Koropuko Falls
Hunger for perfectly placed punga path
Snakes surely slowly..garlanded scarf
Turns & rakes fern festooned forest floor
Sun dappled glade, bathed and swathed
Glorious green sheens in every shade
Follow the hidden hollow - through a secret door..
Fairies frolic on tour…bucolic tonic to explore
Rumbling..fumbling through moss tumbling dreams
Stumbling…rambling, ambling & scrambling
Rugged roots hugs…tugs.. rock hewn strewn

Mythical Myra
Mythical Myra lived in my mind
She was my bestie – lovely and kind
A terrific listener when I had to unwind
Giving me honest suggestions, not easy to find
A wonderful secret, enjoyable to keep
She usually conversed during deep sleep
In my dream, drove a classy Barbie-like jeep
The kind never found in a junkyard heap

Are we like the mythical Adam and Eve?
Are we like the mythical Adam and Eve?
(A lone voice whispers to his true love as Mother Moon, watches)
My Sophia
Are we are like the mythical
Adam and Eve
Walking upon the grey shores
Of a lost planet
Hidden in the deepest of space
Our true love holding us
Knee-deep in make believe
As if buried alive
Where we will witness
The birth of

Unscaled Captivity
Deep in the unfettered land of Rainbow Forest…sit of child of Never Known. A toddler boy, appeared in the realm to see what he saw with an origin unknown. A wail, a whimper, a cry to the untouched flowers and trees. No other child is around…no movement he sees. The wind is mild and the

Lilith
Lilith
Veiled in the moon’s ethereal grace,
She emerges from her shadowed place.
A crown of black roses adorns her brow,
Each thorn a reminder of the pain she must avow.
In the moonlit meadow’s misty embrace,
In the air, night-blooms leave a lingering trace.
Beneath the silver glow, a symphony of leaves,
As whispers weave a haunting melody, through the trees.
Draped in

Mythical Mirage
As my iris heart
sleeps on an orchid pillow ~
fading memories
alive like alzheimer's blooms
swirl in magnolia zephyrs...
I'm a myth, reborn as rust, in life's twilight rendezvous,
laced with truth's tulip Luna and lies' lavender crescent ~ alike
like laser light, serenading in cranberry croons of time.
Eden's mirage fades,
silky rings of illusion ~
hue a milky light
This poem has

Mythical Moon By Day
As dragonflies squint in the rayless night.
My glimmer of whimsy embraces flight.
Yet faith wanes, and enthusiasm is slight.
As lambency falters—the horizon is bleak.
In a stupendous stupor—drifting on the creek.
All my hopes and wishes were dubious.
The path to gloat is fraught with malicious.
Each stage entailed making us furious.
My whimsy used to be—as bright

Ancient Derodidymus - You So Sweet a Thing
Ancient Derodidymus – You So Sweet A Thing
Derodidymus – an ancient symbol in the form of a
two-headed dragon that’s in a fight forever in one
single body. Yes, for sure . . .
“A Two-Headed Monster” who’s in the mirror for
you to see, “Good Luck,” as one head talks to the
other at will.
Any hint of “Human Normality”

Mythical
I once wrote of lovely mermaid's song,
many years ago, yet still I long
to hear her haunting voice once again,
music of waves never reaching end.
Days I walk a lonely beach once more
searching for her on a distant shore.
Perhaps you're given only one chance
to capture a mermaid in your glance.
She was so lovely, I could but stare
as

Mythical
"Mythical creatures arise in a labyrinth flight round a cloisters,
a crown of flowers and berries they wear in fairyland." Quote by Poet
Stars shiver in the laden cold with the moon's sight.
Autumn's chill sigh emotion thrown across the night.
The elves, faeries, centaurs, and minotaur physicality
in merry enchanting dance in the inner labyrinth
among the

Mythical
Mythical Greek characters can be seen in the sky
Orion, the giant huntsman, draws back his bow
The constellation Cygnus, is said to be Zeus in disguise
Draco, the dragon appears in the big Dipper's glow
The Romans gave us Luna, she lights up the night
Her glow spins stories of passsion and romance

The Mythical River Beast
I watched it emerge
from out of the fog, monumental
in size, a sheer cliff face of steel
moving pass me, almost
quieter than my breath
but for a whispered wake
running from its bow.
Something this big
should have made
more noise.
A black hull bore scars
of scrapings and rust bleeding out
of fissures along its length.
The fog seemed to oil
