pt 2 of quaternion
sweltering
the unpaved streets
intolerably stifling
everyone
seeking cool air
sitting
enjoying the resite
from
the unusual heat
the past
called to mind
the inconvenience
the fear
to venture out
any capricious
movement
stifled
sucking breath
and perspiration
in torrents
tottering about
clothes fluttering
homewards making
under a clear sky
completing responsibilities
in the dry
desolate
landscape
till
it runs with rain
no one lives
in the house
abandoned
to seek the shade
until
the late evening
hours
this season
of long days
humid nights
the advanced in age
apt
to fall asleep
with
reflections
of an idle hour
~He Will Be With You ~
(Quaternion)
When with life you can not longer cope
He will give you love, peace, and hope.
He will help you to be very strong
When everything for you go wrong.
When you fight and struggle all in vain
He will comfort and take away your pain.
When you are at the end of your rope
He'll help you see better beyond your scope.
When your spirit is so sad and low
Before God just kneel right there and much pray.
When troubles in life just pile wide and so high
His divine love in your heart forever will just flow.

QUATERNION (free verse)
Ah, Spring come again, the
warmth, the rain, yellows and
green.Grass, winds, blossom
bright,showers of life aloud in
the sky
Then Summer, her
beauty displays.
All nature in
flower, eye-catchingly dressed
to attract; then mellow vistas
bedeck the view with largesse,
bountiful Fall’s into our arms
to sustain our sleep in quietness
of Winter’s cold indoor nights

as a sequence
Bella
He
opened
the window-
in streamed his first
love
with
flowers,
dressed
in white-
she haunted his
art.
The
eyes show
subjection,
melancholy
and
a
resigned
acceptance-
yet beauty shines
through.
Ekphrasis lanterne after
Head of a ***** by Watteau
THE WIFE
Of
Mahler,
Gropius
Franz Werfel-
filled life with her
song-
she
gave Klimt
her first kiss-
but like a Strauss
waltz
her
affairs
of the heart--
never lasted
long.
LANTERNE ALMANAC
WINTER
in
anger-
whips up the waves,
pounds the shingle
shore
SPRING
in
action-
brings to life
and feathers its
nest
SUMMER
so
lazy-
rests the soul
and flowers the
land
AUTUMN
so
mellow-
scents and sounds
in the harvest
home.
WITHERED
On
the verge
of heaven,
'ere the petals
bloom-
On
the verge
of heaven,
faith still sings the
tune
An easter lanterne inspred by a phrase from Michael Bruce9 the noted hymn writer
ENIGMA CODEX
When
all is
left hidden-
the poetic
is
more
easy
to discern-
buried within
hints.
Lanterne- Fall quaternion
Autumn
in the air-
drops of saguine
red
Thin
spires
in the breeze-
tasselled teasels
touch
Lost
in the
soft mist of
dawn
Rain
dropped leaves
spotted gold
mould in the
dew
pt 3 of quaternion
Autumn's
long evenings
long hours
after sunset
in the play of moonlight
a celebration
a small feast
a gesture
of sharing prevails
a time to refresh&
relax
in humble
leisure
free
from anxiety
with one who is loved
a trusted confidant
indulged
serene&irreproachable
old&retired
acutely aware
of the ups&owns of
life
the vain entanglements
worldly trivialities
once dedicated
now weary
regrets
at time passing
nostalgic
once memories
unveiled
with gestures
of kindness
interleaved
in expectation
prodigious wit
in unlikely stories
of hilarity unfolded
refreshing
to savour
once again
the only noise
the voice of the past
in
uncertain transience
vain yearnings
the profusion
of contrasted
in the
multitudinous
colour-filled
world
of
yesterday
OPEN
Each
chiselled
line
enamel
images
to float
upon
sounds
sans

crosswise MATISSE
Your art your notes your style
So varied so wise so true
Opened then drew close to
My eye my mind my heart
My eye my mind my heart
To love to learn to know
Your craft your theory your technique
Forever you made so unique
crosswise-GRAND-DAUGHTERS FAIR
Your innocence your purity your smile
So open so natural so wide
Charms enchants awakes
My spirit my eyes my pride
My spirit my eyes my pride
Inside in wonder in youth
To pray to gaze to praise
In love in awe of thee
quintile-SWEET VERSE
words too
familiar
or too remote
defeat the purpose of which,
he wrote
was his
hidden
enigma
a step too far,
if no-one could open
his jar
Inspired by Johnson's famous dictum
sequence-THE COUNSELLOR
He
opens
hearts and minds
in sickness and
health-
He
draws us
to himself
a quiet voice
we
hear
prompts
and reminds-
until peace we
find-
Then
fills us
with His word,
so we may be
heard
Fibonacci-faith quaternion
when
I
listen
God will speak
when God speaks
my mind
will
hear
when
the
open
door closes
light begins to glow
a new way
for me
to
go
An open verse
Will
my verse
reach your ear
can
your eye
stay the course
Does
unconvention
confound
the rhythm
of your eyes
Take
a deep breath
exhale and read
between my lines
unphased
by phrase and
habitude
or human voice
The choice
is always
yours if
my poem will
be or is
not to be
a tune upon
your ear
Deep within green forests I wandered alone,
a nature child of seasons like a leaf blown.
I recall my first real kiss upon my pink lips,
and will never forget how my heart did flips.
Oh, we made a baby so beautiful and sweet,
I had it all and I thought my life complete.
But, this love had another fate and plan,
I will keep close how with a kiss it all began.
