Arrives,
spring in green hues.
Buds and blooms opening.
The crocuses are in full bloom,
violet and pink amid slender leaves.
Bees rally round and songbirds chirp,
flying from tree to...

The path
being pathless,
like the roots of a tree,
seeking nourishment from the source,
requiring merely heart’s burning yearning

a soul aging,
splendorous sentinel,
an entity peeking through bark

Holly, ivy,
Fur tree and candy canes.

now memories,
piggybacked through summer.
On handlebars, calloused fingers
steered dirt bikes to an emerald kingdom.
Two boys, on tree stump thrones, ruled worms
unearthed with splendid crowns
of sundrenched leaves,
carefree....

in the corner,
a wreath put on the door.
A Christmas elf sits on the shelf
keeping an eye out for family to come.
Everything there to set...

Where did your heart go did you leave it in the rain

Drowned forgotten bloated and with wrenching pain.

Lost from the sun living in the shadows...

Evening.
A harbinger,
the breeze is redolent
with petrichor. Soft rain begins.
Across my bucolic demesne, I see
My erstwhile dalliance’s town
Ephemeral it was
But such passion
lives on

That day
A willow tree
Where...

Orange
Tulips bouquet
And the peaches cream cake
Given as a surprise bestow
Under the flame colored flower tree
Where the monarch butterflies fly
As a symbol of two 
Souls that...
