Long Liquid sunshine Poems

Birdie’s Bar
August 19, 2008

To the old Plymouth
Mom came to salvage her brood
We’d hear the crunch of gravel beneath her feet
She dragged us three sleepy eyed girls
Sullen
Curious 
Non-entities
We took our mealy mouths up and followed her
Out...

Spring awakens life from winter tomb
The flowers and trees begin to bloom
There is freshness where once was gloom
The dew is like honey, moon’s tears, or liquid sunshine of mists from vacuum 

This is the year’s...

Shabbos Table True Fable
Our family "Heimish" setting,
Replete with 2 lighted candles letting,
Blessings, my wife's "Emunah" truly abetting.

6 days' worries & scurries set aside, allayed,
2 lights cleansing in noble "Dr. Suess" style displayed,
Candlesticks' "Curved Art", due...

Liquid sunshine,
rushes through my veins,
pumping through my heart,
leaving my body quivering;

passionate fire
carresses my skin, 
with every sinful kiss
you grant my ever begging lips;

your eyes, leave my soul, 
without a drop of pain,
soothing all fear and,
filling...

Sugar drops and colored gumballs,
An open skyline, an open convertible, and a white ragtop!
Black Perrelis, red caps, and spoked mag-frames,
Pacific Coast Highway, and her stairway to heaven!

A thousand charged horses on pure octane!
My deliverance, black...

Rushing through each day, as if I had not a care,
head long toward the sun screaming, "catch me if you dare."
Dripping drabs of liquid sunshine burn my deft eye.

While seeking answers to the question, why,...

One day last summer,
In the stagnant July heat,
I was swimming in cool, green, waters.
As the one I loved
Dropped an anchor
From the little boat;
So that he may watch me dance.

My Hands glided
On top of the still...

The birch’s leaves seem to glow silver in sun’s light
While the trunk is ghostly white
The tree makes for nostalgic sight
But its beauty dazzles with delight

The willows crown is like liquid sunshine gold
When it tells ballads...

After a long, dry, barren drought
I looked up to see a heavy cloud.
It then began as a sweet, soft mist
Falling gently onto my pallid skin.

Sleep with you is strangely safe.
Your warm presence is my hiding...

Coffee

I arose early this morning with the fragrance of roses drifting in through my opened window.
This gentle breeze stirs life to awaken from its slumber.
The Twilight of this gentle morning brings me to dress in...

Lightening bolts of color frolic across the snow,
Splatter on the ground, bounce off ice crusted pond,
Heralding Icicle’s last rendezvous dance with Spring,
As soft white dove takes silent wing.

Twisted, sculptured shard of frozen translucent reflection,
Suspended from...

Birds fly through my window
With colorful feathers and 
Silver, Gold musical notes
Mother says the songs 
Are meant to bring cheer
And ignite imagination.
The forest isn't scary
The monsters come out in the dark
But I have a heart...

Wet my thirst for you because I’m dry
Sprinkle it down as I look to the sky
Mist your caring upon my face
Leave the dew so I can leave this place

I burn with loneliness from our hearts...

Possess

Baby choose your verb
this Saturday night I intend
to explore so very many of them...

You taste sweet
like oranges
liquid sunshine in my mouth...

Let us drink from the fountain of love
where every drop
is eternal passion...

Let us supernova
creating new...

After the greedily laden cirrus' lighten their loads,
a dog day returns to our suburban sanctuary.
As the mercury ascends like a climber captured in a glass tube,
the heath's heady aromas revoke our remorse.
Tangled brier and spiky...

Memories of swaying palms held dear
Nothing compares to these Fall trees
We wait with joy for colors to appear 
Autumn has found a home in me. 

Nothing compares to these Fall trees
Summer’s gone - now we’ve...

Then
Sneakers, candy;
one favourite dress
worn again
and again.
Now
Stilettos, mascara;
Tattered jeans
without the benefit
of skinned knees.
 
 
Then
Boisterous laughter,
shrieks of delight.
Running, shouting,
lemonade, glorious sunlight.
Now
Mysterious smile
that seeks attention;
neon lights and beer 
but still not as much fun.

Then
Liquid sunshine
like yellow satin;
all...

And We Call It……

Sprinkles, drizzles,
Mists and downpours;
Torrents, cloudbursts
Liquid sunshine;
Showers, deluge,
Mists and squalls,
Gully washers -
Thunder showers.

Pelting, pounding,
Soaking, drenching;
Dancing, pouring
Cats and dogs;
Bursting, drifting
Floating, falling,
Coming down
In buckets.

Comes in summer
Rides on thunder,
Comes in autumn
Twirls on whirlwinds;
Comes in winter
Plays with...

days of rain

charcoal black skies churn
 endless days of pouring rain ~
  puddle reflections

thunder showers roar
 torrential pounding rhythms beat ~
  pearls drip from bare twigs

showers from cloudbursts
 in crystal liquid sunshine ~

Assuaging our thirst drives us in from the street,
shoppping fatigued; a welcome retreat
as a menu of delights rewards us with tea,
Black Yunnan for you and Silver Tips for me. 

Smooth liquid sunshine kisses Ruby Woo...

platinum and grey

against the sky

it starts to rain

clouds silver linings break

birds tucked away in the trees

are quiet now

water gathers down paths

collected by gravity

intensity varies from

down pour

to steady

to trickle

these clouds

are in no hurry

and like variety

then suddenly...

I found a kind moment lost  in your cloud tear

The heavenly water washed away our pain and fear

It drowned us both with love and took away the sin

The rain drops of hope began to...
