The Memory of Rain

I like the smell of rain 
That permeates my nose 
a little time before  miraculously fat drops 
start falling on my head .
They bring a joyful feeling that I can not explain.
 those clouds have traveled for so long I suppose,
They come from faraway .

They carry laughs , tears, flavors that slide on our rooftops . 
The loving sound of kisses , enchanting songs  and whispers .
The sweat of lonely farmers , the noise of fishing boats .

Because to me ,each drop of crystal water
brings memory’s life notes .
Wet stories from the past and its eternal trotter .
The never ending process of hydrologic roams .

Imagine if we could, translate the noise of raindrops.
We’ll find in one of them a sweet tale of endurance.
The story of a grandpa and a curious little girl,
all crazed about the hints of any welcomed rain .
Preparing paper boats to set them on gray currents
and hoping that they stayed afloat. 

To  keep  their  little happiness 
As a forever revery , 
a minimal footnote 
that floats inside a circle ,
the circle of rain’s memory .


Premium Member On Devil's Night

On Devil’s Night

There once was a devil queen  on Whispering Lane
Mean and cunning her crew driven insane
For millenniums hurling malice 
Content in her palace
Casting a malevolent muse throughout her reign

The King no longer amused by sonnets that shame
Concoction’s of besmirchment  tangents that defame
He sends for his men
Calls out to them
bring me an enchanted quill before the sunrise flame                                                  
                                            
On Devil’s Night…

Along  trails a fairy ascends with cascading red hair
Whilst  devil queen sleeps inside her musky lair    
Dreams of incantations
linking locution associations
Hater of poetry that allures not hers drives despair                                                                  

As the fairy sings with an angel's voice
The King listens he has made his choice
Let it be so my loyal Jester
the fairy you‘ll sequester
The zealous Jester lures to come rejoice!

The jealous devil queen a tedious word crafter 
Responsible for cancelling laughter
Now casts her spell
expelling the fairy to hell
It’s there she sings her happily ever afters   
	
You see she was in a realm from hell, and not even a spell could save her.
The new reign of elect it is when she’s saved, and the devil queen will finally                                                     reflect.  Denouncing her kingdom and foreboding.

Bright lights, flames in motion.
Arms weighted with emotion,
as each carries
their burdensome torch.

Lit alleyways, littered by mayhem,
breached by commonsense.

Is it too late
to chase scintillating dreams,
to rid the streets
of the beast?

The mantra
had captivated mouths and memes,
seemed the broad path was in,
was easy. No one understood,

the following was satisfying,
it had treats, whistles and bells.
Pavlov would ring,
ice cream was melting;
drips and dollars,
indecisiveness.

The public fell for it.
Hypnotic, sliding
into each scenario
like colorforms placed;
placemats, paid off.

The scent of incense
scorching the silver lining,
anger the prayers of the masses
who had never knelt
to the unknown God,

only to reason and revery.
Oh yes, they dipped
into psychedelics,
thrilled by curt
and coarse language,
and irreverent motion
of the tall man.

Like any gang,
with any spark of disloyalty,
you’re out,
you’re beat -
tread marks identify you
as the enemy.

No one notices
because each member’s
given rose-colored glasses.
The storm of hail,
thunder, lightening,
frightening
but ineffective to disturb
the disturbed.

Torches light the streets,
attempt peace,
only propaganda distressed.
Occasionally,
one pulls away from Frankenstein’s monster
when the light
lands on the truth.

Proof. Glass house shatters. Gutter
full of bottles; hands through grates.

Dividing line. Blue sky and bluebirds
above the fray; fearless patriots.

Premium Member Sight For Sore Eyes

Milky Way dream spots 
and other-worlds engaged me 
this earthbound urchin
science fiction plots might stir
a pure childhood fantasy 

But golden aura 
folks can sense that Christmas treat 
their pearl orb tot craves
“sight for sore eyes tinsel rapt” 
“galaxies galore.” Mum beamed 

My peepers wept dams
at magic flight revery 
cosmic distance bridged
telescope a nod to star 
bright clusters in the heavens 

Family ring glow
spark and madcap stellar oomph
cached image-laden
supernova vault’s gem horde
that souvenir I treasure

Premium Member Thanks John

Clearly in my memory,
a moment of discovery,
in spiritual revery,
and I was not alone.

A kid, when I first heard his sound,
with mountains all around,
it was something new I found,
Country Roads had brought me home.

Two hours each way by bus,
eight hours washing pots, and thus,
life was hard, monotonous,
and the days were long.

I was just eighteen years old.
In school, I should have been enrolled,
but in my head, a voice of gold -
I heard Annie's Song.

Those were many years ago,
and I am moving oh so slow.
I don't have too much to show.
My life is almost done.

Too early, you said your goodbyes,  
but you help me see it rise,
for my shoulders and my eyes,
the shining of the sun.

Gone

No time for breakfast, snatch a cereal bar,
anger at mislaid  keys to the car.
He vents his spleen at anything that moves
she dishes out a look that disapproves.
The children eat their toast, their heads kept down
until the door slams as he leaves for town.
Alone, mid-morning, ploughing through the chores
her revery broke with knocking at the door.
Policemen on the step, their faces grim
mouths never moved, but eyes said 'it was him'.
The first of many tears now glazed her cheek,
she crumpled just as they began to speak.

In case it be your last,  maybe do this-
start each day with ' I love you' and a kiss.

Premium Member Fading From a Distance

We held the ash of paling revery 
how fast, through shadows blowing out the night
but then, it faded; lost in  times remote
in places where I had been known to you.

But flash and fade, the breach of this union
erased me from glint of  ardor that once 
embraced a wise and knowing vow; entwined
with bliss, laughter and the intensity
of profound hope you plucked  from the earth--
a kind that was difficult to siphon root to stem.

God knew it hurt... but I am learning still
to have my soul ignite and heal away

Premium Member Classic Romance Revery

You've always known me as I have known you,
we must've sent glances ten thousand times.
Beyond all our days done, both bright and blue;
regal fates fail in moving my windchimes.

The ringing we wait for, whilst hoping here
when we must still stay many miles apart;
hearing wee whispers fade year after year
like broken halves of one's only true heart.

So I reach to give you a tiny touch.
Will you feel it? Shall you summon me in?
Taste the sweet embrace that you seek so much,
our life as one may finally begin.

Court has known of us and my wanting you -
together, let's see what we can dare do.
