So soft as it feels
As swift as it gently lays
Finely it comes....

finely with a nib of  pen

creeping long in mind...

words spring from my head....
Finely sharpened lead

Lovely
Gently
Nicely
Pretty blonde with finely lovely face
that captures with gently nicely smile.

God is
a finely honed machine
You are born 
just to be replaced
Your smile
will smile once more
But on someone else's face...

Tyrant and friend
I keep buried deep
To cease your incessant
Reminding
Your intricate machinery
So finely cut
Your delicacy
Subjugates my freedom...

finely crafted gem
bright golds and expensive stones
far down, tucked away
underneath the ditched mountain
Sparkles and shines as a blaze...

finely coiffured hair
blowing in fall's swift cool breeze..
for sale: crepe myrtle

a hint of fall's chill
tinges the leaves crimson red...
auburn curly locks  ...

A young lady dressed finely in satin
Walked along Fifth Ave in Manhattan
Received an ovation
And much salutation,
From Mexico, she spoke only Latin.

Aconites gazing into the sun
'neath catkins dangling,finely spun

Awakened mammals desert their holes
rummaging midst the hazel boles

Long twilight days in winter's shade
tomorrow..brings snowdrops in the glade...

How finely grind the checks and balances,
the system that minds the store.
To delve into the lies and challenges,
oh boy, what a national chore.

The fluffy fancy gray kitten is dressed to the tens
We used to say the nines, but have you seen her lately?
She is prettier than a peacock and two flocks of hens.
She looks gorgeous, she is truly dressed finely and greatly....

Center>A finely wrought origami bird,
each feather a flightless paperweight
each wing a flexion of stasis.

I wanted it to come to my hand,

when I thought about that
my fingers fluttered emptily
like paper sparrows....

Finely broken glass
filters through 
my picture heart
from where puzzles start
inside tainted walls 
or none at all
shaven and prickly too
In between
on random moons you glowed
melancholy from all and Above
spinning
spinning
spinning !!...

Inhales prosaic air
muse probes breeze 
Filtering depth 
as image melees 
Drum snares the heart 
beating out dull pain 
Osmosing spores 
form finely tuned rain
Patters tap source
concept ignites
Erupts into thought
exhales and writes

Your soul is a song,
Chorusing numerously.

Your many lives but a melody,
Resounding in your mind.

Your soul, a channeling
Of the sound of eternity.

Your soul is music,
So finely tuned.

Your soul is a song,
Filling this world of a room....

(Gathering of thankful family and friends)
 
Time for a Thanksgiving feast
Hope you’re all hungry
There’s stuffed turkey finely browned,
pineapple glazed ham, salads,
Collard greens, hot breads…
Yam pudding, bundt cakes, 
Pies, and more		
Eat!...

Simply put she takes my breath
From the stars at night
Up in the sky as I look into her eyes
I swim inside her soul

Her book I've read, lost for words
That smile is a novel I cant put down
Pulling me in time and time again
I've finely found my feather...

There are no tears
  To softly cleanse
    Covered guilt
      Of thoughtless choice.

There are no tears
  To gently soothe
    Hidden sorrow
      Of aged wrongs.

There are no tears
  To finely heal
    Scar-bound wounds
      Of misbegotten wars....

So beautiful a bird as this,
I wonder if you sing?
Or do you dare the cotton clouds
With your finely fashioned wing?

How sweet a thing to be a bird
And to overcome the sky--
Unfurl your wings for me my friend...
Touch the morning breeze, and fly!

JOURNEY TO SPRING



Dark bass of November’s unpolished brass
Trumpets no light to pass
From dead December’s muffled drums -
Makes all ears numb.
Finely pitched January’s strings 
Their blue sky path sing
To February’s ebony flutes -
Mellow as Grecian lutes....

A Wish For Spring

a finely pleated skirt blossoms
on a just new Spring afternoon
then rushes back to wrap around legs
strutting free of silk stockings
bare feet glory in fresh green blades
recently pushed above the earth
suddenly soft mist of rain scatters all....

Strangled into the ropes of death
An undeserving figure took the role finely
Tears were my favorite pal
Scribbling manifested my parallel reality
Overthrowing seemed an eminent long journey
Warmth was all that I aspired for
Then again, I found a home inside me...
