Water Brush At Dusk

God made you,
Adam with water brush, 
At dusk
Then, he made 
This world of 
Watercolors with
Just the 
Barest of brushstrokes

Analogies

There are analogies
well hidden
in the trees
behind golden leaves

The  barest breeze
reveals them
to those that take
the time to wander-

Life is meant to ponder.

Never Daring To Look Down

I stand on the highest cliff shaking,
it's the barest, sharpest reef existing...
never daring to look down;
ravens watch me with a frown, 
but the awful feeling keeps growing.

lonely 
solitary 
shadowy 
..the hidden
         sub-conscious: 
           a dream 
brings forth
    the enigmatic 
to the fore,
the barest 
             whisper
changes..
             my mood..

Souls

Souls do not weigh much. 
Not at all- 
that they can outdo the lightness of a feather 
and even the barest of all wrecked hearts. 
Souls- too delicate, 
that they stray upon vibration of the thinnest air. 
You see, I have a soul. 
It will take me. 
And I will let it.
And as for you, 
who is a soul wrapped within a soul-
if the air takes you, 
then I shall let you go.

Lockpick

She gives away so little, scraps of
intelligence, barest insights, unconfirmable
though out there I’m sure, waiting for
verification by heart, united futures only.
One could insist on truth, but expect a dodge,
feelings flying fast for firmer ground, falling
into a sandpit of forgotten facts, unexplained pasts.
I yearn for the password, the secret code, the
combination that will unlock mysteries.

Flying kiss

My purse shows barest of bottom,
The returns, never so handsome,
What a Valentine Day
That would never well pay--
A flying kiss is all to me hast come!
Dear Valentine, vague kiss
Can’t do what can a Miss,
What matter can, cannot atom.

Love As It Is

What is love,
but a fragile
promise
held together
by the barest 
thread.

So easily broken
if not carefully 
looked after.
So humbly rewarded
if treated with care.

Shown not through words,
but our actions,
for it's the little things
that make up 
why we love them.

It is one thing to say, 
'I love you', 
but how lovely it is
to be shown.
For actions have always
had a louder voice
than words itself.

If I Sow a Seed

If I sow an infant seed To bring a flower forth From what seems A very dirty Earth And drop some buckets of rain Upon it every other day Will it bloom or simply be If then I up and walk away What if I hung around Perhaps a song to sing Hum or talk awhile longer Or listened with a simpler smile offer Would it want to know Who it was that gave it love Or merely be satisfied With essentials the barest of
