Let me give her roses

Let me give her solace
for my words
of treason.
Let the flowering of love
outlast a winter
season.
Let me...

Distances

There is a small cleanness about her,
as though she has always just been washed,
and there is a dull obedience to convention
in her accommodating slenderness
as she feints at her salad.

A MINISTER RETIRES :

I arise as infant Phoenix
from Akasha ashes
counterparts frozen
with foibles intact
a still Arctic of death

Very Fine Imagery
I was touring the lovely countryside, once on a golden Saturday,
Lost within the raptures, of languid summertime's scenic display.
And I came into the vicinity, of a beautiful historic old home,
So being curious and interested, inside...

Search For the Hidden Spark
The old man stood;elbows resting on the old stone wall
Wistfully he gazed over the snow laden field,
Watching the sheep nibble on bales of hay,
He thought back remembering his working day.
In his leather like work hardened...

A Bittersweet Experience
I was in my backyard sunning, while lost in warm daydreams,
Enjoying red raspberries, while listening to the birds sing.

Remnants of a Saturday Night
Sunday morning early, five a.m to be
precise, my mind awakes, then gently succours
