In the ruby and orange rinds,
Moon blossoms of midsummer eve.

Moon blossoms of midsummer eve.
Romantic ebon-sky widens.

Love at First Sight - A PantoumHow lovely it was to romp on the grass,
How easy it was to make friends with her.

But their red car sped on in quite a blur.

Those pearly blossoms help her chill.

Her Summer buds,...

SpindriftSoaked by a spectacular spindrift,
liminal lingering leaves me locked up;
My eyes, a glass covered in sea salt;
Warm spray masquerades the rim.
Liminal lingering leaves me locked up,
waiting on tempestuous mavericks;
Warm spray masquerades the rim,
sprinkles intrude and...

The snow, deliciously stabbing.
This treat for bare feet, astounding.
Tap-tap, my attention grabbing.
Lost mind, all reason confounding.
This treat for bare feet, astounding,
as by leaps, a senseless lesson.

The Steadfast Flame
A flickering lamp, truth's fragile light,
In shadowed halls, where whispers reside,
Like ancient oaks, we weather the night,
Our loyal hearts, where trust does abide.

A fortress built of whispered, shared vows,
Our loyal...

You and IYou and I
You and I together
working as a team.
Over rugged mountains,
across raging streams.
Working as a team
through dark valleys of despair.
Across raging streams,
life’s bridges we repair.
Through dark valleys of despair
our love light shines the way.
Life’s bridges...

Dreamcatcher
The flatline walk between two —
On each side, the little girl;
Night nears to crush bones —
The woman beneath sheets,
On each side, the little girl —
She's straining even on wings;
Night nears to crush bones;
Flowers slink low,...

The Way Uphill is PavedThe way uphill is paved
With Winter white and cherry lips;
Silver wings filigree-engraved,
Runners’ serpentine-slips.
With Winter white and cherry lips,
Calmness after the blizzard winds.
Runners’ serpentine slips.
A child’s whim, hallelujah hymns.
Calmness after the blizzard winds.
The landscape, a breath...

Light Of God Reigns
When gray waters of June moan…one last time
Near the dimming edge of our isle, offshore--
How so many stars tremble quite sublime
For this clutch of demise gushes its pour.
Near the dimming edge of our isle,...

We worship the Sun that’s wielding fire,
be still let the dandelions bloom;
Release the last of the bitter frost
allow a smile to return to your eyes;
Be still let the dandelions bloom,
