Premium Member Spring Sonata


For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. - J. R. R. Tolkien

Stunning light reflects the music,
Softly playing in hues of beautiful,
Dreamy buds, inspired by the sun,
Whisper hope in gentle creams,
Fragile pink and blushing mauves,
Delicate peach and pale lilac – peace…

Dazzling shadows, vibrant scarlet,
Glittering jewels of sapphire, luminous
As the pearly white that soothes,
Reflecting the songs of a quiet twilight,
As the leafy silence breaths hope
Through the spring’s glowing blooms.

Climbing, gliding, soaring over windy seas
Beyond the waves, through the morning’s breeze,
Perfect wings, sail gracefully…
Reminding each one that nature has her life,
With raspberry blessings, in quiet dreams,
Her heart melts the moments that foretell of spring.

Rich tints of laughter, silence the moon,
Reassuring the risktaker, blessing the truths
That aspire to bless us with rhythms,
From a season of purity, glowing with life,
Forever trembling and remembering
Easter, His sacrifice…

As the Spring embraces everyone who agrees
Despite the winter’s muteness,
There is the promise, the belief – that can see…
Beyond the doubts, beyond every fear,
Faith that bleeds joy into those who believe,
As Spring erases the past with its lively melody –

A melody of satisfaction for those who can see…
Spring’s enchantment in the showers, the trees, the message
Of a love that this season seems to impart –
The message of hope that Spring brings to hearts,
Who listen to the lyrics of a light falling through the quiet,
The lyrics found inside the soul who Spring has stirred…
With its unending blessings of pure sweet love.


Premium Member Springtime In the Garden of the Gods

High above in the pristine Colorado sky a majestic eagle wheeled.
'Neath its graceful wings the grandeur of The Garden Of The Gods was revealed!
Awakening flowers nodded to their neighbors prodded by a gentle breeze.
The glorious morning was rife with the soothing drone of honeybees!

The pleasing fragrance of lilac blossoms wafted throughout the park,
And in a nearby stand of aspen trees was heard the trill of a lark.
In a copse across the vale I glimpsed a doe and her newborn fawn.
The resurrection of spring was God's gift to me on this wondrous dawn!

Colorado spruce that a short while ago with garlands of snow were spread,
Now hosted frisky squirrels, gentle doves and rowdy blue jays instead!
A beautiful vixen and her kits peered at me from the seclusion of their lair.
Ah!  All of this and fresh mountain air!  I'm as rich as a billionaire!

The sunshine brightens the crimson hue of the ancient rock formations.
The Garden Of The Gods was an Indian rendezvous for many generations.
Perched atop one formation is seen a couple of passionate mammals.
With a little imagination you can envision a pair of kissing camels!

Yonder gleams America's Mountain, Pikes Peak, in the rising sun.
Rills and rivulets of melting snow from its summit have begun,
To rush down the mountainside to hasten the rebirth of spring!
You are welcome spring!  What joy and beauty to God's earth you bring!

Tenderronies

The dusk slips down in lilac swells,
And I am caught in dreams again—
Of girls with velvet, painted eyes,
Their lashes dipped in midnight rain.

Their lips are full, like fruit at dusk,
So ripe the moon forgets to rise,
And every breath a muted hymn
That trembles through the tender skies.

I ache to touch their tilted chins,
To feel the hush where longing grows,
The place where silence wears perfume,
And every pulse of wonder knows.

They press against the world too sweet—
Too soft for thorns, too quick to bruise.
Yet still they bloom with pointed grace,
Like lilacs pierced by morning’s shoes.
O God, the ache that beauty leaves.

Premium Member The Seventh Seascape


O souls of the Island, 
I have silently 
heard through 
tropical torrents 
and surpassed 
a million miles 
of the milky seas, 
away from 
mint-marine 
silhouettes of my
utopian wonderland, 
as strawberry 
ripples and 
coconut-scented 
musings called 
upon my 
flamboyant spirit, 
to explore those
ebony-emeralds 
of universe and 
envelop my hope in 
creamy pink shells. 

I have soaked in 
sepia impressions, 
ebbing as 
crepe currents 
on splitting shores 
and windsurfed 
through the
hibiscus rays 
of life by forbidding 
heartache hymns 
of yesteryears, 
from lurking in 
jewelled hours 
of today 
and built a 
kryptonite kayak 
to sail in the 
turquoise times 
of tomorrow.
For, now I know 
that the 
opalescent ocean 
has chosen me, 
to return the
riveting spirit 
of sage-rufescent 
rivulets back to 
the 'Heart of 
Humanity's Cosmos', 
shaped in 
soft serenades 
of seraphim. 

When the 
whispers of a 
mauve french-rose, 
blooming within, 
will uncurl their 
farthest wish 
in silken twinkles, 
my eyes will always 
remember these 
watercolor heights 
splashing crayon dusks 
and revealing 
silver moon truths, 
for there's more 
beyond the 
neon networks 
of syzygy pearl skies 
and chestnut reefs, 
yearning to be 
cherished by the
blonde alchemy of love. 

So, I abandon 
those sooty 
regrets that snorkel 
with their fragile fins in 
kohl-lily gulfs
and observe these
constellations 
of intuitions, formed 
by the star-kissed 
manta rays and 
sketch sagacious 
saudades laced 
with hope, as a 
halo around the 
lilac Pole Star. 

In this mortal 
seascape of 
the seventh heaven, 
every orphan 
of darkness
shimmers as 
the beacon 
of lustrous 
sugar-scintilla that 
shapes this world, 
in ivory-smitten 
spheres of 
magically 
diaphanous helix, 
waltzing in whispers 
of wind and water. 
Every lava-skinned, 
feminine flame 
of doleful daffodils 
was once a glittered 
cherry-red gardenia, 
laced with 
cardinal buds, 
who nurtured 
velvet seeds 
in the womb of 
celeste compassion 
and edenic empathy. 

And like myself, 
every sea-maiden of
sequined lush ruminations, 
crowned with 
purple plumerias, 
is a whimsical wayfinder, 
wishing for ~
white bells of serenity 
and blue-star petals of peace.

Premium Member Violet Grape Purple Envelope

                                                        Violet Grape Purple Envelope

                                                       Violet grape, fleshy and sweet,
                                            Packed with juice, sweetened by fall`s heat,
                                                   On every tongue, a luncheon treat,
                                                      Without any doubt or conceit;

                                                  Purple envelope, thin and square,
                                                     A supple secret seated there,
                                             Address scribbled by well-known pen
                                                      Awaits a tale over to hand.

                                              The grape's juice trips, a lilac stain,
                                                 A  memory carved, not in vain;
                                               The envelope opens, quite slow,
                                           Revealing words, where feelings glow.

                                              The taste of grape, a fading grace,
                                               Mirrored in the envelope's space,
                                             With purple echoes, deep and true,
                                                 A violet dream, close to blue.

                                                    Inside envelope, a letter,
                                              Of love plea, feelings free glitter;
                                              It speaks of time spent together,
                                               Of pledges made to each other.

                                          The purple fades, the grape is gone,
                                               But memories long linger on;
                                             The envelope , a silent friend,
                                            Keeps company till the dead end.

                                              Violet, purple, words entwined,
                                               Tapestry woven for the mind;
                                         Delicious grape, with time is stained
                                            But sweet words of letter remain.

Premium Member Amethyst Allure


As the early summer air ripples in my meadow, 
I see the dance of dulcet patina on dainty petals, 
unfurling with the embrace of dawn’s spectrum 
the elegant lilies with the gleam of sapphire silence. 

The flowers blossom in chromatic ebullience of joy, 
look up to the sunburst pallet of the seamless sky, 
suffusing its splendor in the essence of their soul, 
paint the florid portraits of heavenly surreal beauty . 

Celestial shine shimmers with the lavender rhythm, 
pulsating in my heart with the fervent floral grace. 
Preserved in its gloss is the sheen of enticing euphoria,
that turns into flourishing fresco of amethyst allure.

As summer breeze blows silver sequins in satin night, 
that floats on the mystique stream of the moonbeam, 
I descry the sparkling sky descend in my garden, 
as the lilies shine like diamond diadem of sprouting stars. 

Celestial charisma dances with blossoming cadence, 
pulsates in my heart with graceful intonation of rapture. 
The colors exude luring luster of exquisite exultation 
from the serenity of the splendorous florid facade. 

Pining for the embrace of the entrancing fragrance,  
I make an ornate vase in the cauldron of my yearning,  
where I place the baroque bouquet of blooming buds,
enfolding my enthralled heart turning into lilac lily.

Premium Member The Mockingbird

Day 1:
It’s early and I need my fix, berries or seed
I will fly next door but must watch for the monster
He is fluffy and orange and has claws, he tried to chase me
I will mock him, make all kinds of sounds, to scare him away
There he is, I land on his house roof and start singing
A doorbell sound, a siren, a screech, has he left yet?
I see a flash of orange run into the house, I won, ha ha!
I fly to the birdseed, whoa, I stop, there is a huge Blue Jay
I am beyond irritated, I squawk, dance and make a scene

Day 2:
The sweet lady comes out every morning with a huge beast
He tried to chase me one morning at the feeder, he is quick
I flew to safety, to the lilac bushes and hid in the bird house
I need to try again, there is so much free food, is it a trap?
I fly over even earlier to feed but there is another monster
He is black and white and stalks me, maybe I can attack him?
I decide to keep searching, I see another house I can try
I need to find new sounds to use for my feeding strategy 
Alas, sweet berry suet, I rejoice with my many melodies!

Premium Member Keepsake

Keepsake

A faded velvet box in lilac hues
 Protects a heart forged in priceless gold
Like secret caresses of a new love
 Precious gift of commitment – never old.

A faded photograph – sepia tones -
 Beloved faces – no wrinkles of today –
A locket graces a youthful neckline
 Vows of eternal love – a wedding day.

A faded memory – love ever young 
 Still lives beyond the dusty greys;
No tarnish dulls the bright recollections
 Of two hearts intertwined in yesterdays.

Faded days breathe again - heart reopened –
Gift for a wedding day – new love spoken.

This poem is about the gift of a locket from my grandfather to my grandmother and now to me.

Ataraxis

in quietness of placid dream
cloak of darkness on hidden scars
slowly glows a sequestered stream  

slowly departs from deserted streets 
a moon in vista of soft warm light 
as dewdrops blossom in tender tweets 

music of heartbeats in faint skyline 
light redeems slowly from another world
in flossy collage, calm colors entwine 

a canvas splashes ambrosia of pink 
purple and lilac in a golden ataraxis
sound and silence in perfect sync

morning stars hang up in a pallid yawn
light pulses slowly, meld in pastel dawn 
yet another new day, waiting to be born.
