

Finally the chill of spring is gone
alone comes summers warmth
ray of sunshine 
beating down on my face
bronzing my tired and weary cheeks
hiding all the signs of pain and grief
held for the past year
summers comfort nestles...
