Piano music grabs,
Packs a punch, enthralls soul
Painstakingly the sound
Pampers my feelings, 'tis
Perfect panacea.
Passionately lover
Plays piano for me.     ...

Words

Are all equal..

Dismissing the

Call to elevate some

Demote others..

Yet in dreamland

Separation enthralls

And frightens

As words are

Unleashed to

Trick and treat......

Beyond the sand dunes the ocean lies 
framed by lush Ammophila grass;
Soft breeze caressing your skin 
harnesses you for life;
Pooling a deep love 
for what’s boundless;
Wanderlust 
enthralls 
you....

Vast
beauty,
she enthralls
caressing shores.
Her warmth blessing our wetted wandering.

enthralls me . 
Benediction via her spirit , 
evokes pleasure in me .

Life
life is it the great illusion,
death the change, who waits for all,
coming going, loving, fusion,
part time life, encounters gall,
spirit leaves and death enthralls?

There thrives inside my garden walls
a bloom that enchants and enthralls
        this lovely beauty grows

Amidst sweet scents all others pale
Designs on love will thus prevail
       as dew cries on the rose...

Deception of reflection,
each mirror so enthralls
Calling in our timeless hope,
frozen in its pall

Its backing silver plated,
to seal the ego’s dream
Lending what cannot be bought
—deadly in its gleam

imperceptible
    and
      invisible
this fidelity,
delicate
and desirable,
impartial
      without
      blemish:
often
    so ethereal
..fleeting
yet
   enthralls
our notions
of
perfection,
so often
disappers
with a 
whimper...

Dainty toes glide on the floor
Displaying  pas de deux;
Dash of ballet enthralls…
Dancers leaping mid-air
Delightful footwork swirls.
Dame and partner blend turns
Dazzling from crowd’s applause!

lush lilac lilies 
Monet art in flushed garden…
overturned palette

sunburst sky shimmers
colors explode in flowers…
spring canvas enthralls

heart is pounding hard,
    eyes wide and wild again.
      quietly shuts the door.

      sits in trance-like state
      slowly regaining peace
           her meditation...

       heart and eyes on fire,
 storm-calm enthralls her mind:
       into battle once more....

Exotic beauty enthralls
Smooth grey bark on slender trunk
Crowned by a lush canopy
Verdant fern-like leaves

Adorned by pink puffs of fluff
Their fragrance lures butterflies
Bees and hummingbirds hover
Truly delightful

    a bloom that enchants and enthralls

Watching clouds as a hued mural against sky’s ceiling  enthralls
Embossing the dome with majestic stars, lustrous as fireworks;

Then rain pours … to shapeshift nimbus into a bleak tapestry.

The moon calls me
Danger enthralls me
Racing through my veins
None of me remains

Yes, I will hurt you
I don't know you
Now that the moon is full
None of me remains

What have I done
Why didn't you run
Love's blood spilled in the night
None of me remains

The wolf sleeps
In my deep
Until I hunt again
None of me remains...

Just light a candle and watch it
flicker in silence
Rest an elbow on long proven
neglect
And stroll resignedly along 
the same width of spiteful 
zero sums
A step away enthralls a din
Just roil its sensitivity until
it shreds itself
Align your boundaries,
to strip them bare
And turn that din into a funnel-shaped
and infinite sigh...

Louis Armstrong …
a class by himself
Not Dixie or Jazz
but much deeper felt

Growing better with age
his music enthralls
If fourteen or forty
his melodies call

Both Ella and Ray
are seated out front
As Satchmo delivers
when others exeunt

Timelessly treasured
he’d broken the mold
Of what sound can measure
—and a smile can hold

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
