Long Sundrops Poems

The stage is set
The audience fixed their eyes
fitted to the scene, to feed

Sun lit the early morning clouds
And It disappeared, gold appears
Spraying warmth fragrance
On dews of still sleeping leaves
To paint them dry awakening the greens
Yet...

A haze… 
Languorous oft in summer days 
Where sundrops drip 
From melting skies 
Onto city grind 
And parasols shade the cobbled grays

Across back alley lanes 
Trains and trolleys tip toe by 
As a fool in...

By the kitchen sink my time is lost,
hovering by a random fruit fly flies by,
by a hanging holiday trinket of a glass blue-eye 
foreground to the view of the Elmworth estate
before me, a window of...

I'm a sinister shell, 
lost in bygone 
deepwaters of
gravity-less 
cerulean tears, 
that saturate 
molten sundrops, 
falling from 
zinc-plated skies, 
as heliophilic snow,
melts frosted 
memories in 
white-washed waves, 
and the moon-
kissed paint of
chamomile dusk 
seeps in
cataclysmic...

Dormant beneath a surface that lies;
Hidden to none, except your own eyes.

The mirror shows it everyday;
A gemstone in Heaven, God’s moulded clay.

A smile, stained by sundrops of gold;
Eyes are the windows of a soul not...

Where have all the raindrops gone
Spilling from on high?
Which once would fall about my head
But now my head is dry.
Where have all the snowflakes gone
Ambling down from space?
Shivering in the winter wild
And melting on my...

Autumn Yawns

Autumn yawns – early darkness stunts her days
Eventide wrapped in golden umber tones
Bands of autumn hues swaddle mellow haze
Sunset sundrops sweet serenades intone.

Twilight dozes ‘neath the harvest’s birthstone
Autumn savors new frost in early dusk
Scarlet...

Perennially, like the angels, bloom with a bright smile
Like the sun, radiant with perpetual light and life
Ever youthful, and like the goddess Dyana, fruitful
How slimly and sternly you are held by a green stem fife!

Welcomed by Granchester Meadows
Jade-like healing and green astounded
by what my eyes could not capture just a few
years before I found even more
beauty in the gentle laying of the grass in the
bluness of the Cam
river
With an...

Over the confines of the cliffs
in a cloud of crystalline haze
in the midst of a tsunami of whistling

skyline shadows in golden amber
hues ooze into the ocean
triumph against craving

waves of fairy spirits
Pearl stone sparkles in sundrops

 drip, drops, rain plops

no sundrops

creek rises

earth's prizes

cooler air

clouds in pairs

very chilled 

and unfulfilled  

jump in warm bed with love instead

day 'twill be watershed

to time we laid in bed

pain does drive us out

and we...

The elegance of a duck gliding over the still pond....poetry in motion.


Down here the serenity of this afternoon of May
suddenly shattered by a busy kingfisher,
it swoops down to water for day's last prey
sending ripples in...

Is gold blossoming in each branch?
At the end of spring, they fill the ranch.
Smooth, pale, or greenish-grey, crusty barks
Bright yellow, drooping Sundrops fill the parks.
In pendulous racemes, the flowers hang
As though ornaments of spring, they...

I remember a sunset you gifted to me
long ago an afternoon of sun,sky and sea
paintbrush touch changing the sky indigo to pink
golden sun turning soft was about to sink
crimson sky looking down to see its...

Her skin reflected the Sun
her eyes were blue like the sea
she was sunbathing on beach
how I loved her eyes!

Never did she like tan lines
so have a guess of her dress
salty breeze playing with curves
her lips...

You are percolating 

in many spangles with

visible echo's whelming

and sundrops expressions, 

shimmering in...More estatic 

than a staccato glowing firework show 

coated with fluid inconsistancy. 

You're slick with bursts of light 

in tones glistening, exciting my...
