Long Fragrantly Poems

No stars tonight, yet eyes transcend towards bright moonlight.
Oh Moon, without words, we converse in lone quiet moonlight.

Angst of two hearts apart, shows in somber persona,
spirit fears her vision will fade with benight moonlight.

Untouched unique...

I awaken to the woodland scent 
of a favored fragrant herb.

Its aroma transcends nocturnal bliss
and then softly seeks so gently to kiss
the distant lingerings in my mind.

Of a cherished place where I had laid
embraced warm...

Once upon a time
I was merely prescient
in genes and blood
and air and water
and other ingestions
and digestions
of our ancestors.

Among these were Elders
who may have stopped along the banks
of the Connecticut and Hudson Rivers
to drink from their...

Four legs quiver
like clumsy cabrioles
striking smooth gray rivers
of zig-zag sidewalk barrios
in rhythm with happy shivers
syncopated on a muffled drum
as we talk and stroll

On our way
hand-in-hand
we persuade and pretend
this day away
taunting and cajoling to demand
laughing “hide...

ROHRBACH CAFE

Intimacy.

A place
of shared warmth, an atmosphere of muted shadows and candlelight,
where
emotions, profoundly sincere,
softly glow,
flare,
then wane
until, fully consumed, they are dimmed
and gentled
by intrinsic breezes of serenity.

A cafe
of quiet murmers, hushed revelations
among tables close,
but afar,
where
evening lit...

The chill of night crept in from the Rhizophora mangle - 
A tropical tree that gave me a shade from the perils of crime
I know nothing about,
Then I moved on to a barren area of...

Irene went for her usual morning walk around six;
the August breeze was dry and fragrantly crisp,
one could tell she was injured as her aching hips
made her miss a step as she bit on her weathered...

Colors of Blessed Trefoil, 
Sentience; turn into glitches toil.
Sift unto oblate displacement 
of Times crustal plate hourglass Life+soils.

Arisen from the beginning 
in-end defiance coil.

Herefore Eden-aftertide, aeon trace after aeon 
in, thrill ride chase to make...

Three lying deacons 
swim in a handbag -
and a lone, celibate pastor 
paces longingly bemused.
Michael, the Arc Angel, 
poses silently,
in dusty Gabbana drag,
cursing the lipstick-painted laymen
writhing in rancid attar -
naked 
and intentionally 
unused.

Four wide-eyed boys...

Do you like to see the girl singing
Come with me in the swing
Calling us the happy spring
Seated in the fragrantly blooming
Flowers in the cool morning

The falls sparklingly bubbling
The breeze soothingly cuddling
The rivers gurgling and brimming
The...

We tiptoed on the path covered with moonlight 
The canoe awaited for our swift quiet arrival there
Hanging fragrantly in the moist thick hot night air
The aromas of Night Blooming Jasmine lingered
No persons found within our...

I watched the gentle waves lapping the shore 
And taste the salty breeze from the ocean air 
I saw seagulls flying horizontally without a care, 
Spreading their wings in the calm atmosphere. 

Politics powers reign...

There's an inimical solemnity
dissolving the loveliness
of the last day of spring;
I sought solitude and awareness
from the very beginning,
but this farewell won't depart from me!

Along the the shady and dusty road so solitary,
I pick ripe strawberries...

What do you do
when you're a black cop
at a Back The Blue protest
with a Black Lives Matter
counter-protest
in front of you,
to left and right,
and possibly pursuing your rear
and career?

Which direction
does your identity choose,
if not to feel...

Driving down a dirt road one day
I noticed an old home sitting alone
and laying to waste.

I stopped at the front of the old place
and noticed the old home had a worn
but once loved look, upon...

"Their Queen Pheromones"

Nectar 
attracts 

foraging 
honey bees
with components 
of their 
Queen Pheromones

the butterflies beckon
their inner wasps
to sup on clover
four leafed, beds of velvet
green virgins unseen

herein slumbers
far too gone 
to lie in wait
love expells 
from his...

Raspberry Kisses


Silent kisses throughout the air.
Just like the wild raspberry affair. 


Nowhere to know how,
Can they be found!
Now they are here,
Only to me you appear, 
Fragrantly simple and sweet,
From your head to your feet,

Melts-in-your-mouth, easy...

hidden behind the pale white summer flowers,

up in that old basswood tree out back

Splish splash splish

smells of freshly...

(Etheree 1)
Red
falling
petals of
sweet, scented hues
gently dripping, long,
slim green and yellow leaf
with softly painted flowers
her amazing beauty glowing
with devilish intrigue and wonder,
stunning, everlasting and infinite

(Etheree 2)
They call her, Ginger, with bright hair ablaze
around her beautiful neck...

The Last of the Wine

When the last of the wine
has been poured, red and dry,
and the gold wings of eagles,
burnished by time, dismount the sky.

When the velvet hush of eventide
conquers the ebbing splendor of day
and...

Frequently, fragrantly followeth I
Fickle and fallow and famously shy
New love is true love and true love is known
Not by the seed but the need to be grown

Fortune may function to fashion your fate
Finding the future...

Tulips and lilies never emitted their scent
so fragrantly and exhilarating...
by the lake of the descendent moon,that
I intensively sense the affable mystery of the evening!

Remote breezes,unforeseen and redolent,do
capriciuosly caress the brilliant surface
of the silvery lake,softened by...

Leeds, we have a strong City,
Open the gates once more,
For the poor and the needy 
And the sting of death we shall devour.
 
Pour out a prayer unto the heaven
Let Grace expand all our borders.

Friendly embraces link two hearts,
Delicately delighting free wills threshold.

Genteelly accepting goodwill, like gold.

Loves profoundly; no limits transgressed.
Brightens reality; removes fears and lusts.
Drips with honey; two hearts thrive,...
