Long Mellowness Poems

It was jazzy June and green butterflies, filled the air with magic.
Then butterscotch days were long, until the purple sunset panic.

Sunny June, when music festivals, were staged in shady parks;
While in treetops purple martins, warbled...

Turn the cold shoulders
Turn the other cheek

I don’t care
Yeah, I don’t care
Anymore…
About anything, everyone and everything…
I’m engaging in encouraging sports in my mind’s eye
I am a confident guy, yet I act so damn shy
Reduced me...

A BACKWARD GLANCE
Alongside a Chiltern chalkstream
I lay me down to dream,
of country paths,stiles and steep slopes,
those days,long ago,filled with hope;
I dreamed of days of summer sun
when my life had just begun,
climbing trees,cricket on the green,

This youth, with its curiosity to follow dreams,
always finds us among the tallest sunflowers
that hide us from the bewildered faces
of the common people who surely envy us
for being here between sunset and darkness,
carefully drawing images...

You are glistening 
Upon a eloquent design 
I claim it…it’s mine
Paint me a brighter day
without gluttony…
without trouble 
I’ll be captivated in an
everlasting utopia
Look! Here comes a beam
from the sunshine
I claim it…it’s mine 
Glistening
Captivated in
Complete delusion

In dreams of yonder, wishes wistfully conceive,
A cradle of lost tomorrows, where shadows sway;
To a realm unseen, where hearts believe,
Past where twilight’s lulling lullabies lay,
A world where reverie and reality secretly play.

Through the veil of...

But before you quit the game, roll the dice one last time.

What have you seen in your life till now?

Did you perceive the sweetness...

To this sad and depressed world 
To bring some happiness into hearts  
Alike to young and old 
Soft music to lift up the mood

In the sphere of exuberance and delight.
Places where relationships provide insight. 
There's a sweetness in the mellowness.
Emotion embellished without devilishness 

Intoxication of perpetual bliss,
Unceasing happiness, a blessed kiss 
Of goodness and joyfulness...

INSTRUMENTAL INFATURATION

The piano man stopped playing when you walked in
And that’s when I heard the brass begin
The flautist was taken aback by your grin
And then I heard the voice of a violin

The drummer stumbled over...

Quiet like the trees,
Rustling in gentle whispers,
Wrens, robins – scarlet
Cardinals, listening for the 
Music of March winds
Caressing the dancing daffodils,
As they hasten to herald
Spring’s laughing sunbeams,
The wonder of sweetest
Serenity, falling in tender
Dewdrop desires, erasing the...

Mellowness and meekness is what I seek and I am proud
Humility, love, desire, benevolence, bravery and confidence is what I beseech
I am but...

The alarm went off!
I yawned and stretched.
Put on my pink sequined slippers
and streaming pink robe.
Which in my closet, I had fetched.


The abubble appetite of my furry
Stunning, purring calico.
Her soft tones, calling for breakfast,
Oh, so tenderly...

musings 
 past & present
 linger long
    perspective
 changes all
mellowness
   of memory
   gathering 
dust
brooding
in
  a contemplation
so
vulnerable 
   in thought
unsure in deed
fear interplays

In greater depths do I feel,

   her wondrous ways,

   where grace hath no need 

   but to melt in her arms,

And softly whisper longing, 

   chasing rainbows...

A windy summer day

Colored by the bright yellow hays

As if inviting the mind to go astray

To a place where it prefers to stay




This swirling thought of mind

And the feeling that goes unwind

Can I keep this...

Is love not like the weathered bark
Tightly holding that which it cherishes
A gnarled and wily smile savoring
The beauty of its outstretched arms
Rocking to the tempo of the time
Swaying in a sunset serenade
Bowing to the moon’s...
