hilltop so lovely
a cool breeze blows at its peak
enhancing the view...

the sunbeams shedding
jets of pinks on the hilltop
the clouds rush into...

Two ladies on an hilltop slept
Where coyotes howl and nightly crept
They heard no growl
Nor any howl
But learned to look before they stepped!...

a recurring dream a hilltop

i take my pug to a pet shop

his hair moist and long

up pipes a clerk your pets a mop....

Flamboyant music
Lovers of aroused colours
Sun kisses hilltop

Slowly becoming an adult... please make it stop
Who knows what lies ahead beyond the next hilltop
Could bring fame
Could bring shame
With the path I've chosen, I wouldn't swap...

how innocent these first flakes of snow
with wistful winter on tiptoe
impatient for storms to blow
hilltop or glen below
how innocent these
first flakes of snow
in whitetail's
moonlit
skies...

over the hilltop
                                                    trio of Samurai gaze
                                                    titian clouds and sky

lonely cloud wanders
over the expanse of sky
seeking for others

red stag on hilltop
silhouetted in sun light
roaring out his claim

black clouds whipping in
blustery winds stir the sea
towering waves crash down...

House on the hilltop
Very old, falling apart 
Terror built inside
Red rose has haunted the halls
She’s put a nightmare within

Sapphire teardrops 

Watching the sky 
as it claims 
the horizon
Sapphire teardrops
on rose petal 
sighs

Gazing alone 
from a hilltop 
of sadness
Missing your smile
as the setting sun 
cries


Good night Soupers...

life has been a long-tough crawl
bushwhacking through devil's claw
in the clearing, a hilltop pond
touched by the feathers of a swan
touched by the feathers of a swan
in the clearing, a hilltop pond
bushwhacking through devil's claw
life has been a long-tough crawl

lolling on a hill
in glossy days of summer
cherishing blue skies

fat bumblebees hum
tunes of sweetness and sunlight
purple rose delight

gurgling brook's laughing
then the fall, and mum's the word
chrysanthemum craze

calico cat frisks
in the mystery of hours
colored by beauty...

high on a hilltop
stands the castle of the wind
in fuchsia rose mists

enchanted fortress
with a broad moat surrounding
child's fairy tale land

palace of bright stars
when the crescent moon's shining
all indigo night

castle of the clouds
in brass sunshine of morning
when dreams have come true...

There is a divine hilltop
Living deep within my soul;
In quiet I will climb it 
Til I reach my peaceful goal. 

All the forests of the season 
Will brush away my past woes
Turn the sand dunes to rivers 
And build rocks of new morrows.
On this hill, I'll grow fine seeds
Like a warrior of life, indeed!...

WILDFLOWERS ON A BREEZY DAY


A tenderness of blue velvet
As far as the eye could caress,
A shyness of pink hiding  
In wind waves to the hilltop.

I used to own a castle fair
 On a hilltop high
 It vanished into misty air
 And I really don’t know why

 I used to have a diamond ring
 Of the very finest gold
 I lost it in the coldest spring
 I have ever known 

 I used to love a charming prince
 Once upon a time
 But he left me here all alone
 Once upon a rhyme...

Cliffs were sentinels reaching to the sky
Gulls chided my presence with loud decry
I scaled a hilltop to glimpse the sea
Piety washed in gentle waves over me
Never had I felt so humbled before,
watching fingers of foam fondle the shore

Mummy & Daddy sitting on a wall

One brick breaks and I wait for it to fall

Little bird lands and eats the food that's there

Little bird leaves and tweets in despair

More bricks have crumbled, the dust in a heap

Cannot leave this hilltop, it's too steep

The dust blows away, it is gone

And on the ground sit Mummy & Daddy, Kim & John...

carried by the wind
dandelion wildflowers ~
seedlings propagate


scarlet prim roses
wildflowers sway in meadows ~
hummingbirds hover


hilltop wildflowers
thirst sated by gentle rain ~
fragrant scent released

Like a Banyan Tree, 
my roots (seeking rebirth),
from eldest, outstretched limbs, descend
to a heartening earth.

Like a Banyan Tree
on hilltop with grand stance,
love from embossed gold earth and sky,
shall help my soul's expanse.

Spirit rustles arches
of my highest leaves.
Life flows through my core,
my dawns, my days, my eves.

N-ew day begins to break, 
I-n the early morning light; 
N-ovember eleventh Saturday, 
G-lowing beacon is in sight. 

B-rand new day begins to break, 
R-ise of the sun has shown up; 
A-iming to warm the weather, 
Z-enith stays above the hilltop. 
I-nclement clime disappears, as you start to awake; 
L-ight in the sky shines, new day begins to break....

Slow down
your sweet mellow embrace;
Falling for you I drown,
my pulse just starts to race;
Let me run your playground;

I swing 
through your mind and whisper 
“You are so addicting.”
A full body shiver 
uncontrolled and shaking;

So hard 
I just can’t seem to stop;
Safe within that backyard 
moaning from your hilltop;
My soul I must safeguard....

Hilltop tomb
Old crypts ruin
Grave robbers den
Home of unforgiving 
Cracked wall
Mortuary 
Side disturbed
Unnecessary
Mother and child
Sleep till the end
And when you dig
The sleep you kill
The dream you steal
Someday will
Saturate your dreams
Haunted by lost screams
Torturous beings
Rabid things
The hole that you dug
Came out through your soul...
