Long Pristinely Poems

With trepidation, loneliness, and fear,
I called to you 
And you lived pristinely
You lived in my heart 

I heard their mystical, sage voices cry out
“The one you seek is coming,
Oh so soon is he coming!
And what...

Easy to be cruel
against sublime unitarian longings
stewed in outdoor green/blue sunshine
reproducing universal solitude belonging

Within this multiculturally hued
resilient solidarity
I likely feel compassion's warm 
win/win communication 
in/on Earth's most gracefilled
vocationally sacred 
shared interfaith intent

To find every day,...

And thus I wake from my 30 month slumber
Fuzzy headed and cotton-mouthed
As pristinely damaged as before my rest
When my Reaper drew our curtains closed

Living life in a trance isn't new to me
I don't think I've...

Descending into a mega-mall, the fluorescence blemishes my skin.
There is a twinge in my temples as I approach the makeup counter,
meeting eyes with a woman whose shoes pierce my gait 
and whose artificially white teeth...

Barefoot on the paving slab chill, concrete
feet feel frostbite emanations in their callused souls;
rooftop mystique clamours silent slate triangles,
perched the stray cat observers, red-eyes smoking coals.
Down to the river's edge where swaying reeds
feed mongrel contemplations...

Violet 
star stream
flowing 
across 
the 
soullessness
of
mundane dream...
Whispering "everything's alright.
She's thriving like a spring fed rose in saintly gardens.
An angel brightly glowing.

...of this dream.
I staggered along a ragged path.
Through a battlefield of metal devils-called "quartered living.
Faith...

Pristinely, Clearly, Really, O Lovely
Word play on what to say
Love her, treat her, be that friend to her; Lover
Men use common sense; rethinkin
Hmm specific times with each line

my legs welcome the warmth of the Kansas sun
bird with a screech makes weird noises
sweat bee hovers close to my left ear
I swat at it with my notebook

clouds are moving tremendously slowly
an asymmetrical opening shows...

Every Day


Every day is a page 
to write a new story
pristinely from our heart;
to begin once again.

Each new day, a story
in our dear book of life;
one full page of many
that build our history.
A new story...

When the brightest moon begins to wane,
And the sun breathes life into every plain.
Mother Nature sees life sustain.

Springtime starts her flowering reign.
Blue Vervain and Daisy Fleabane –
Pristinely plants spread in the rain.

Even deadly plants like...

Reflected gentle in the skies,
Moon and stars, strolling serenely
Laughing winds in shadow implies
Quiet dreams dancing pristinely

Listening for the chance to rouse
Phantastic that might prove keenly
Hidden away like the still mouse
Quiet dreams dancing pristinely

Dusk falls light...

Beach Wedding at Dawn
				© Holly W. Schwartztol

On this wedding morning
The gentle air
Of sunlight dawning

Celebrates this moment
So pristinely clear
Awakening us all

To the promise
Of love’s golden
melody

From the diaphanous
Wings of the dragonfly
Comes the message

That the two of you
Are...

Dana is pretty like Cinderella
A busybody who knows nothing said.
But I saw Dana, and she was clean
Cinderella was always cinder full, right?

She reminds me of her, the speaker said.
I tried to see it, but could...

A BALL WILL ROLL WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE
ALL THE WHILE YOU HASTILY SEARCH FOR YOU KEYS.

“The snow did not even whisper its way to earth, but seemed to salt the night with silence.” — Dean Koontz

Inhaling quietude, I watch 
glistening pearls swirling in twilight’s sky.
The silence deepens as winter softly...

The beautiful Miss Rabbit entered the parlor with her usual smile.
We had not enjoyed her presence for many days, quite a little while.
We began shining up our whiskers and sprucing up our rabbit ears.
That she...
