Painted lady butterfly flutters with windswept buoyance...

Silky like feeling
Surrounds the once broken heart
Beating with power
Embellishing existence
Believing in love again

What a beautiful night with the stars embellishing the night sky 
If only I could capture the uncommon night's beauty,
Halo my lover and I until the night separates us...

stand so lethargic 
alyssum and ash aster ---
as though half dead could not live

they raise up their heads 
as though in resurrection ---
embellishing Jesus white

Silhouette shrouded by light
Hologram silting the dark night
Apparition that footsteps blight
Dexterous folds that shield then slight
Outline embellishing mortal flight
Weightless clone brimming with spite...

Love poems during wartime
Bring stars to the night sky,
Embellishing its sheet,
Give the sun a room on a gloomy day,
Its light piercing through the veil,
Hope blooms in the gloom.

A cherry legacy 
and the orange pick. 
Let me go wild.

     *

Embellishing 
the rock, with flowers, 
for a golden fruit.

      *

A journey, for 
the comfort of slopes, 
on the clear lake.

It is when we traverse our waning years,
with some embellishing enhancements,
or any medical type of any intervention,
then realize there is no justice to aging.

After a long time today
Blue throated bird I saw
Cuddling psychedelic sunlight
Dating for the first time this year
Embellishing the boughs with amber moments

Sailing through airs of iridescent clouds
I collected spoonfuls of rainbow joy
To sweeten porridge included in my love's cuisine
Embellishing it with laughing almonds
Served it hot with fragrance escaping to heavens
Angels flew down to taste the delectable dish

The Witness. 

Prosecution´s witness 
Takes the stand his time to shine
Attention at last 
But he can´t help embellishing 
What he didn´t really see 
Defense turns on him 
Makes his report into lies
Witness close to tears 
He had only wanted to help
Getting a bad man behind bars....

A fruitless vein

Ruptures the
plexus

Of society’s esophagus

Embellishing virtual
pleasure

Within browsers of
opinions

Innovations, ideas,
revolutions

Traded for
corruption and malice,

Paranoia on the rise,

Innocence sucked,
swallowed, and
spewed

Into the IP addresses
of democracy...

Alternative facts make sense to Luella
Embellishing and alternating truth is her forte’
Her career of choice was readily determined
Politics jumped to the forefront
It might possibly be her only choice
White House Press secretary 
or Ambassador to a foreign country?
That is what she is pondering now....

I'm happiest when you're here
      We're equal in love square
     
     I see in you poetry
     Bringing end to my anxiety
    
    You are my favorite ballad
    Nacarat hue embellishing dawn's palette
  
    Please come soon not late
   With me butterflies wait
   I know you won't forget
   Today is our garden date

No one asks troll woman her age
She is older than the petrified forest
twice as old as the snow-capped mountains
Savvy, sage, seasoned, Smithsonian-trained

Hard-working too her followers report
Her fawning fans glom onto every word
Embellishing her feats with adjectives of grandeur
She stacks rocks on her head, consuming none of their flattery....

faith
                    spiritual, disloyal 
      believing, converting, confessing 
steadfastness, sincerity, goodwill, poise
     dignifying, embellishing, justifying 
                     elegant, gallant 
                            grace

tranquil in the woods
a cool gentle breeze sweeps through 
the sun takes a sink

silence in the trees
the sun takes a final bow
the moon takes the stage

stars light up the sky
embellishing the night sheet
jewels from afar

the trees are asleep 
a serene aura disbands
tenderness of time

deep is in control
the unseen patrol

A desire of a mind noetic
Into ample authors
What hence may be poetic
If soon imagination will enter in
Thus, inspiring set hands off 
Into accelerated motions
Conscious and naissance
As these, now expressions 
Are more to personal words
Then, creating newer realms of reality
Or even more, embellishing
What were once, merely less distinctive worlds...

Reprise the vision of a resplendent dawn each day
as sunrise brushes the horizon with a pastel array,
embellishing morning skies in lavender, pink and blue.
Such divine beauty glorifies what words cannot convey
I stare with mesmerized eyes, awestruck by the view.

Silver bells 
Rising in pitch
Rhyming jingles
Golden bells chime 
Timing enchantment
Approving its Ring-a- ling 
Embellishing the reindeer's harness
Flight over whimsical night sky performing
Indulging Santa’s approval of their good luck
Jingling, chiming, jangling, chiming in unison
*      Silver, Gold        *
Bells

“She is mercurial
Not flighty, but open
Rarely frivolous, but agile
A delightful chameleon, a risk-taker
She inspires others”

“Hey!” Said my cousin Beatrice
As she read these words over my shoulder.
“That sounds more like you than me!”

I was embellishing her bio on a dating website
Knowing it was more me than her
But eager to get her a match
Hoping I could stop supporting her
If she found a man...

Each season comes with unique challenges
and blessings that affect me countless ways.
I’ve found that autumn woos my pensive side
the most. I seek an isolated place
where only nature makes a welcome sound—
the rustle of the boldly colored leaves 
as they descend, embellishing the path;
the breeze that wakens meditative thoughts,
the woodland creatures, unaware of me
but livening the setting that inspires
the inkling of a poem yet to be....

log fuelled fire blazes in a hearth, throwing out intermittent shadows embellishing a darkened room a flickering candle burns through yet another Christmas eve its light reaches out to highlight images of a family past



a silence is broken by a rocking, creaking chair that projects it's outline upon an empty wall, a victim of years gone by reminisces of many such nights, as a wind roars around snow-filled fields outside of a bolted wooden door......
