Premium MemberChristmas at the Kids Table

red linen table cloths with white lace overlays
sprinkles of confetti shaped like snowflakes
evergreen plaid napkins rolled into a Santa napkin holder
Holly berry china, only brought out one time each year
Santa Claus cups and Rudolph candles
Every part of the table is yelling “Christmas!”
red and green Jello cubes
rice Krispie treats shaped like Frosty the snowman
Everyone wants to sit with us at the kids’ table

Premium MemberErratically-Tossed Sequins

Erratically-tossed sequins
   Mark the places of night's stadium -
A netherworld of colored stones
   For the spry flights of cherubim -

And Jehovah - madman or genius -
   I cannot quite discern -
Overlays time upon us
   And I'm a lowly spectator.

One angel keeps an amethyst -
   Ignoring an agate - then ruby;
I do wonder if by chance
   There's a rock somewhere for me ...

Overlays
Are the seeming
Maps and filters
Stories and concepts
Memories and expectations
Portraying and explaining
What's happening..
Overlays may
Seem to hide
Nothing at all
Appearing as 
Overlays...

Street Souls

How did he, she, they, and them come to be? 
Diminished, reduced, and ignored in society

Relegated or maybe delegated to busy city streets and desolate byways
Street souls somberly paint landscapes with a myriad of overlays

Barely decent soles or none at all to cover these souls' feet
Yet a daily trample on sordid sidewalks and weather-beaten streets

Cold nights meet cold stares in daytime
Oftentimes the human cord is disjointed and can be so
unkind 

How did he, she, they, and them come to be? 
No one knows but compassion and love
should be the reality

stair board creek
the house long empty
. . . echoes
stale shuffling
shadows to the sound
of overlays 
drained
the house bled
its final drops of her

merged, she
with watchers
faces trapped in windows
held in mist, a haunting
flows of happenings 
in the cold
in the dark
. . . ghosts 
of yesterpeople

quietness
        surrounds,
         overlays
the evening,
      thoughts
      come to mind,
becoming
larger,
louder
        drowning
        out
        all else:
so
peaceful
        so tranquil
        is
        this dream

Premium MemberOver Hill, Over Heather

Over hill, over heather
   Creeps winter weather
A thin mantle of snow
   Overlays the hedgerow

Wind whistles through trees
   As tiny twigs freeze
Creatures retreat to their holes 
   In meadows, on knolls

Parks and playgrounds deserted
   Sunshine's rays introverted
Icicles seen in unusual places
   On craggy rocks, in clefts' spaces

The ground's stiff and it's hard
   In both front and backyard
Brooks and streams turn to ice
   As do small ponds in a trice

Over hill, over heather
   Creeps winter weather
Birds of a human feather
   Must needs band together

Premium MemberA Gentle Touch of Autumn

The autumn comes, an open book
To satisfy our hungry eyes
But, sometimes things can't just be read
Not like a book upon a shelf
We can't just look, …..they must be felt
With every strain of western wind, 
With every leaf, each brittle vein
Each blade of grass, each drop of rain

Was there ever such a day like this
That stretched beneath the peaceful dust
Of scented hay, while shimmering haze
Goes on and on in overlays
Of misty blue, until it ties
The distant hill to distant sky?

Melodies of Sorrows

Over the chain bridge
shadow overlays the light
Danube is lazing underneath
silence is drifting in fright
You are standing on your tiring feet
An eerie feeling hovers over your skin
pathos pales the face
pain mists the eyes
The eyes, watery deep and swollen
are roaming over the night sky,
You are longing for your loved one
suddenly to stop by
Forced smiles sadden the moist air
no joy, no happiness
a cheerless affair
I wish I could comfort you
kiss your nifty lips,
play with your silken hair,
and breaking the surface of sufferings
scoop out your agony and its tears.

Premium MemberNight Drapes Slowly

Night drapes slowly around velvety skin
and gives comfort to an unfolding heart
As passion's eyes enclose time, we begin,
to foster love, so it will never part
The quiet vaulted sky reflects moon's glow
and overlays your face in silken gold
That keeps your smile like a frozen tableau
Gentle to my eyes, so that they may hold
Lost, descending in a world uncovered
Two journey to the center of souls, still
To seek delightful peace, undiscovered
and complete the emptiness they fill

The morning will pour across lighter gray
As shades with clear boundaries slip away

LANTERNE PHRASIS 6
Honest innocence becalmed in sleep
on pathways that house the mind.
Simple,transluscent,form space
&mass made into one,an ancestor
of the surreal.Confetti spirals,
patterns of peaks&troughs in
contemplative mode.Intervals
that float into space,delicate
overlays,where does reflection
begin&end?Throwaway lines
leap out from the chronicle of life.
From my Lanterne poetry publication 2005

Spring Jewels

Spring Jewels

White feather tipped clouds
Design blue skies with a brocade
A coat of many colors nature dons
Her golden locks a Rapunzel’s braid

A braid made from overlays
Of grains and grass slightly curled
Budding plains of fruited beauty
Breathlessly waiting as spring uncurls         

Fine china sits midst 
A jewel encrusted ridge
Coveted ores and minerals
 Build a jewelers bridge

Crimson grows a sunset
Against the aqua skies
Upon morns light spring rides
