Long Mauves Poems

Called to journey
Through the passageway of my heart
I close the door and turn
Exposing myself in full surrender

Fuzzy whiteness vibrates around me
A fleecy cocoon tickles my limbs
I feel your fingertips calling out to me
Royal turquoise butterflies...

I would have liked to be in the head of Claude Debussy,
write the “afternoon prelude of a faunal”,
Or "the toy box", or "Bergamasque suite", "La mer",
be a musician, a seer, and invent new music,
I would...

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...

in silence i stand
wistful recollections
censure this mind
unfolding fragility of fate
lost in soft shadows of time
nothings irreplaceable

death's cold hand touches me
between the whispers and the sighs
of lingering memories

awakening
deep inclinations
that taunt me 
in your ruins

silently abstracted
one last...

She remembered when they first met,
he promised her anything,
and she lay in his arms cradling the golden moon
he had plucked out of the sky and placed at her feet, 
and when she asked for a...

I ride the vibrant crests
Of a tangerine moon
Glowing across stardust ridges
Where inspiration tickles
My heart with laughing dewdrops

I drift on the edge of a smiling
Emerald forest filled with
Whispery pines and strong oaks
All the trees remind me...

CAN  YOU  SPEAK  WOMAN?

I can speak French and sometimes Chinese
I can also speak cat with some ease
When he  miaows at me as he goes
I mimic his call and he  knows
When...

Dark green is my jealousy, red is my love
Purple is for righteous anger
And that from heaven above.
Blue is my humour side
But it is really quite pale.
Brown is for misery,
But we don’t want to hear that...

I have a small secret confession to make, 
And I’ll tell you about it right now.
It’s a fetish I have with the skin on my face, 
Above and below my eyebrow.

I love to tattoo small...

Oh mighty tree whose leaves look on fire
Vibrant orange, red colours spiralling
like feathers, raising ones hopes and desire
gently with aplomb on the trail falling.

Scrunch is the sound children make as they run
tossing the leaves and...

In western skies, an eagle soars, at ease.
Below, the curving Colorado flows,
Winding its way through deep and dusty seas
Carving canyon walls steep, through tracts of time.

Twilight to twilight, its myriad moods
Are freshly painted on those...

Deep within my hidden pastel dreams
are soft sweet colors of a newborn spring
dressed up in mauves and pinks and windham creams
while giving hope to love and all it brings.

Painted in the colors of the dawn,
like...

We watched the sun,
The blue sky fading away;
Pinks, blues, mauves mingling,
Finally the sun falling into the earth.

Then you kissed me,
With lips sweetly gentle;
My world spun out of control,
And from that moment and that kiss.

My life...

Enchanted in a field of 
Petals blue, a figure stands
And stately stares so true.
Lushes greens and mauves
Surround this hue; they 
Carry with them charms
That follow you. In your 
Eyes reflects the golden
Sun; that nestles on...

I watch as late afternoon begins the decay 
Fading into shadows, dusk ends the day  

Sky lightens into the palest of blues 
Drifts to mauves and shell pink hues 

The bush sinks heavily in...

Hear our voice
From the east, west, south, and north
Hear our independence
This July Fourth
Like flowers in bloom
In the night
See the chandeliers
Hang in the sky
With crescendos and
Reds, blues and whites
Explosions and commotion
In the battle lights
In the bomb...

September Arrival

Between August and October
Lovely September calls
Curving along colorful path
From summer to fall

Zinnias and Cosmos are in bloom
With yellow, pind and white
Making the small gardens alive
Color abound in sight

So welcom to new September
Colors of red...
