Peiter de Hooch of whom we know not much
yet his  courtyard art had the quality touch
His work so carefully designed
sadly to die out of his mind...

The courtyard beneath the graves
Grew still in my heart.
My brother sleeps 
on a hotel bed
Sniffing in the soft air.
The present blisses my mind....

In my soul's courtyard
A game between mind and heart
Playing squash hardcore,
Though smashing the ball full force
Sounds can't escape the four walls...

Yesterday by hand I caught a fly in the my house,
For which my cat was chasing two-three hours.
Today all cats in our courtyard,
looked at me with admiration and regards....

In my home's backyard, 
There's a courtyard bloom, 
Nature's beauty's room, 
A summer's delight, 
Basking in its warmth, 
Held by hue and light.

under 
   unsettling
      dark 
planetary orbit 

tall 
   gray shadows 
      devoid 
   from motion  

in church courtyard

where 
   dead 
      yet shall live

The sweet aroma of jasmine 
wavers and captivates my mind.

Today known voices again 
binds me in the string of love.

I turn back and see that the footsteps
i've made still carry the soil  of 
my  courtyard....

In the love courtyard of their life
Life and nature easily blend
blend silently and so softly
Softly yearn for one another.

I get up at sun rise daily
Ready for garden work
A hoe on my shoulder
Cutters and rake in my hands
And gum boots in my feet
But with Goliath at the gate
The courtyard I cannot leave
And hunger is my daily bread...

Penurious hungry lad
Grab the piece of
bread
That dropped on his
head
The fortune reached
over the high wall…
Angry man in the 
Courtyard shouted 
Hay!  It is not for
you,
Keep it for 
Stray dogs!

Swingin' it in sunshine almost 
barefoot skippin' o'er the
grassy courtyard breathin'
freedom.

Smiles you flash
eventually catch
attention to unmentionables.
Air quivers

skin slithers through
broad shoulders dark
flanked supremely.
Wave and wave back....

then you rushed into the leafy courtyard late
like you’d just been thrown in by some hand
but we hadn’t actually arranged it yet 
I knew immediately the timeline was 
malfunctioning, still, I went with it anyway
for old time sake and the yesterdays to come

plain wooden cross
     atop
          tired 
               ethereal chapel 



unkempt
     courtyard
          crushed dreams 
               of detached young

Wayne a Great Dane, 
   from a princely court 
      was playing in the courtyard. 
         He rolled and fell short 
            in the castle moat.

A good sport 
   he was. With laughter roar 
      from the royal court; 
         out his nose water he snorted.

On A Warm Summers Day

On a warm summers day
I met God
Standing in the courtyard
Of my very own backyard
Now here he is
Drawing on my pipe
Passes it to me
Offers me a light
And the mind slips away
Feet drag on the floor
Spinning me in circles
Until I don’t want to be spun
No more...

Cowled Head,
             Wrapped feel,
              Skating on ice in the courtyard.
             No dancing is allowed.
             Fling your arms about!
             Make your garments flow!
             No one will ever know,
             You are the last dancing girl on the street....

Haiku poems 


1-

The window is open,
Lace curtains
danced newly.

2-

At  the morning
In House Courtyard
The almond  tree
witnessed on a woman hitted .

3-
The rains
will not wash
a sadness of his eyes,
Lonely Dog.

4-

Despite,
It was lightness
Water can't sink it,
Nelover flower....

The keeper of the nighttime flame
Stands vigil in the courtyard of emotion
Where he enlightens the many who wander
Through the entrance of new found love
His light teaches the many of burning heat
It lights the way for all to find their hearts
As they may have been locked behind
The walls outside these very gates...
