Long Chroma Poems

In glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon hunger;
their dewy eyes blurred by the sawdust of stardust

pseudo-princess-pleasure-seekers

Hired first as your band's assistant
Adonis with bonus warmest manner
Smile left me gooey, I couldn't resist it
Fluent guitar fingers sparked my enamour

Liasing with music gurus was realms apart
From routine of home, single Mom of two

Blue In Centerstage
Fondly, instants our measure of blue ... a boost or flat bring on,
Promptly, sea and sky are limelight ... point of view as quite concise,
Nonchalantly, unconcern and clamminess ......

Mum has prepared an avacado jam,

a stoll dyed in artichoke green is on my shoulder,
gala time with friends in green,we hang around in green,
Myrtle plants rejoice..Yeah! festive...

Hot the lost lovers rage 
Walk within pantheons of gilded brigades
The passions roar as idolized lost sages
Of some immense meaning 
In supernatural things 
Without rhythms or reasons
Of a fathomless being 
Walking destiny’s configured trails

The streaming...

Vibrant chroma dots the mountains and valleys;
we hike the Red River gorge, taking in it’s
majestic pigmentation; leaves of October
crunch beneath booted feet.

We take our journey with care, as the cliffs
can be deadly in an instant;...

I am not an angel, I know; I am a frail being.
Feeble, frangible, brittle, and breakable; self-fleeing
Like a glass or like a bone china vessel, breakable
Weakness has taken hold of me with strength unshakable
A tinge...

Faded eyes invite imbedded memories,
Half hidden behind a worn visage
Where dreams still dance to celebrate a milestone,
Entwined in lost days of once up a time times,
Layered serene moments of...

He usually dreams in color, rarely black & white.
The spectrum he imagines is neither huge nor slight.
The microcosm of his dream is painted by many hues
Not just shades and chroma, but with vivid, lively tunes.

The Language of Blue

Sinking into the lyrical language of blue
Prime layers of still solitude speak
 With muted voices
  In sapphire soprano rhapsodies,
Lines of bass blushes, electric flecks of neon fire.

Hear in dusky blue’s modal...

after sunrise and sunset and flamingoes

after prodigy, prodigal and guitar strings
      and chatter. after all what matters

A single orange leaf
twists and turns 'bove vibrant vales -
espying a shadowed glimpse
of nature's palette as she sails.
A variegated dreamer
drifts beyond a wooded realm -
'tween doughty boughs of balsa
floating o’er oak and elm.

She glides along...

Yesterday cliche of a colored rainbow.
The archaic arc is a banal kitsch, too low.
Poets.... they don't stop using it although.
It's just optical science....no hologram show.

The hackneyed story... 'sun meets rain'.
The 'love' seen for years... again...

Black, be not white, though some have shined thee 
Mighty and colorful, for thou art not hue; 
For those whom thou painted thou dost know,

Rain falls onto the concrete blissfully
Showering with playfulness in the air
Sending fragrance about quite wistfully
Having a life of delight everywhere

Showering with playfulness in the air
Piecing as one harmony with a sigh

Whispy clouds blown by the wind
Stretched out across eastern sky
Colors changing from red to sand
Backdrop for buzzards soaring high

Letting the breeze lift enjoy day
Let my spirit soar on the wind

Ecstatic light plays about
gasses and pigmentation like
kittens learning to wrestle.

values lend their whispers 
to saturation in chromatic
celebration.

Purity of intensity
arises to greet the nimbus
and an aurora dances to nature’s tune.

Elation of incandescence
irradiates the eye
with a plethora...
