Gaze Out the Pane
I talk to the trees
but they don’t listen to me…
I tell you my dreams
and while you’re listening to me
I suddenly see them
come true

The Dawn Visitor
The nights were short,
A clear summer, long and hot,
A chickadee visited every dawn,
And caught a stunning view by the pane.
Maybe my nest’s walls knew,
A fluffy gray-black chick who...
Lit the sun pointed to my nest house...
Captured my morning drowse.
A courageous little skylark,
With a notorious chirp crack,
She repeatedly taps my pane,
And sharply beeps, in rhythmic strain.

The Window Pane
Just getting ready to open the door,
an old door with six panes of glass
filling the upper half of the door,
like six frames of distinct pictures
into the world.
Wanting to step outside and take a deep breath
of this warming spring morning,
but noticed one of the panes was different
than the others, distorted slightly,
like old time glass.
I took some

THE WINDOW’s PANE
A spell cast, a net of wonder forever,
Transfixed in mountainous worlds, clever.
Isolated in chosen safe places, deep,
Sublime generosity, secrets to keep.
A portal of experience, a window's grace,
A reprieve from boredom, time and space.
A caress of melancholy, when skies open in rain,
An embrace of hope in sunshine, easing pain.
A pact with the vine leaves, whispers low,
A

Beyond the Pane
Villanelle: "Beyond the Pane"
B. Marquardt-Alexander with Sylvia Plath and Ima Gen (credited to all)
In sunlight's haze, I stare beyond the pane,
A world outside, where love and joy remain.
Where freedom calls, my heart begins to strain.
The grass whispers secrets, as I lie in vain,
Longing to flee, to leave this heartache's stain.
In sunlight's haze, I stare

A wet pane
Pictures of life are so blurry looking through the lens of a wet pane
Wind fills it with all its fury heavy; driving me today a cold rain
It howls with a strength; if only I could use the screen as a harnessing strain
But instead, I run from it just as a minnow swims towards a seine
It's

A Nightshads Song
Winter rains lover
the cold north wind
fought against the thought of warmth
in which we would embrace again.
It holds steadfast to the slow
beating of the window pane
drums loudly out thoughts
leaving us numb.
Ice courses through veins
long forgotten canals
whom once held court for promises
of love stricken stars
that fell from above.
Silence is left shouting
deaf tones
of moments
long held to endless

A Dust of Pane,A Dust of Mass

the air is the chemical

Staring Into a Window Pane Space Full of Quadrilaterals
sandpaper savage today
buttermilk wavelength tomorrow
directions are like buffets in multidirectional earthquakes
yet and still i cherish the day
downward spiral clouded pepper today
scallops dipped in butter sauce tomorrow
arrows are like indecisive enthusiasts continuously banging their heads
yet and still i cherish the day
driving off of an embankment today
sucking nipples carelessly on a pillowtop mattress tomorrow
pathways are like emotional

Stained Glass Pane
One day—
The sea will be my backyard
Every morning, standing upon the deck
Of the one called Going Numb
A “Greatest Dad” mug in one hand
My last vice burning orange in the other
I will watch the sun rise like the formidable Phoenix
Warming the blue green sea with her touch
As tender fingers of a salty breeze
Run through my silvery

Lunar Shines Throughout the Window Pane-
In between my drapes
my eye out the window
I guess I witness
the moonshine it's 11:00 p.m.
and as I sit in my living room
I look with mine eye and I see
the moonshine as I gaze
lunar shines

I Am Just Broken Liken a Pane of Glass-
your life you can see through transparent like in glass
The sun tone skin burnt like brazen bronze brass
My life is broken like a picture on the table
My heart is hoping to be filled with love we rolling and my soul find itself stable
Who's am I
Where am I
Why am I
Life's transparent
Skin tattered and worn
Broken

The Store Window Pane
The store window pane..
Reflecting the bustling traffic and
A backdrop of sky and tree allowing
It all as nothing appearing as lights and
Honking..and stops avoiding catastrophic
Interruptions of movements dedicated to
Sky and tree...

Shining Lights Through Window Pane-
The Shining Lights through window pane
Arching spectacle brilliancy
Capitalization overheated Exchange
Brightly shines the Sun
Arching spectacle brilliancy
Orbital glimpse of spiraling Lights
Brightly shines the Sun
Ever so shines ever so bright
Orbital glimpse of spiraling lights
Capitalizing overheated Exchange
Eversole shiny ever so bright
Shining Lights through the window pane
