The Silent Kiss-POTD

The silent kiss from the morning's sunbeams
softly brushed the beauty of your face
in a tender embrace of halo light
    where my heart quivered in wonder
As our eyes began a spellbound affair
Time seemed still, and the world faded away
Clouds parted and sunlight spilled upon the land
The dawn became weightless when passion welled
 

The Beauty of a Magnolia - POTD

The magnolia almost whispers to me.
Let the stream pass by me, nourishing 
Food that comes from the sweet current.
That flows from hills down to my cottage.

There are many quant cottages around,
All decorated with climbing green plants,
I love them all, ivies, clematis, vines, and more.
But I am in love with the magnolia tree.

She blooms in late

What Is Friendship POTD

friendship can be great
looking when will I find you
will that be today
are you now looking for me
will our search go on and on


there you stood looking
oh you came out of no where
what a big surprise
our friendship is a flower
fun and laughs are everywhere


our fun and laughs turn
it all goes so very wrong
hurt and pain from

Gullible I am

Gullible I will always be

Been burnt many a time

Is who I am

Will I ever change

Lesson learnt…No Ma’am!

Pause Between Summer and Autumn

Summer sighs ~ she pauses to gaze on days  
When sunlight drips from feathery birch leaves
Whispering of growing large, ripening,
Enchantress turns maize to fields of spun gold
She sways in rhythms of pregnant harvests
Only seen in dreams of the equinox.

As white clouds

Pictures - POTD

Photographs hanging on a clothesline
Some in color, some black and white
My picture is pinned right up with theirs
In the sky filled with cumulus clouds

Listless Song Of The Starving-POTD

Israeli hostages and Gazans hollowed,
the dark cold cruelty of some in humankind.
Gray circles under frightened eyes,
bones protruding from fading frames.
Listless song of the starving,
grieving God. ~

In the Eye of the Beholder-POTD

Quote --The ugly girl cries in front of the mirror, 
She does not want to adorn herself as no one cares, 
Till her blind lover tells her how beautiful she looks, 
She hugs him, kisses him and finds her beauty in him. -- unknown

An old sweater, stitched long ago 
by my wife’s loving hands,

Heartbroken By Young Love --POTD

I feel your unrehearsed pauses--
the rustle of a blue shirt in leaving
a tangy ache your firm lips make,
holding back  cold, collected words.

This rendezvous ... a slow-fire quiver
an  ending which has it's own interment;
and outside, night wrestles with time
brittle dew against my eyes, dry mouth
licking an estranged bite that reminds me
of your frivolity .

Confronting Shadows- POTD

On a dusky evening long time ago,
When shadows huddled at every corner, 
When rain had gone and birds had roosted,
You held me close and whispered in my ear;

“In your eyes I see, the blue of the sky,
In your soul, you hold the depth of the seas, 
Love swells, like tides on rise,
My life, I vow,

Peach on the Rose POTD

peach is on the rose
since orange sun shines so bright
earth's bathed in warm light

redbirds are singing
of yellow saffron summer
near garden stunners

sapphires in the sky
vagrant clouds have gone missing
gold fields glistening

sunshine rose fragrance
colors and green everywhere
butterflies in air

GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT- POTD

A wild unpredictable stormy night
Harsh wind squeals through window panes
Random deafening claps of thunder
Lightning illuminates the night sky again

Disgruntled angry waves crash loudly
Heavy rain pounds on the roofs slate tiles
Mother nature is enraged tonight
Unrelenting , unforgiving , hostile

Inside the walls of the old stone cottage 
A sacred wood fire blazes bright
Radiating great warmth and infinite

Howling Wilderness - POTD

The path is lost where wild winds press, 
No compass holds beneath the sky— 
We walk alone through wilderness. 

The thorns of time, the weight of stress, 
The silent trees that do not lie— 
The path is lost where wild winds press. 

Regret is thick, and hope grows less, 
Yet still we look, and still

Love Can Be Grand - POTD

In spring we come out to see life,
out from our long cold winter's nap.
Bears are so loving not wildlife.
Love can be grand.

I am your big fun bear asap,
you are my fury playful wife,
I love to see you in gift-wrap.

Tonight we need some fun nightlife,
eating fish not from a flytrap,
using my big claws not a knife,
Love

Smoke And Mirrors – Channelling in the Spirit of Edgar Allan Poe

When regulation picks at pillaged dreams

The searchlight shines its brutal beams

As shadows spill its borrowed light.

judgement retains its fractured fight.

A blind eye turns as life disbands

the gavel strikes by unseen hands,

The scales unbalanced - Truth? Hard to reach,

Sold by madness -
