Long Wintergreen Poems

Resorting nature of Years and year's,
Moving miles and miles,
Life is just a bit of moments filled with sheer joy as I share it with You, my lovely Adam.
You won't believe, Its even been more better...

(A Christmas Collage) 

The sun has set and night is stealing
Softly o'er the silent land,
While snowflakes slowly down are falling,
Shaken from an unseen hand.

To the top of Thorburne Tower
Light from windows streams around;
The glow of...

I have found the treasure
that lies at the Rainbow's end;
surrounded by Sweet William, for-get-me knots,
and crimson shades of velvet rose.

Near the cottage of old where I was young,
the quaint charm of the English garden.
Where time...

Wintergreen leaves of frozen tiffany, encased within
Crystalized ice cycles are the delicate roses of youth.
Tender shards easily shattered or creaked by 
Betrayals heavily handed anvils blazing.
Sparking with passions burnt offerings flickering
Flame, that wavers with age...

The Visit

Dimly lit room with flowered wallpaper, 
bridal chamber for a couple, 1920.
In her noontime daydream she could see back then.

Coal dust between her fingers,
a strong back from lifting buckets,
waiting for the annual Christmas visit.
“My...

Two of the Woods

We are of the woods
Miles upon miles, kicking up the trails dirt
A forbidden but impending bond being built

We are of the woods
In evenings dappled light, peaking through the leaves
We tasted loves first...

My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
     from the vineyard of En Gedi.

Billows of a winter snow blowing through my curtain window 
all I sweet remember is the way the willow tree smelled 
that creamy, sugary, wintergreen scent of its lovely mellow  
and the way the...

Near the Singing

Christmas is coming
Christmas is near
Near the wintergreen tree
Near his fearful dreams
Dreams of hope
Dreams of peace
Peace and quiet
Peace to men
Men who rage
Men who try
Try to smile
Try to be
Be not noble
Be secure
Secure the latches
Secure the...

I fell, I fall;
I’ve fallen into fall;
Cool brisk warm autumn;
Windblown leaves to the ground-bottom;

A time when the leaves ;
On the tree leave;
Colorists’ red, yellow’s brown’s orange;

I alas do, fall into fall again;
I rise up and...

My baby has bi-lateral bonbons.
She modulates her rhythm side to side.
She’s a twenty-mule team moving violation,
Her motives pure as borax, her methods bona fide.   
She stood naked in a shell at her creation,
Now...

Tossing mints in a t-rex mouth,
his calamitous breath smells good,
as the terrible lizard rolls you South,
delighting in his wintergreen food.

Thankfully this monstrosity of a sweet-tooth Rex
rejects his diet of flesh and menthol as vomitus.
Relating voluminously...

   I close my eyes- 
Remembering your touch
   Breathing in
Your rain dampened leather…
   Your after shave and wintergreen
All those warm, familiar smells of you

   Smiling…
In the middle...
