Very curving
Arching, bending, looping
Circles comes in different sizes
Egg-shaped...

If life is a curving line,
but is so long you can't see the curve,
does it end up being a circle?...

Silver dunes mimic the moon,
Curving in peaceful crescents
Toward the sea's endless depths
To embrace darkness....

Put on a big conflict 
U and C 

Up and straight see me
U 

Curving not to mean
Bowing 

In respond to U 
C!...

RAINBOWS



Take your breath those colors fickle
In a  curving stroke of His wand
Rainbows are a miracle
From God’s creating hand...

I must tell you this bird:
long thin legs, sharp beak
wading in a dappled stream
grayish blue,  at home in cypress
Curving skyward through Spanish Moss...

At sixteen

By curving

It changes

Mighty curving snake courses
Monstrous volume Mississippi
Like great dark horses
That in the spring feels zippy
Whose frozen waters now like ornithopappi

The moon is a curving flower of gold
It was made for me and you,
In this night so cold
It's petals showering us light
As lovers dancing through the night
Enjoying the rhythm of the dear moonlight.

Storming indulge curving point 
Run back and forward
sense of emotion danced 
in glittery surface

Magic box open in eyes of pilgrim
land of joy as being free to all
Forwarding years to given present
excuse governing insanity...

When I slither like a snake sometimes,
Well, no one seems to mind
Curving, winding Tongue of rhymes-
The sharpest of its kind
My poisoned fangs, it should suggest
It is a test of trust
Should I lie on my Master's breast,
Or strike his slightest touch?...

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood"... Robert Frost

Standing at the threshold of decision
I stood once, twice, many times  observing?
Stepping forward I saw all I lost in life's collisions
I ran graceful and unchained just as life began curving....

The iguana is certainly a popular lizard
To figure out why doesn't take a wizard

With that spiky mane curving down its back
It looks like a stegosaurus who went off track

I myself prefer pterodactyls to lizards
To guide me home when lost in a blizzard...

Morning rises along with her smile
Her eyes beautiful in the light 
Her body curving against my skin 
The touch unspeakable 
Words unimaginable 
Feeling remarakable 
Feet tangled under the covers 
hands held close together 
breaths in movement 
moving as one...

Oval lines of opaque light

Violet tracing the universe

     Eons crossing; curving height

Magnetic Venus flares; coerce

     Iridescent sisters of Mars

Aurora imbued divinity

     Odysseys of unnamed stars

Falling to the end of infinity.

He rounds himself around me like water rounding sea 
curving my fears with His breath upon a cloud of nine
I become the prayer that I utter as I worship on my knee
the sun has yet to set the moon is cresenting, I'm fine !  

Love, Pixie ...

BACKROADS
 Rocky,
 Dusty,
 Bumpy,
 Curving,
 Twisting,
 Turning
 Tree-Canopied pathways;
 The Short cut
 The Scenic Route
 Or the long way home.

CROCODILE  SURF



Curving surf and plunging
Breakers  open up and and snarl over
And slap down closed,
Crest of breaker a jagged rim
Dripping long fangs of water
Before snapping shut,
And the surfer disappears
Threshing helplessly in the spume
Of the jaws and the foaming saliva....

Dazzling carmine leaves
dance like fair Geisha on a
Japanese Maple.
Shapely arms, curving branches,
bend in cadence with the wind.



~~   July 1st, 2017   ~~

*Carmine is a pigment of a bright-red color, as is most often used by Geisha to color their lips....

With
her smile
taunting free,
captivating..
infectious dimples pulled me in -helpless...
away with the wind went the scowling dread 
deep wrinkle fear,
curving light-
vanished 
frown........

The moon is a curving flower of gold.
Blue silk is the river below
which gathers sweet Luna’s petal-face glow
And mirrors it in a soft fold.
Delight is the night as we - passion-souled -
sail forth on the ribbon’s smooth flow!

In the darkness
breath turns to pant
that shift of weight
beneath the linen gaze
As she takes her throne
Curving back
brings teeth
to neck and ear
Forbidden words
are snarled love
Breath held
From adoring eyes
as muscles pull her downwards
struggle to remain
the slave beneath her pain...
