Long Lighter than air Poems

The Guardian
		Melodic lullabies echo	
		As heart strings strum secret chords
		As transcendental images appear
		Stargazers are lost for words
		Kaleidoscopic Illuminations
		Paint the sky in optimistic light
		Hope descends in serene silence
		Floating through shadows of the night
		Dancing spirits move to dulcet...

I see her, ecstatic under thundering skies, red flashed lightning
Long hair static, arms spread wide,
savoured downpour, dance.... exuberant

As if day becomes night, a crimson moon, tinted stars, painted clouds
Peering down, eclipsing fears and weaving enchantment
Her...

They clipped my wings, yet I still fly
Thrown off a cliff to chase a lie
Now I fall through the clouds
A broken bird left to die

A single wish to give me strength
My salvation is bittersweet
Its form...

..then science would have done it.

There would be a formula, an equation, Einstein would have published a paper.. but there is no measure. 
Love is too fine, too vast, too varied,...

On either side
Of a crowded family dinner table 
There are signs of ambition and resentment
Success and failure
Marked by those who pass
The plate
And those who only take.

A lighter than air blimp 
Floated 
Lazy circles 
High above...

This morning you threatened to leave me again,
At least that was the message I heard,
Dragged me out of the sunlight and into your den,
Sun-bleached bones now, at one with the herd.

A heart that is open...

Recalled sounds take you back to an old land
to a home you no longer need.
Like the soft snuffle of hedgehogs on the lawn
on a summer evening.
Here there are larger less harmless spiny beasts,
here there are...

“In this life there’s been heartache and pain”
How could I begin to find love again
Desperado walking a tightrope
I looked down and Daniel gave me hope
 
“The first time ever I saw your face”
Cold heart melted,...

("Reflections", 2023, original encaustic)

Acquiring the Taste

What is it that makes us whole?
Somewhere deep within
Is the quiet place
Of peace and serenity
A secret healing garden
That has open doors for us all.

I find myself floating. How did I get here?
Is this the sea? An ocean? A lake? Or just in a swimming pool?
My hands are submerged my eyes are closed the feeling engulfs me.

It is said that she only paints with primary colors.

Red for the thin crimson blood that pours carelessly out of her wounded thoughts. Thoughts
she never cares to express.

Blue for the gracious sky. Open and excepting,...

  diamond fire reflecting the sun, dancing in the air
in a million drops of exploding starlight from...

I imagine Nature as a token of love;
A warm blanket wrapped 'round me, a gift from above.
I am lifted with the sunrise in dawn's mauve light,
And soar with the eagle in his morning flight.

If the truth be told
do Fibonacci patterns puzzle
  like the sunflower seeds stumble
   or tiny fronds of ferns spiral

...... Here I fly ....
Do you  know why
Have no reason to stay
Going home today
Lighter than air
Not a care
Cause I dare
Yesterday lies behind
Tomorrow is out of mind
What lies ahead
The love I will be fed
Flying foward
Ever...

tiny outfits of love for her soon to be child.
With her soft braided hair and loose, faded clothes
Daphne sung lullabies, then stared off for awhile.

When her due date came, we...

unless you are balloon or a feather,
speedy, especially if you are drugged up on painkillers

then gravity is faster than a classic corvette

In the stillness of the night
Not a whisper anywhere
There came down a feather
So much lighter than air

In the stardust of darkness
The light from the moon
My hand reaches out
It’s never too soon

The contact is made there
