perforating blue eddies.
Liquid nitrogen....

Carried by flaps and eddies
A leaf-stop beckons...

Lingering rainbow
Floats above eddies of mist 
Rising from the hills

Tornadoes
Fury with a smoky tail
Eddies of destruction
Deceitful beauty, enchanting danger
Death sporting a makeover...

The creek
                  Gurgling, tingling
Over rocks rushing to
                  Eddies for stillness and some quiet
The stream  ...

ETERNITY

An eternity passed by today
Since I started writing the poem
Full of eddies and storms
Prolonging the time in my heart
Or was it a magic of the art?...

Silk, fine lustrous fabric 
a rapturous vow path 
Elegant romantic wedding
gowns; woven tulle waltz pose
rhinestone whirled in eddies
do the wed till eternity

SOME DAYS

like a little stream
life flows softly and with ease
all dancing eddies


OTHER DAYS

into opaque mud
boulders press with sharp edges
only breathe through crevice...

the ink in my pen 
flows into a wild river—

“Wander Lust and The Need For Adventure”

Showered in soft kettle-drums
Music softly eddies
To purple robed hills
Melody wanders toward 
The streaming chant of 
Mediterranean Sea....

FEELING    GOOD


Life is rich and filled with  delight

Circling round us in eddies and swirls

Our  days  are  glorious glowing bright

We  are swimmers  in a  sea of shining pearls...

Look out o'er the water
   thoughts ebb and flow
Stroll down the boardwalk
   miles and miles to go

Reflect and refresh to
   water's eddies and time 
Seeking new rivulets
   of rhythm and rhyme...

Your tongue tip
steady
clasp my knees to your temple
waterfall your gaping slavery
swallow deep my eddies
Why isn't there a pathetock
your pathetic makes me sneer
when my squirms are finished
 off out of here...

DREAM CATCHER (for Andrea)

Lover of the sonnet she
And fond also of Etheree
Has her certain way with words
That one may catch semantically

I ken she is a kindred soul
Our lineal eddies mingle    flow
And seek out those who listen close
That we all might dream-catching go...

the river dancer

smooth he is 
all under currents
whirling eddies bow with flare
catch up the mind in wild despair 
precariously steps along the crest
then soars across the rocks again
rattling, tumbling over the brink
into the silence of a pool to tarry
for a stillness... then gone...

Winds rip through the valley
Warping treetops bow down 
Writhing branches break off
Winding down to the ground 
Whisking leaves form eddies 
Wrap arms round each other 
Whilst heaven tries to drown

Living river glistens and laughs
       teasing, as it swirls past eddies
             slipping freely over smooth stones
                      pushing tadpoles and skeeters 'round
         meandering through sun dappled meadows
splashing forth fluid songs, making trees smile.

All through spring,
the catalysts of eddies,
encircle the rivulets
bubbling over,
like wherewithal's brandishing
this errant song.
Now the lesson is over,
dark ditches all reignite
treasons answer,
twice mightier than the sword,
he carries his words in the rain
following like the lamb
the serpents gain....

moving as a river meanders
our broken romance
knowing old eddies
touching the banks
feeling out familiar shapes
curves to find comfort 
through the endless night
left over love unbidden
wind chimes through
hollow throats
sweet morsels
leather bound darkness
stifled sighs
unanswered
and so we turn away....

ETERNITY

An eternity passed by 
Since I started writing the poem
Full of eddies in unknown lands
Was it a chance or magic of art?

Going upward to fly in skies
An unknown journey in the mind
Full of intrigues, all supplying
Accumulated knowledge defying
But the poor old brain is shocked
By centuries of old useless stock....

The morning -
kayaks launch, voices call,
sound moves cleanly over deep waters.

White ibis and blue heron cordon cypress knees;
shallow eddies mirror the faces of our dreams.

At twilight, sherbet reflections paint
sunlight's fair, fading face
on our lake.

ETERNITY

An eternity passed by 
Since I started writing the poem
Full of eddies in unknown lands
Was it a chance or magic of art?

Going upward to fly in skies
An unknown journey in the mind
Full of intrigues, in all supplying
Accumulated knowledge defying
But the poor old brain is shocked
By centuries of old useless stock....

From where I stand 
leaning 
which way up 
patches of blue 
or jewelled black vertigo 
bring me back to earth 
and heaven is still here
Untrustworthy planks of mentality wobble 
loose chemical nails 
and windows rattle 
in the human eddies
Time to back up 
clean the head 
reboot 
save the screen 
recalibrate 
sleep
