Short Drapery Poems

Clear crystals flow free
    Then fall like a drapery 
          Bubbling below in glee...

now is glare caged and pasted dry 
where once wet opened drapery skin so wide
 
moments stubble the truth even as it chews
on dreams stored in eyes’ dark crawlspace...

with accents of spring
     come floral drapery -- tossed

      where hyacinths dance
      in velveteen pirouette 
      stems drip __ filling garden's view

Crucifying kitten pleas, bending rules and illness deeds. 
Seeming upstart, a bleeding rampart, healing meek with insurance geek.
A screaming bleak, knots and knots a tantalizing map of reality. 
We give and get, spend and fret, curtains calling drapery. 
Sun that sins, a past that spins. 
Gasoline dream Work and work, 
a job that sings, kids and citizens....

Breeze
Makes her
Feel well when
Drapery swell in
Air.
Soft touch
She a blush
He an ocean
Breeze

Lanterne one and first word of the second Lanterne should be one. That's why there are nine lines instead of ten lines

Advent, passing drapery
To the veiling days

Traverse within the dusk
Amidst twilight’s threshold hushes

But, for mere moments…
Then the hastening

Twinkling sparkles
Thus, commence jealousy influx

And heavenly bodies falling
For simple glimpses of your face

Where nights with moonlit crown halos
Unfold before you…

Bestowing buttress sound
Royal eves, the subjects to your grace...

Curtains or Venetian blinds,
Drapings, shutters, shades
Serve to keep our privacy
From peeping Tom parades.

Everybody loves a glimpse
Into another’s space,
Surreptitiously, of course,
And never face to face.

Which is why our views are blocked
With drapery or blind;
Thus it’s more enticing, wond’ring
Just what hides behind.

Often, though, we’ll get a peek
At furniture and shelves
And people who, ironically,
Live like we do ourselves....

Sultry scents saturate spring's splendid scene,
forsythia mists, flavored freshness careen.
Lover's lilac blooms boom youthful as green.
Lattice lace drapery veils Anne the Queen.
Hyacinth's honey sweetness sifts so serene.
Sky's cyan ceiling is swept and polished clean.
Wire fence winding ivy privacy screen
opens to garden secrets once unseen.
Expansive as a planted magic bean,
grandiose garden greenery grows to glean.

  RAINDROP DAY

Hands mottled, waves 
at indigo Table Mountain 
soft raindrops fill copper birdbath
full Winter not yet arrived
grey air meadows 
liquid light filters atmosphere 
an old woman struggles under
weight of stagnant memories 
I smile with raindrops
as they manifest a dream drapery
no me, no my, no you, no yours
OmniLove misting me through
my own undying freedom 
minuscule raindrop by raindrop
