Long Feldspar Poems

Silent lake secrets of a summer’s evening
Beyond meadow’s grasses, rustled in bits of expectation
Light sparkle of reflected diamonds dance on shimmery pond 
Cool clear waters delighting the heart of Sister Raccoon and Brother Opossum

Devoted forest...

Despite the pulsing pirouette of urban thresholds,
coruscating catalyst amid detachment,
of golden spoke carousel magnetism,
circle-shape swivel platform roundabout,
that spreads incipient wish fulfilment caper,
as townscape dweller devotee who revels,
in gargantuan silver tinged mineral rush,
of prodigious scoop simolean...

Impossible mission to pinpoint present
such fleeting moment instantaneously spent
according to yours truly i.e. this gent
mind boggled, intrigued, stymied...
courtesy unseen minute
(mine hoot, minoot, my newt...) agent

provocateur stealing every precious second,
whether or not satisfactorily spent
time thief absconds...

The black-as-widow’s-weeds night of endless stars 
was so cold...
cruel as temperature 
plunged its frigid fingers feeling through my being
fondling my heart and soul without mercy
molesting me - taunting my will to live
and just when I...

amethyst, amber, agate, aquamarine
barite, bauxite, beryl, soon seen
carnelian, chryophrase, cool citrine
diamond, dolomite, delivered by Dean

Emerald, epidite, elusive by far
Flourite flowing next to Feldspar,
Gemstone hit parade, setting the bar
Hematite holds us hostage, said Mar.

Isis calcite showing...

Rocks appease me like nothing else can. Best of all, they are cheap, all over the place and the best price.
A born die-hard rock enthusiast, I love hard ones, smooth ones, speckled ones, and crumbly...

tryst of the moon and the stars
         - oh how far
off, when the greed of war
spoils with feldspar.

eruptions of not the loins

That little girl, Toula, in third
grade stood,
Tears falling down her red face.
Because she had only won bronze 
and third place.
Ah, what a disgrace!

Older Toula today, still looks at it 
with chagrin.
Though decades have passed,
that very same...

It's DNA
 a stream of genes and chromosomes in feldspar
 that dictate whose children we become and are,
who we look like
 the color of our eyes and hair architecture
 our stature, physique and bone structure;

Celestial chandeliers, strung aloft the Milky Way
Aligning as constellations, invisible by light of day
Torches burning, that the sun prevents us to behold

Earth's luminaries ignite as dusk begins to unfold
Yielding glitter more lustrous than flecks of...

We have traveled to thirty-seven states, the youngster told me.
He is only eight, so this is quite the accomplishment.
I collect one rock from each state, want to see them?
His mother rolls her eyes, as if...

This vivid pink sky does not often visit Nebraska in December
It is a rare wolf moon, few recognize the implied significance
The sage soothsayer knows it is her opportunity
She is closer to the veil tonight than...

Collecting rocks on a summer’s day, I marveled at the sparkles I see as I turn them over. The sun and I are smiling at the glitzy glamor we notice.  I pick them out...

Rock forms reigning in the sea
Cast semiprecious imprints
As beach stones bathe and gleam.

Feldspar glitter glows gently
Over mica crystalline
As rock forms reign in the sea.

Pebbles play in the sea
Leave sand-filled footprints
As beach stones bathe and gleam.

Stones...

Bright stars shine in night skies
Like bangles, baubles and beads
Puts a twinkle in every girl's eyes
Like a gift of fine jewelry

A pair of sun stone earrings
Presented to the daughter I love
Some expensive fatherly bling
The price...

I surfed upon the silver tides,
a moss skin vortex cross point
to my quest but no one knew.
I roamed the moonstone forest with my inner light as map but no one spotted me except an antsy...

Starlight Escape

With a sparkling gown and on my unicorn,
I swiftly fly.
Loftier and loftier into God's most holy sky.
These auburn tresses flying wildly free,
in the upper atmosphere,
Chips of stars, nestling ever so tenderly there.

Going to meet...

Serendipity, pollywog, persnickety, lemon, hog and peach
For these words I like to use I will give you six cents each.
Onward and upward, supercalifragelisticalidocious I like too.
Feldspar, polka dot, sapphire, nonsensical, jubilation to name a few.

Red Slime: must you disguise your worth
aren't you treasure

Aren't you tresure
that a torch should solitify

aren't as much tresure as gold itself
nitrate and phosfate

So charming, so appealing to so many?
Virtuous,compassionate and with a

Willing to give you a hand with any

Sensitive to a fault, yes, like you!

Who is this glorious person of whom
I so...
