Mottled Poems

The Mottled Sunlight

The mottled sunlight glistens
As the bush cacophony listens
To the passionate sighs of lovers
Intertwined not wanting any others

We are together as one
As lovers we have just begun
Promises I will make to you
Always made to follow through.

optimistic dawn
blue and golden mottled clouds
fill with joy feeling

Into a Mottled Shade I Sought My Rest

Into A Mottled Shade I Sought My Rest

Into a mottled shade I sought my rest
As I trekked into my favorite woods.
There I was but an uninvited guest
Seeking Nature's truth, not man's falsehoods!

Walking upon an ancient forest floor
Among towering oaks and ancient beech
Always with joy, seeking very much more
And knowledge that my longing soul will teach.

Into a Mottled Shade I Sought My Rest

Into A Mottled Shade I Sought My Rest

Into a mottled shade I sought my rest
As I trekked into my favorite woods.
Here I was but an uninvited guest
Adoring Nature's truth, not man's falsehoods!

Walking upon an ancient forest floor
Among towering oaks and ancient beech
Always with joy, seeking very much more
And knowledge that my longing soul will teach.

Grey Mottled Pastiche

A maze of tall ascending fingers pierce the sky
Prominent and conceived as seeds
In someone's fertile mind
Crowded together packed in vertical line
That overshadow the pavement below.

Temples of finance and commerce
Amassed in concrete and reflective glass
As tiny moving dots like ants scurry and hurry below
Metal boxes of all shapes and colours
In the city like a river stop

Mottled Grey

Mottled grey knitted top
Little pink mini-skirt
Kick off your heels
We kick it off

Warm breath on my chest
My arm is dead
Kiss on your hair
I kiss it on

Fluttered lash and morning smile
Kiss off and kick on
Into the mottled grey day

Mottled Confidence

Midnight,
Looking everywhere and going nowhere.
I hide my feelings between doubt and bravado,
testing the water before trying to walk on it.
Finding a dozen reasons why I should or
shouldn’t, could or couldn’t, would or wouldn’t.
Finally in desperation, I fling myself headlong into the fray.  
Did I do it? Did I make it?
Then I begin all over
