Long Wonderlands Poems

For several years I'd worked as a life coach, assisting clients day by day,
Like blazing colors in the shank of the evening, chases deep blues away.

It was an occupation that I enjoyed, as helping others...

bajillion snowflakes tumble out of sky
atavistic fascination awakened
agog at ice crystals stinging each eye

First appreciable (healthy) snowfall 2022 occurred January 28th

Virgin whiteness blankets terrestrial realm
bajillion snowflakes tumble out of sky
atavistic fascination awakened
agog at ice crystals stinging each eye
while I strike open mouthed stance
relishing tasting frozen water molecules.

No matter...

I feel like a burden.
Parents kicked me out saying 
“He’s gotta deal with her now” 
And they weren’t playing
“If you leave this house,

Don’t worry mom and dad 
I had enough time to...

Centered around ephemeral shapes, 
Now—shapeless now—flailing—
Yellows, blues, oranges and reds,
Heat eating what surrounds it till it Can no more—eyes—in the fire. . .

The way life moves toward danger, 
And eyes watch closely,
Growing and slackening,
Distant singing...

I want to take a walk by the beach,
Listen to the sound of the roaring waters,
I'd love to take a seat by the palm trees, 
Listen to the symphony from
 the evening orchestra band,
I'd love...

Dream on

Be it white rabbit holes of wonderlands
Or black holes  of never-here flounder lands ,
Dreaming on and on
Vaunted  webs they  spawn
In  this ‘ uni-verse’ that ever expands*.

Expanding like vapor, fluff and...

And the night begins to fall,
So, does all the dreams of all the little children,
In their own wonderlands of their own,
Wishing and thinking of great things to...

It was nine degrees out all was frozen
Not much better inside for commode water
Icy crystals formed not what we'd chosen 
Shaking at fireplace's front, stood our daughter
On top of the hearth wasn't any better
One thing...

Oh, my Love! The throb and thrill of my life!
Why remain out of my reach like willow-the -wisp?
Why vanish quickly like an evanescent dream
Why fade out like a symphony sweet?
Won’t you come to me to...

The pyramids have made me ponder
Sprouting tall in sands of timeless plunder
They raise the palms, of either hand
Among the eighth, of wonderlands
I'll hold a constellation of small conclusions
While coming forth with wise solutions
The Sphinx, she...

They drift into my mind quite frequently,
those thoughts of summertime when I was free
of  classrooms, books, and teachers. I could be
an unencumbered child. Time was the key
that opened doors to creativity
for kids performing their...

Where Is My Peace 
And Tranquility?

Yet I Cant Concentrait

Im Floating
Im Drowing
In The Darkness
I Yell Out
Help Me! 
No One Hears Me

Rising up from slumbers ready to tolerate life's dilemmas
Recalling back when I was just a kid, I was fearless
Hiking through the snow on glacial pavements
Participating with other youth and the childhood amazement

Watching the sky powder...

Moments

Within wild windswept wonderlands
I take cautiously casual steps forward
Catching each moments brilliant breath
For every turn leads lazily down
A roughly laid radiant road.

Spectacular sumptuous scents
Beckon my beautiful binding inhale
Capturing exultant and powerful scenes
That lazily linger in...

Month two arrived- cold February's here;
   we've slipped into extended wintertime-
more oft than not, with snow and ice adhere.
   These days in February grant sublime,
true winter wonderlands- our gifts to see-

Yesterday,
the rustic multicolored foliage was scattered about the ground; basting and glistening beneath the tamed fall sun, taking their rest.
The long days of summer had been harsh on them.  For they had entered it,...

Silent giants  oxygen machines
The lungs of mother nature
Wilderness  wonderlands
Coppice, copse, or just a stand
Thicket, timberland
Parks for playing hide and seek
Natures vast expanse
A land of plants and trees galore
A place of peace and quiet
Not...
