The sun shines, we all agree
The moon basks in its reflection
Yet upon further inspection
I've heard tell of a tune ~

orange sunlight
filters through the window blinds
basks my room, inviting glow
that awakes my soul

Memory has a selective ring
lets slip unpleasant things
Basks midst prism's colors, prelude to first light
discards unlit alleys, moon-less nights

solar bright heaven lit;
days light beams rays sunbathing;
basks warmth beams sun shines;

Bright
Sunshine
Dawn to dusk
Colours our world
With a golden glow
Without sun we would die
Nature basks in its glory
Scintillating sunlight for life

It lurks in the shadows
and basks in them freely.
At home among willows;
it too, at times seems seely.
Just as an unseen belief
makes reality bend.
A fallen leaf—
brings light to the wind.

The chaos betrays this calmness
forced into a smile
the pain basks in numbness
hiding beneath his guile
no one sees it for what it is
no one cared to know
in those eyes lies no bliss
anger it has sowed

The 'Island Princess'
tethered to her post
basks in sun's radiance
her bow warm as toast
Comes time to depart
the fair bay where she moors
Tears shed rouse the dark ocean
when beauty there is lured

The moon can withdraw; she will crawl
into her colourless body and stitch together her new skin;
she is reborn and basks in her costume of cadaver.
The heart is not that evolved; once broken, she is dead forever.

In the morning dew the dove lightly ruffles
Escaping the breeze from pollen's sightly scuffles
He basks all day in his iris spring
Proudly plumage, prairie king
His chirps unto love
Forever amiss
Caressing his wing
Concealing her kiss

There once was a dog we called Harper,
Not nary a dog could be sharper,
She basks in the sun,
Until the days done,
Then curls up on your lap once it’s darker.
Written with my daughters during our lunch break as we admired our sweet dog Harper!

Smiles and hugs all around
Champagne paints the town
President-elect waves with his Veep
Campaign workers laugh and they weep
The Campaign basks in its glory
Tonight's no time for inventory
But starting early tomorrow morning
An angry America resumes warring

full moon basks in light
reflecting the sun’s bright rays…
illumination
void of emotion
the cratered face seems to stir…
light lost as sun moves
amber crescent hangs
tip it an sip its Chablis…
warm gold nectar soothes

Sifting streams of gold through my hands
Sapphire strewn sands from distant lands
Lusty ambition's avaricious reach
All together rise up to teach --
Polished silver is shiny; bronze basks in the sun
But humble deeds, stitched in Heaven
Of Eternity are spun

WINTER COLD ESTATE
winds a brisk soar basks
bliss frozen breezes cold sores
naked trees blossoms
~
soul cold blistering
winters winds challenges waves bright
cooling winds a blow

He basks in his life
that flashes by,
dwells upon a dance
of the wind’s
reasoning and rhythm,
beholden to the vinyl
of songs forgiving,
when childhood
and first love’s beginning
journey through his mind,
before a final prayer
to open the celestial gate.

Perfume permeates August evening air,
Summer's abloom within night's shadow,
Deep purple gloom basks in moonlight,
And twinkling stars consume the skies,
Beauty eternally stalks night's room.

Bubbling bacon
basks on the bright blaze
blobs blow up,
burning beautifically on coal beds
The bark below bothers me
as I lay back taking the bite:
the branch bears the burden
of my tired bones

His is an unpronounceable name
Who at times basks in soup's fleeting fame
'Lion of the world' his name means
Nothing like that in his genes

Limerick
He bathes in moonlight
Sleeps while the sun burns the sky
He basks in twilight
Weeps when night’s end is nigh
He, who walks in darkness
And yearns for its embrace
He, who’s labeled lifeless
And who’s fallen from their grace
Let him forever be
Lost to their favor
For his soul is ever free
Winged in all its endeavor

A Fairy sits upon the leaves
And takes in the wondrous sights,
Breathes in the beautiful aromas
Watch children's eyes, sparkle bright.
It had been a long winter
She's happy to see flowers appear,
She basks in the sun's rays
Warm weather, is finally here.

She Rather Be Lost At Sea
This happy poem sits in a bottle
Right about now its floating out at sea
It dances, basks and sings in glee
So glad and unjudged without worries
Someday it'll wash ashore in angst
Once opened, short lived will be its glee

I see strange fruits on familiar trees
and fresh fishes in stagnant seas.
I see sparrows growing in the garden...
and flowers flying in skies with heavy burden.
Echoes of reality resound with uncertainty...
Silence screams from depth of serenity...
Beauty basks in the womb of death...
Who will rescue a generation aborted after birth?
