One Day

One day not so long ago 
I walked
Never alone
For the world 
Is always my home

It was a late
Spring snow
Yet I felt
Invisible red roses
Offering sweetest perfume
To my nose and soul

There’s such warmth 
In snow-filled winter
No bitterness
No...

A Harvest Quartet of Subtle Harmonics

Spring's Excitement
There are rhythms of Nature that no one controls
that farms use to advantage! Time's fishermen sailed
both with tides and fair breezes offshore in their boats
at each dawn and dusk's onshore brought home each day's...

Spring's Kindness - a Collaboration With Regina Mcintosh

Cascading off the winter chill
leaving warmth wherever it traces
the edge of the daffodil, tulip or crocus

Be still my heart 1391

Flutter dear heart
Let this mystery start
Of entwined lace
And God’s holy grace
With scented chiffon flowing
Smoke from the chimney blowing
And stifled salted tears
From memories through the years.
Melancholy laments
What my love represents.
Indispensable betrothed vows
That soft emotions arouse.
Paradox wandering...

The Nightmare - Henry Fuseli

In vibrations of virtual whispers,
I found her under a satin sunset,
chained to an eerie entity, digging, 
its claws into her silken spirit.
Yet behind her dim eyes - I saw 
tiny flames of fuchsia and gold
and...

Impetuous Will


Headstrong, with an ageless broken heart,
I erased the memories of childhood,
And painted them back in frail colors, blushing pinks,
Pastels like jewels fading from my trembling fingers,
Imagining a dream where there had only been fantasies,
Brilliant fantasies...

Each day I wake as if I hold a sable brush in my hand

Crushing On You

The crowd crushed ruthlessly to the exit when darkness had fallen into disrepair

Made way through a tunnel of gloom and abandoned him and his sunken feeling

Tears of Time

T i m e stops for no one,
as searing seconds swerve
through seasonal squalls,
thawing frost that sleeps upon
the necks of onyx roses,
where pain is etched in skeletal sins~
across pruned plumes,
fleeting through amethyst air, 
merged in changing...

I thought for a long time

and the comparatives 

of every beauty you know



You love me, you loathe me,

I'm evil and detestable

You take me to my...
