dull fog encircles
rushing in beautiful mist…
blinded by the light

Keepsake of your love encircles my neck.
         On a gold chain they entwine.
               Two tiny turtle doves....

Her eyes sparkle
  He speaks to her heart

She encircles him, floating on air
  He drinks in her charms, takes her in his arms...

Silent silhouette,
Lonesome in her home,
Emters  a world of crystal sparkles,
Encircles a world of silvery streams,
Perhaps to dream....

sun
  gnaws
diamond
               smiles
bird flies
  moon covers
skidding
    down
pierces
   encircles
sparkling thought
in
   pursuit...

a crown of white locks
                                                   encircles a feeble mind
                                                sleep perchance to dream...

crystal white sand shines 

                    sun clear aqua encircles

                   lush palms wave greenly

enclosed in their sobriety 
 strength encircles defeat 
 entwined in a world 
 of tears for fears 
 we struggle 
 remove the sealed masks 
 of denial 
 and of change 
 live free 
 from that that devours...

Out of an earthly finality of death,
Life rises, embraces freed souls,
above the mournful masses,
Life soars higher than eagle's aeries.
Life encircles broken hearts,
rising, rising.
The sweet Lord, 
He gathers His flowers. ~...

Darkness and light
encircles me
these walls
are closing 
in on me
 A dark future ahead of me
refusing to forgive
bitterness swallows
me whole
 The depths of my soul
none has yet to reach
never knowing my feelings
or that which dwells within...

your sting

Fond of love I cannot say it
having suffered I live happy
this ribbon that encircles me
I dream colors in butterfly havens

love has friends like alabaster
your hair is my ambrosial layer
when those kindnesses are closer
I spend the residue in thinking you...

gentle pops of ice
as surging streams
release its imprisoned brethren
decaying leaves grasping onto blackened fingers
as weathered wind encircles
sputum gurgles past
as stream seems to gasp
chiselled bedrock teeth
laugh as speckled waters
erode and carry
child particles
far away...

The gold band
Highlights the place,
Marks it out,
Encircles it,
Tells the world
That I belong,
The finger points out our love

Its gold band,
Worn like a crown,
Gives it weight,
Solemn duty,
Proudly born,
It represents
Vows I made to you for life

Visionary 
               Angels 
and 
     the 
sound of multi - colored light
      watch the rainbow
as it encircles
       us 
while you wait
            for 
peace
and keep asking, asking
         for 
peace
   the heavy weight 
will be lighter
    if you
are in touch with
your cosmic soulmates...

Spiritually it spun me around in circles
Peering deep within my soul, it encircles
Indigo colored waves of the spectrum
Needlessly filtered out of introspection
Down into the rabbit hole of realization
Leery of the truth and capitalization of
Ending it too early 

So I didn't and I kept spinning on this spindle
Orchestrated to end it on a higher note...

Dark Moon

The twilight sky 
encircles me
As I stand in
morbid reverie.
My mood so dark 
the tears won’t flow,
Choked inside 
they wayward row.

I stand before
the windswept sea
Their mournful voices 
haunting me.
I can’t forget 
their cries of horror;
Unsanctified 
remains of war.

I love my garden,
my beautiful place.
The perfume surrounds me,
of scented flowers abound.

There is so much love in my garden,
my special place.
where I often sit and contemplate,
the endless love of my family...encircles.

I love to sit here in my garden,
where a head full of thoughts unfold.
I love to sit in my garden,
my very special place......

UNDERTOW


stress and undertow
pull my calamitous legs
hourglass empties sand
~
sun beads on my brow
the sea encircles my flesh
driving me under
~
but for God, i’d drown
my spirit within me fights
my tired flesh gives in
~
God catches my fall
he carries me to the shore
he kisses my head

Sultry softness beckoned
by a thousand touches
caressing
the air that encircles
the body divine
chillingly
embers buried deeply
in the soul of passion
burns
charging the heart’s desire
yearning
smoldering aglow
with captured fire
incinerating
levitating
flames of desire
flickering
in exquisite madness
emerging
surging
with thrusts
of pulsating dreams
searching
for velvet at midnight...

As I sit alone
in the empty field
With only my dreams 
A mountain outstretches
it arms to hug me
Its lips, to gently kiss
my tearstained cheek
Birds hum sad, sad songs
Of loves lost in time
Bring forth all the memories
I've tried hard to push
from my mind
Beauty surrounds me
Encircles me in a loving
touch
But still, all I wish for
Is you
It is always the same
You here with me
You to end my pain....

Teetering on a fine line
stretching across the western horizon,
suspended fire, glowing orange-red ball,
slowly receding, slipping downward
until, just out of sight,
split into a thousand shades and tints
like fine lead crystal, broken,
pastel fragments scattered on the clouds,
a pearl necklace encircling
the sky’s bare neckline
before evening’s black velvet cloak
encircles her shoulders.

The cool evening breeze blends
With the warm beach air
And the thickening summer
Fog rolls over the shifting sands

The fog moves gently 
Floating over the retreating waves 
And the hushed empty shore,
Toward the hectic urban streets

Fog muffles the sound
Of life, as if 
Tucking us all in 
With a heavy winter comforter

Nature’s nighttime breath
Edges forward, encircles everything, 
Gently telling us 
Be still, Good Night...

Old Age
=======

Time will not stand still,
Moving ahead all the time.
Once it  starts it's journey,
No one can intervene.

Before we could realize,
Old age encircles us.
With forgetfulness,
slowness and traits.

When new friend engulfs us,
 Organs begin to withdraw 
 from their regular duties, 
Memory says bye to everyone.

All are not fortunate
To enjoy it's entry.
Old age is not destined
To all the human beings.
